Product Description

Boundary location is a complicated aspect of surveying and real estate law that presents unique problems when bodies of water are involved. In addition to having a full working knowledge of boundary laws and rules of evidence, a surveyor or land lawyer must also understand the complex world of watercourse law, especially when testifying or presenting a case in court. This book is the first to completely explain the ins and outs of boundary law as it relates to waterways and the land adjacent to them.

Review
"The author's interesting and lively presentation makes the book attractive as a possible addition to the professional bookshelf." (Journal of Water Resources, December 2002)

From the Back Cover
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.

Beginning with a clear examination of the basics of land title and the legal principles defining property boundary movement, it discusses property boundary determination for a broad range of different watercourse environments–including open ocean coast, estuarine areas, tidal rivers, non-tidal rivers and navigable streams, and navigable lakes. This book will equip readers with:

  • A basic understanding of the land title and boundary system
  • A framework for analyzing disputes about the boundary of property adjacent to a waterbody tailored to the specifics of each type of physical regime
  • Insight to recognize when expert consultation is required to resolve a dispute and how to make the consultation useful and productive
  • Case studies illustrating the actual application of the laws discussed

Because of its extensive information and easy-to-use format, Water Boundaries is the ideal resource for surveyors and lawyers confronted with riparian or littoral property boundary issues.
