Question

A particular navigable stream has been meandered; the meander line has been in place for 75 years. Recently, the amount of water flowing through the channel of the stream has gradually decreased from natural causes. All indications are that the reduction in the flow is permanent. The riparian owner abutting the stream on one side has asked the surveyor to tell hi, where his boundary along the stream now falls. What should the surveyor tell him?" The riparian owner holds to the same meander line that he has for the last 75 years. The riparian owner most likely holds the thread of the stream The riparian owner holds to the original mean high water line that was established before the stream shrank. The riparian owner most likely holds the newly relicted land The riparian owner will hold to a new meander line as soon as one is established.

Explanation / Answer

If the steam gradually decreased, the owner still holds the same meander line that he had since the last 75 years. Under the Federal common law, the re-emerged lots reacquire all their former rights, the same as though they had never been eroded.

Option A is the answer
