Water Rights

Riparian Rights

Tied to land adjacent to water

Landowners with property bordering a watercourse have the right to reasonable use of the water. Rights are inseparable from the land itself.

  • Attached to land with water frontage
  • Cannot be sold separately from the land
  • Subject to "reasonable use" doctrine
  • Shared equitably among riparian owners
Common in eastern US states where water is historically abundant• Asset location: Tennessee

Rights status, seniority, transferability, and enforceability vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Always consult a licensed water rights attorney and verify status with the relevant state water resources agency before any acquisition or use decision.
