A quick definition of riparian rights:

Term: Riparian rights

Definition: Riparian rights are the rights of a person who owns land next to a river or stream. These rights allow the landowner to use the water in certain ways, like for drinking, farming, or playing. The landowner also has the right to use the land next to the water and to have the water flow naturally without anything blocking it. However, these rights are limited by laws that protect the public's right to use the water and by any agreements made when the land was bought or sold.

A more thorough explanation:

Riparian rights are the rights that a person who owns land next to a river or stream has to use the water in that river or stream. These rights are like special privileges that come with owning land next to a body of water.

Some examples of riparian rights include:

  • The right to use the water for things like drinking, farming, and recreation
  • The right to use the shoreline and have access to the water
  • The right to any land that is formed by the water moving or changing over time
  • The right to have the water flow to the land without anything blocking it
  • The right to build things like piers or other structures to help with navigation

These rights are important because they allow people who own land next to a river or stream to use the water in a way that benefits them. For example, a farmer might use the water to irrigate their crops, or a family might use the water for swimming or fishing.

However, it's important to remember that these rights are limited by public policy and other legal agreements. For example, the public trust doctrine means that the government has a responsibility to protect the water and the land around it for everyone, not just the people who own land next to it. And if someone buys land next to a river or stream, the deed they sign might limit their rights to use the water in certain ways.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.
