n

Definition: negligence
Antonyms: fulfillment

“a recession of the waters of the sea, a navigable river, or other stream, by which land that was before covered with water is left dry.” 260 S.W. 2d 257, 259. “In such case, if the alteration takes place suddenly and sensibly, the ownership remains according to former bounds; but if it is made gradually and imperceptibly, the derelict or dry land belongs to the riparian owner from whose shore or bank the water has so receded.” Id. The term may also refer to the land itself which is thus left uncovered. 188 S.W. 2d 550.
In order for contiguous landowners to gain ownership of the newly uncovered land, the withdrawal of the water must appear permanent, and not merely seasonal.
156 N.W. 591, 593. Compare accretion, avulsion.
