INFORMATION

Any improvement to land made by private citizens will affect the otherwise natural flow of water. The disruption of the natural flow of water drainage can be a nuisance and/or cause damage to neighboring landowners. 

Harm caused by surface water drainage has been handled differently by various jurisdictions throughout the United States, but can be summarized by three (3) basic doctrines or rules:

The “Common Enemy Rule;”  
The “Civil Law Rule,” or Anti-Common Enemy Rule; and 
The “Reasonable Use Rule.”
