date of enactment of this Act; and

(f) WATER RIGHTS.— 
(1) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(A) the wilderness areas— 
(i) are located in the semiarid region of 
the Great Basin region; and 
(ii) include ephemeral and perennial 
streams; 
(B) the hydrology of the wilderness areas is 
predominantly characterized by complex flow pat-
terns and alluvial fans with impermanent channels;

in which the wilderness areas are located is charac-
terized by— 
(i) groundwater subject to local and re-
gional flow gradients; and
1533 
•HRES 1512 EH 
(ii) unconfined and artesian conditions; 
(D) the wilderness areas are generally not suit-
able for use or development of new water resource 
facilities; and 
(E) because of the unique nature and hydrol-
ogy of the desert land in the wilderness areas, it is 
possible to provide for proper management and pro-
tection of the wilderness areas and other values of 
land in ways different from those used in other 
laws. 
(2) STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this 
subsection— 
(A) constitutes an express or implied reserva-
tion by the United States of any water or water 
rights with respect to the wilderness areas; 
(B) affects any water rights in the State of 
Nevada (including any water rights held by the 
United States) in existence on the date of enact-
ment of this Act; 
(C) establishes a precedent with regard to any 
future wilderness designations; 
(D) affects the interpretation of, or any des-
ignation made under, any other Act; or 
(E) limits, alters, modifies, or amends any 
interstate compact or equitable apportionment de-
1534

Act with respect to the wilderness areas. 
(4) NEW PROJECTS.— 
(A) DEFINITION OF WATER RESOURCE FACIL-
ITY.— 
(i) IN GENERAL.—In this paragraph, the 
term ‘‘water resource facility’’ means irrigation 
and pumping facilities, reservoirs, water con-
servation works, aqueducts, canals, ditches, 
pipelines, wells, hydropower projects, trans-
mission and other ancillary facilities, and other 
water diversion, storage, and carriage struc-
tures. 
(ii) EXCLUSION.—In this paragraph, the 
term ‘‘water resource facility’’ does not include 
wildlife guzzlers. 
(B) RESTRICTION ON NEW WATER RESOURCE 
FACILITIES.—Except as otherwise provided in this 
section, on and after the date of enactment of this 
Act, neither the President nor any other officer, em-
1535

ployee, or agent of the United States shall fund, as-
sist, authorize, or issue a license or permit for the 
development of any new water resource facility 
within a wilderness area. 
(g) WILDFIRE, INSECTS, AND DISEASE.—In accordance 
with section 4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 
1133(d)(1)), the Secretary may take such measures in a wil-
derness area as are necessary for the control of fire, insects, 
and diseases (including, as the Secretary determines to be ap-
propriate, the coordination of the activities with a State or 
local agency). 
(h) DATA COLLECTION.—Subject to such terms and con-
ditions as the Secretary may prescribe, nothing in this section 
precludes the installation and maintenance of hydrologic, me-
teorological, or climatological collection devices in a wilder-
ness area, if the Secretary determines that the devices and 
access to the devices are essential to flood warning, flood con-
trol, or water reservoir operation activities. 
(i) MILITARY OVERFLIGHTS.—Nothing in this section 
restricts or precludes— 
(1) low-level overflights of military aircraft over a 
wilderness area, including military overflights that can

ing, fishing, and trapping, in the wilderness areas. 
(2) MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES.—In furtherance of 
the purposes and principles of the Wilderness Act (16 
U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), the Secretary may conduct any 
management activities in the wilderness areas that are

lations and the habitats to support the populations, if 
the activities are carried out— 
(A) consistent with relevant wilderness man-
agement plans; and 
(B) in accordance with— 
(i) the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et 
seq.); and

1537 
•HRES 1512 EH 
House of Representatives accompanying H.R. 
2570 of the 101st Congress (House Report 
101–405), including the occasional and tem-
porary use of motorized vehicles, if the use, as 
determined by the Secretary, would promote 
healthy, viable, and more naturally distributed 
wildlife populations that would enhance wilder-
ness values with the minimal impact necessary 
to reasonably accomplish those tasks. 
(3) EXISTING ACTIVITIES.—In accordance with sec-
tion 4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 
1133(d)(1)) and in accordance with appropriate policies 
such as those set forth in Appendix B of the Committee
