<br />UUl~.:..a <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Implementation Program by any Indian tribe shall not waive any tribe's claim to water in excess <br />of any allocation to any particular State or be deemed to bind any tribe to the terms of any <br />agreement to which it is not a party. The signatories to the MOD and this Implementation <br />Program disagree as to whether or not the Indian tribes have water rights which are limited by or <br />subject to any agreement among the States to apportion the waters of the Colorado River Basin, <br />including the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact. Nothing in the MOU, the Cooperative <br />Agreement, or this Implementation Program shall be deemed to be a recognition or acceptance of <br />any such claims by any party hereto or be deemed to establish or affect any such claims. <br /> <br />This Implementation Program is intended to provide the means for conserving the endangered <br />fish species in the Basin while water development proceeds consistent with applicable laws. The <br />order in which water development occurs may not necessarily reflect the priority ofthe water <br />rights. Therefore, the successful development of any water project in accordance with this <br />Implementation Program does not create a water right for project beneficiaries or its contractors <br />to the use of water greater or lesser than those to which the project beneficiaries or contractors <br />would otherwise be entitled, nor shall such development of a project adversely affect the water <br />rights of any other water users or water right holders in the Basin. <br />
