A unique, practical guide to watercourse law This comprehensive guide offers complete, readable explanations of the legal issues and evidence procedures related to the location of the property boundaries of lands adjacent to watercourses.

Land disputes are increasingly involving public rather than private interests. Wetland access is taking the place of estate boundaries, and the expert witness--whether a surveyor, appraiser, engineer, or biologist--is often called upon to help a court reach a decision.

Unique laws and techniques have been developed for defining and locating water boundaries. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the legal and technical aspects of water boundaries.
