The Court refused a reading of "mineral deposits" that would include water, even if "water is a 'mineral,' in the broadest sense of that word," because it would bring about a "major ... alteration in established legal relationships based on nothing more than an overly literal reading of a statute, without any regard for its context or history." Andrus v. Charlestone Stone Products Co. , 436 U.S. 604, 610, 616, 98 S.Ct. 2002, 56 L.Ed.2d 570 (1978).
