<br />The magnitude of unadjudicated Indian rights is uncertain at this
<br />time. Under the so called "Winters Doctrine ,." the Supreme Court has ruled
<br />that each reservation of Indian land carries with it, by implication, a
<br />reservation of water sufficient to support the purposes for which the
<br />reservation was established. In most cases, including those Indian lands
<br />adj acent to the San Juan River south of Pagosa Springs, no quantitative
<br />determination has been made regarding the potential magnitude of use.
