What are the rights of a landowner to a river bordering her property known as?

  1. Littoral rights

  2. Riparian rights

  3. Mineral rights

  4. Air rights

The correct answer is: Riparian rights

These options are all types of rights that a landowner can hold over their property in addition to their general land rights. "Littoral rights" are the rights to ownership of a body of water, such as a lake or ocean. "Mineral rights" are the rights to any valuable resources found beneath the surface of a property. "Air rights" are the rights to own and use the space above a property. However, in this question, we are specifically asked about a river bordering a landowner's property. Therefore, the most applicable answer is "riparian rights," which refer to the rights a landowner has to use and access the water in a river on or bordering their land. These rights include activities such as fishing, boating, and drawing water for personal use.
