Once you locate your claim is not public domain and you attain the riparian right. The locatable land is public domain and as a recreational user you do not have the water rights. Riparian rights are one of the benefits you gain when you locate the valuable mineral.
True actually. The riparian right is for the gov't land and once you locate a claim you have an appropriated water right, so it is no longer the riparian water right. Either way on land that can be claimed you have the right to use the water.
