    (f) Release.--The Congress hereby finds and directs that the lands 
generally depicted on the map as ``Lands to be Released'' have been 
adequately studied for wilderness designation pursuant to section 603 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782) 
and no longer are subject to the requirement of section 603(c) of such 
Act (43 U.S.C. 1782(c)) pertaining to the management of wilderness 
study areas in a manner that does not impair the suitability of such 
areas for preservation as wilderness.
    (g) Grazing.--Grazing of livestock in the wilderness area 
designated by this Act, where established before the date of enactment 
of this Act, shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of 
section 4(d)(4) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(4)) and the 
guidelines set forth in Appendix A of the Report of the Committee on 
Interior and Insular Affairs to accompany H.R. 2570 of the One Hundred 
First Congress (H. Rept. 101-405).
    (h) Fish and Wildlife.--As provided in section 4(d)(7) of the 
Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(7)), nothing in this section shall be 
construed as affecting the jurisdiction or responsibilities of the 
State with respect to fish and wildlife in the State.
    (i) Water Rights.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
                    (A) the land designated as wilderness by this Act 
                is arid in nature and is generally not suitable for use 
                or development of new water resource facilities; and
                    (B) because of the unique nature and hydrology of 
                the desert land designated as wilderness by this Act, 
                it is possible to provide for proper management and 
                protection of the wilderness and other values of lands 
                in ways different from those used in other legislation.
            (2) Statutory construction.--Nothing in this Act--
                    (A) shall constitute or be construed to constitute 
                either an express or implied reservation by the United 
                States of any water or water rights with respect to the 
                land designated as wilderness by this Act;
                    (B) shall affect any water rights in the State 
                existing on the date of enactment of this Act, 
                including any water rights held by the United States;
                    (C) shall be construed as establishing a precedent 
                with regard to any future wilderness designations;
                    (D) shall affect the interpretation of, or any 
                designation made pursuant to, any other Act; or
                    (E) shall be construed as limiting, altering, 
                modifying, or amending any of the interstate compacts 
                or equitable apportionment decrees that apportion water 
                among and between the State and other States.
            (3) State water law.--The Secretary shall follow the 
        procedural and substantive requirements of the law of the State 
        in order to obtain and hold any water rights not in existence 
        on the date of enactment of this Act with respect to the 
        wilderness area designated by this Act.
            (4) New projects.--
                    (A) Water resource facility.--As used in this 
                subsection, the term ``water resource facility''--
                            (i) means irrigation and pumping 
                        facilities, reservoirs, water conservation 
                        works, aqueducts, canals, ditches, pipelines, 
                        wells, hydropower projects, and transmission 
                        and other ancillary facilities, and other water 
                        diversion, storage, and carriage structures; 
                        and
                            (ii) does not include wildlife guzzlers.
                    (B) Restriction on new water resource facilities.--
                Except as otherwise provided in this Act, on and after

                the United States shall fund, assist, authorize, or

        the public land laws;
            (2) location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and
            (3) operation of the mineral leasing, mineral materials,
