SECTION 1230-1232
1230. Upon any stream flowing across the State boundary, an appropriation of water in this State for beneficial use in another State may be made only when, under the laws of the latter, water may be lawfully diverted therein for beneficial use in this State. 1231. Upon any stream flowing across the state boundary a right of appropriation having the point of diversion and the place of use in another state and recognized by the laws of that state shall have the same force and effect as if the point of diversion and the place of use were in this State if the laws of that state give like force and effect to similar rights acquired in this State; provided, that this section shall not apply to the Walker River and its tributaries or claimed rights of appropriation therefrom in the State of Nevada, whether heretofore or hereafter initiated. 1232. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), nothing in this article applies to interstate lakes, or streams flowing in or out of those lakes. (b) This article applies to any appropriation or change in point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use under a right to the use of waters from the Truckee River if the appropriation or change is made pursuant to the operating agreement described in Section 205 (a) of Public Law 101-618.
