Salt River Project v. Arizona Cert Petition

Question presented:

Where the United States has, prior to statehood and pursuant to the 1902 Reclamation Act, undertaken to dam and divert substantially the entire annual flows of a river to *ii provide water for federal Reclamation purposes, must a court applying the federal test of “navigability” for determining a new state’s “equal footing” title take into consideration the impacts of those federal actions on the condition of the river at statehood?
