T he Report of the Advisory Council on California Indian Policy (ACCIP) “ The Department of the Interior should compile and consolidate existing data on Indian water resources in California and assist the California tribes in preparing current inventories of their water resources. In appropriate situations, the Department should assist the tribes in quantifying their water rights. Congress should appropriate funds for this purpose.” The ACCIP further recommended: –“As part of its trust responsibility, the Department should establish priorities for conducting water resource inventories – including surface and subsurface water sources – of public domain trust allotments in California and, where necessary, quantify the allotment’s water right. Congress should appropriate funds for this purpose.” “

Program Goal: “…successfully support the prudent management and conservation of Tribal natural resources and assist tribes with establishing and defining water rights and settling claims through negotiations.”

Primary concerns expressed by Tribes with respect to water resources issues have included: Surface water and ground water supplies;  federally reserved water rights  water quality  overdraft  water diversions  water transfers  ecosystem management  fisheries
