Evans, B. & Howsam, P., A critical analysis of the riparian rights of water
abstractors within England & Wales. Journal of Water Law, 2005 16(3) pp 90-94
Abstract:
This analysis explores how traditional riparian rights to abstract water have
developed into English law. How the balance between private rights and state
control is managed by modern society is examined. The main tool has been the use
of exemptions. The practicalities faced by the regulator in enforcing the
legislation are discussed.
