Water disputes have been around for a long, long time and they are a complicated issue. Issues regarding water are governed by state and federal law and case law. Flowing water is needed to water crops and for home use. Disputes arise between the governing bodies of the communities that depend on any particular water resource. In the United States, individual states have broad authority over waterways within state borders but they cannot dismiss the interests of downstream users in neighboring states. Historically, there have been interstate disputes over water diversion.

This is a very broad topic and an internet search of various articles on "interstate water disputes" will yield more information..
