Riparian Ownership
A ‘riparian owner‘ is somebody who has a watercourse running through, beneath or adjacent to their land. If the watercourse forms the boundary with your land, you will usually own up to the centre of the channel. If in doubt, you will need to check your title deeds to confirm exact ownership. This can be done via the land registry.
The responsibility of a riparian owner includes the safe maintenance of the bed and banks of a watercourse that falls within their property boundary.

The Severn Bore
The Severn bore is one of Britain’s truly spectacular natural phenomena.
It is a large surge wave that can be seen in the estuary of the River Severn, where the tidal range is the 2nd highest in the world, being as much as 50 feet (approx. 15.4m)
