Explanation of Article 716
The article clarifies the ruling when the right of irrigation is jointly owned among several partners, whether the water source is a stream, a well, or otherwise. None of the partners is allowed to divert another stream from it, nor is any partner permitted to install a device, such as a pump or a water extraction tool, for their land or to expand their area, except with the consent of the remaining partners.
