What you are talking about are riparian rights, who gets what water. Lawyers graduate, have a career and retire with the case they started on still unsettled. I have a friend in Taos, New Mexico who told me about this. The Rio Grande flows through Taos but they have to get their water from deep wells as the water in the river belongs to Texas. The New Mexicans can fish in it however.

The Platte River that flows through several Western states actually disappears and reappears as water is taken out and put back in.
