What do riperian rights provide to the owner of the shoreline?

Rights to build structures into the water
Rights to access the water, use the water, and have the water not obstructed or polluted
Exclusive fishing rights
Right to change the course of the water

The correct answer is: Rights to access the water, use the water, and have the water not obstructed or polluted

Riperian rights refer to the legal rights of landowners who own property along a river or other body of water. These rights typically provide the owner with access to the water, the right to use the water, and the right to prevent obstruction or pollution of the water. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the rights provided by riperian rights. Option A only addresses the right to build structures, option C only mentions fishing rights, and option D refers to the right to change the course of the water, which is not a guaranteed right under riperian laws. Option B, on the other hand, covers all aspects of riperian rights, making it the correct answer.
