wilderness area. 
(b) NONWILDERNESS ACTIVITIES.—The fact that 
nonwilderness activities or uses outside of a wilderness 
area designated by section 201 can be seen or heard from

SEC. 205. WATER RIGHTS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 201 are located at the headwaters of the 
streams and rivers on those lands, with few, if any, 
actual or proposed water resource facilities located 
upstream from such lands and few, if any, opportu-
nities for diversion, storage, or other uses of water 
occurring outside such lands that would adversely 
affect the wilderness values of such lands. 
(2) The lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 201 are not suitable for use for development 
of new water resource facilities or for the expansion 
of existing facilities. 
(3) Therefore, it is possible to provide for prop-
er management and protection of the wilderness 
value of the lands designated as wilderness areas by

tect the wilderness values of the lands designated as wil-
derness areas by section 201 by means other than a feder-
ally reserved water right. 
(c) STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this 
title— 
(1) shall constitute, or be construed to con-
stitute, either an express or implied reservation by 
the United States of any water or water rights with

201; 
(2) shall affect any water rights in the State of 
Idaho existing on the date of the enactment of this 
Act, including any water rights held by the United 
States; 
(3) shall be construed as establishing a prece-
dent with regard to any future wilderness designa-
tions; 
(4) shall be construed as limiting, altering, 
modifying, or amending any of the interstate com-
pacts or equitable apportionment decrees that appor-
tion water among and between the State of Idaho

or permit for the development of any new water re-
source facility inside any of the wilderness areas des-
ignated by section 201.

agement, including the regulation of hunting, fishing, and 
trapping, in the wilderness areas designated by section 
201. 
(b) MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES.—In furtherance of 
the purposes and principles of the Wilderness Act, man-
agement activities to maintain or restore fish and wildlife

section 201 where consistent with relevant wilderness 
management plans, in accordance with appropriate poli-
cies such as those set forth in Appendix B of House Re-
port 101–405 of the 101st Congress, including the occa-
sional and temporary use of motorized vehicles, if such 
use, as determined by the Secretary concerned would pro-
mote healthy, viable, and more naturally distributed wild-
life populations that would enhance wilderness values and 
accomplish those purposes using the minimum tool nec-
essary to reasonably accomplish the task.
