Abstract The "Winters Doctrine" indicates that when the federal government reserved land to accomplish public purposes, it implicitly reserved sufficient water to accomplish those purposes, even though water was not mentioned when the land was reserved and state water allocation law was not complied with. Originally enunciated in connection with Indian reservations, the doctrine has been extended to other federal reservations, including national forests, and presents possible conflict between federal and state water-resource planning.
