Explanation of Article 659
The article stipulates that a public river or public lake cannot be owned by appropriation; rather, it is public property for the general public, unless the public river or public lake dries up; in which case its ownership transfers to the owners of the land adjacent to it on both sides; the river is then divided between the landowners into two equal parts, unless there is another regulation that dictates otherwise; in which case it shall be applied.
