(2)to provide a more efficient method for adjudications;
(3)to assure that state laws and procedures provide a fair and impartial forum for the adjudication of the rights of all claimants; and
(4)to assure that state laws and procedures are adequate as a matter of federal law to adjudicate all water rights claimed to have been established under federal law and to administer such rights.
