Abstract
This paper will discuss the current state
of riparian rights in Georgia, particularly in the
irrigation context. There will be a discussion of the
history of the riparian doctrine, including its origins
and application in Georgia. The paper will then discuss
fully the Pyle v. Gilbert decision, exploring the
extensions that the Georgia Supreme Court has made in
Georgia's riparian law. This will lead to a conclusion
that the dramatic alterations in the riparian doctrine
may have frustrated its original purposes.
