When you purchase a piece of real estate you also acquire the rights associated with quiet enjoyment of the property. These rights may include riparian, littoral, mineral, oil, air, water, and other named rights. Each of these rights may be restricted, reserved, leased, or sold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riparian_water_rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littoral_rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_rights If you want an unobstructed view of a river or lake, you had better own the shoreline, otherwise someone might erect a billboard, windmill, oil well, etc. to obstruct your view.
