Living Next to a Watercourse
If you own land or property next to a river or other
watercourse, you need to know your rights and responsibilities as a
riverside owner. This is known in legal terms as a 'riparian
landowner'. The Environment Agency has published a comprehensive
guide to the rights and responsibilities of riverside owners,
including the powers and duties of the Environment Agency and other
bodies.
