Like I said, water law is complex. Mineral rights laws too. You can "own" a piece of property and not have the rights to streams that flow across it, or under it, or the rights to gold that is discovered on your property, or oil or natural gas that is discovered beneath your property, or even the trees growing on your property.
Believe me it's being looked into all the time, and the people benefiting the most are lawyers.
