Answer:

a. is entitled to have the water body maintained in its natural state by other owners.

Explanation:

The Riparian law is usually applied the eastern states of the United States to determine who is legally allowed to use water.

Riparian law states that the owner of a property adjacent to a body of water has the right to use it.

The concept of natural flow states that each Riparian land owner can use water for domestic use and no more. If a owner uses it for other purposes, other Riparian owners can take legal action against them.

Each riparian land owner is supposed to use what they need for domestic purpose so that natural flow is maintained for other riparian users.
