Riparian Owners Annual Reminder 2018
Do you own land that has a watercourse or drainage ditch on or adjacent to it?
Answer: Yes –You are therefore a ‘riparian landowner’ and you are responsible for maintaining those watercourses
What can land and properties owners do to reduce the risk of flooding?
- Identify your ordinary watercourses/ditches/piped watercourses – check
deeds if required - Check whether they are clear from debris and vegetation and if not clear them
As a landowner, you have a right to protect your property from flooding
– consider how you might do this and prepare a plan.
