7.2 Water, a Development Between Free Use and Appropriation

The legal nature of water is particularly fluid. Some will even say evanescent. Confining in precise legal rules such a moving natural resource proves to be particularly delicate. Indeed, it is difficult to think of a flowing resource contained by law predicated on static logic around land ownership.

As far as we go back in the past, they can be considered as commons (1) or private goods (2) with the intermediate category of res nullius.
