Riparian rights refer to the legal rights of a landowner whose property borders a body of water, such as a river or lake. These rights include the right to reasonable use of the water, such as for drinking, irrigation, and recreational purposes, but not the right to divert or pollute the water. Appropriation rights, seizure use rights, and extraction rights are not applicable to riparian rights.
