What are riparian rights?

  1. A. Present worth of a future benefit

  2. B. Water rights

  3. C. Unusual condition for transfer

  4. D. No undo influence

The correct answer is: B. Water rights

Riparian rights refer to the legal rights that landowners have to use the water on or bordering their property. These rights include access to and use of the water source, such as a river, stream, or lake, for domestic purposes like drinking water, as well as for irrigation, fishing, and other suitable uses. This concept is important in property law and real estate transactions, especially in areas where water sources are a key component of the property. Options A, C, and D do not accurately define riparian rights. Option A refers to the present worth of a future benefit, option C mentions an unusual condition for transfer, and option D discusses undo influence, none of which relate to the concept of riparian rights.
