Tributaries in the Lower Basin
The Court declined to find whether the apportionments in
the Colorado River Compact include tributaries, or just
the mainstream. “Arizona argues that the Compact
apportions between basins only the waters of the
mainstream, not the mainstream and the tributaries. We
need not reach that question, however, for we have
concluded that whatever waters the Compact
apportioned the Project Act itself dealt only with water of
the mainstream.”
