Stream

StreamA current of water. The right to a water course is not a right in the fluid itself so much as a right in the current of the stream.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Current
Merchant law. A term used to express present time
Water
1) That liquid substance of which the sea, the rivers, and creeks are composed. 2) A pool of water, or a stream or water course, is considered as part of the land, hence a pool of twenty acres, would pass by the grant of twenty acres of land, without mentioning the water. 3) Like land, water is distinguishable into different parts, as the sea, rivers, docks, canals, ponds and sewers, and to these may be added at water course
Right
1) Sometimes it signifies a law, as when we say that natural right requires us to keep our promises, or that it commands restitution, or that it forbids murder. In our language it is seldom used in this sense. 2) It sometimes means that quality in our actions by which they are denominated just ones. This is usually denominated rectitude. 3) It is that quality in a person by which he can do certain actions, or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of some title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his estate or a right to defend himself.
