Are Water rights part of mineral rights?
No. Water rights are in a different category than mineral rights. There are different types of water rights: surface and subsurface. Those rights are treated differently. A landowner has a more exclusive right to subsurface water. When purchasing land in some areas where the water and mineral rights have been separated from the land rights it is extremely important to have the title examined by a professional culminating in a detailed report of the status of all those rights.

How can companies have water rights when individuals do not?
In the United States, water rights are associated with land ownership. Any person, entity or organization that owns the land owns the rights to the water on that land (unless he, it, they sell the rights). Also, any person, entity or organization that has used water from a moving source such as a river has rights to use that water in the future. The use and distribution of the water in times of drought or increased population causes the rights to water to get tricky and contentious. There is a federal court system in the South West United States that deals only with rater rights issues. That aside individuals CAN own water rights.
