Who Owns the Creek on Your Land?

I've not clicked on your link and don't know the terms and such that seem over the top, but I own land with numerous creeks and springs and I also know that if I halted the flow of water on two of them - people down stream would likely die of dehydration. I really don't see it being a problem that "govt" makes sure someone does not do that to someone else.

So, you think you can prepare your little getaway for the coming doom and gloom days, right? After all, it is your land, so who is to say you can't damn the creek to make a pond, or divert water for irrigation? Why, the EPA, of course.
IF they own that land, what about the adjacent property that allows them to inspect their water?
