Land and Water Rights

Land and water rights refer to legal permissions and ownership over the use and access to resources on land and in water bodies. Land rights determine who owns, manages, or can use land properties, including rights like farming, building, or mining. Water rights specify the legal authority to use water from rivers, lakes, or aquifers for purposes such as agriculture, industry, or household use. These rights can be individual, governmental, or shared, and may involve restrictions or obligations. Proper management of land and water rights ensures fair access, sustainable use, and protection of resources for current and future needs.
