The legal definition of Riparian Rights is Special rights of people who own land that runs into a water bank (a riparian owner is a person who owns land that runs into a river). The bundle of rights of people who own land that runs into a body of water such as a stream, river or lake or ocean (a riparian owner is a person who owns land that runs into a river).
