A concern for Indian water rights has come to be one of the nation's most important water resource issues. Its importance is demonstrated by the fact that Indian water rights claims are presently being adjudicated in almost every western state. These rights are usually very senior and also unquantified. How conflicts over these claims will be settled will affect water use and management throughout the West.
