Perhaps, but the article doesn't say anything about such a thing. It's weird, if that's the big issue here.

Let’s say that the government takes a 100 foot strip right along the river. Ranches in far west Texas are big. The amount of land is really not that big an issue. But, the Rio Grande is in all likelihood the only source of water in the pasture in question. As such, the government might only be technically “taking“ a few hundred acres, but it will be rendering thousands of acres utterly useless for grazing.

The Maj - erroneously jumped in thinking he had something to offer. I was high-lighting the other man's concern for water rights in this issue (to Y.A. Tittle). Sometimes it might help to follow the trail backward to see where someones coming from. I never took a stand on eminent domain; except perhaps top say it would be opening up a whole can of worms. And then you too... (nevermind)
