     1133(d)(4)); and
       (2) the guidelines set forth in Appendix A of the report of 
     the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives accompanying H.R. 2570 of the 101st Congress

       (d) Adjacent Management.--
       (1) In general.--Congress does not intend for the 
     designation of the wilderness areas to create protective 
     perimeters or buffer zones around the wilderness areas.
       (2) Nonwilderness activities.--The fact that nonwilderness 
     activities or uses can be seen or heard from areas within a 
     wilderness area shall not preclude the conduct of those 
     activities or uses outside the boundary of the wilderness 
     area.

     essential to flood warning, flood control, or water reservoir 
     operation activities.
       (h) Water Rights.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (A) the wilderness areas are located--
       (i) in the semiarid region of the Great Basin; and

     with respect to which there are few, if any--

       (I) actual or proposed water resource facilities located 
     upstream; and

     water occurring outside the land that would adversely affect 
     the wilderness values of the land;

       (B) the wilderness areas are generally not suitable for use 
     or development of new water resource facilities; and
       (C) because of the unique nature of the wilderness areas, 
     it is possible to provide for proper management and 
     protection of the wilderness and other values of land in ways 
     different from those used in other laws.
       (2) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to protect the 
     wilderness values of the wilderness areas by means other than 
     a federally reserved water right.
       (3) Statutory construction.--Nothing in this title--
       (A) constitutes an express or implied reservation by the 
     United States of any water or water rights with respect to 
     the wilderness areas;
       (B) affects any water rights in the State (including any 
     water rights held by the United States) in existence on the 
     date of enactment of this Act;
       (C) establishes a precedent with regard to any future 
     wilderness designations;
       (D) affects the interpretation of, or any designation made 
     under, any other Act; or
       (E) limits, alters, modifies, or amends any interstate 
     compact or equitable apportionment decree that apportions 
     water among and between the State and other States.
       (4) Nevada water law.--The Secretary shall follow the 
     procedural and substantive requirements of State law in order 
     to obtain and hold any water rights not in existence on the 
     date of enactment of this Act with respect to the wilderness 
     areas.

     and other ancillary facilities, and other water diversion, 
     storage, and carriage structures.
       (ii) Exclusion.--In this paragraph, the term ``water 
     resource facility'' does not include wildlife guzzlers.
       (B) Restriction on new water resource facilities.--Except 
     as otherwise provided in this subtitle, on and after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, neither the President nor any other

     assist, authorize, or issue a license or permit for the 
     development of any new water resource facility within the 
     wilderness areas.

     Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives accompanying 
     H.R. 2570 of the 101st Congress (House Report 101-405), 
     including noxious weed treatment and the occasional and 
     temporary use of motorized vehicles if the use, as determined

     ways different from the methods used in other laws.

     including noxious weed treatment and the occasional and 
     temporary use of motorized vehicles if the use, as determined

     with respect to which there are few, if any--

       (I) actual or proposed water resource facilities located 
     upstream; and

     water occurring outside the land that would adversely affect 
     the wilderness values of the land;

       (B) the Wilderness is generally not suitable for use or 
     development of new water resource facilities; and
       (C) because of the unique nature of the Wilderness, it is 
     possible to provide for proper management and protection of 
     the wilderness and other values of land by means different 
     from the means used in other laws.
       (2) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to protect the 
     wilderness values of the Wilderness by means other than a 
     federally reserved water right.

       (A) constitutes an express or implied reservation by the 
     United States of any water or water rights with respect to

     water rights held by the United States) in existence on the 
     date of enactment of this Act;
       (C) establishes a precedent with regard to any future 
     wilderness designations;

       (E) limits, alters, modifies, or amends any interstate 
     compact or equitable apportionment decree that apportions 
     water among and between the State and other States.
       (4) Nevada water law.--The Secretary concerned shall follow 
     the procedural and substantive requirements of State law in 
     order to obtain and hold any water rights not in existence on 
     the date of enactment of this Act with respect to the 
     Wilderness.
       (5) New projects.--
       (A) Definition of water resource facility.--

     and other ancillary facilities, and other water diversion, 
     storage, and carriage structures.
       (ii) Exclusion.--In this paragraph, the term ``water 
     resource facility'' does not include wildlife guzzlers.
       (B) Restriction on new water resource facilities.--Except 
     as otherwise provided in this title, on or after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, neither the President nor any other 
     officer, employee, or agent of the United States shall fund, 
     assist, authorize, or issue a license or permit for the 
     development of any new water resource facility within any 
     wilderness area, including a portion of a wilderness area, 
     that is located in the County.

       (b) Management Activities.--In furtherance of the purposes

     activities in the Wilderness that are necessary to maintain 
     or restore fish and wildlife populations and the habitats to 
     support the populations, if the activities are carried out--
       (1) in a manner that is consistent with relevant wilderness 
     management plans; and
       (2) in accordance with--
       (A) the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.); and
       (B) appropriate policies, such as those set forth in

     Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives accompanying 
     H.R. 2570 of the 101st Congress (House Report 101-405), 
     including the occasional and temporary use of motorized 
     vehicles and aircraft if the use, as determined by the 
     Secretary concerned, would promote healthy, viable, and more 
     naturally distributed wildlife populations that would enhance 
     wilderness values with the minimal impact necessary to 
     reasonably accomplish those tasks.
       (c) Existing Activities.--Consistent with section 4(d)(1) 
     of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)) and in

     survey, capture, trans- plant, monitor, and provide water for 
     wildlife populations in the Wilderness.
       (d) Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary concerned may designate
