Every enacted tribal water settlement, in one cited table.
Congress has enacted Indian water rights settlements since 1978, resolving reserved-rights claims that date to the Winters decision of 1908. The primary records are scattered across DOI, CRS reports, state engineer dockets, and court files. This index normalizes them into one table — settlement, tribes, state, statute, funding, water — with a citation on every figure and a link to every primary record.

The master table: every congressionally enacted settlement with tribe, state, public law, and — where the record states them — authorized funds and quantified water.
