In the United States, ownership of water varies from county to county. It's an extremely complex system. "Water Law" includes many things other ownership such as public water (lakes and rivers), surface water (water that flows across land from rain or floods), and ground water (water found underground). Some rules are made for specific situations. But, ultimately, ownership of water is decided by leaders of a region instead of the President.
All in all, trying to locate a specific law about water ownership has proven to be difficult. It's a very choppy system. The only reason it works so well is because each region has a different water source. There is something that may not be found in another county. Therefor, it would be hard to properly control water ownership if the whole country had a specific set of rules regarding this issue. Even though you can find water practically anywhere, it's form and usage will always vary.
