This law protects existing water-reclamation use of land inside the park's boundary. Land already set aside or bought for reclamation keeps that use under the 1902 Reclamation Act. Reservoirs and other reclamation facilities on that land can still be run and maintained.

Nothing in this Act changes how land inside the park's boundary can be used for water reclamation, under the Act of June 17, 1902, and later laws that amended or added to it — as long as that land was already withdrawn or bought for reclamation purposes. The reservoirs and other reclamation facilities on that withdrawn or acquired land can still be operated, maintained, repaired, and improved.

Nothing in this Act shall affect the use for reclamation purposes, in accordance with the Act of June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388), and Acts amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto, of the lands within the exterior boundary of the park as prescribed by this Act which have been withdrawn or acquired for reclamation purposes or the operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and improvement of the reservoir and other reclamation facilities located on such withdrawn or acquired lands.
