It's been a long time since I looked into it but water rights are controlled at the individual state level so 50 different takes on who owns what and how... unless you're talking about navigable waterways, which brings in federal jurisdiction, eg this lawsuit.

- beerandt 6y agoNo- even if the case happens to be about a federal jurisdictional matter (navigable waterway, or waters of the US, or USCOE jurisdictional wetlands, or direct government ownership/agency of included or adjacent property), this one is covered by original jurisdiction to SCOTUS, since both parties are state governments.
