SECTION 1230-1232




1230.  Upon any stream flowing across the State boundary, an
appropriation of water in this State for beneficial use in another

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

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,
