I have a question about polution.
What if one person's provate property have a river in it.
But the river travels to another's as well.

Does the first person get to say, "It is in my land so I can polute as much as I want"?
Or does the second person say, "Your polution affects me so you can't do it"?

What about an even odder question?

What if the first person just wants to take a sip of water from the river in his property?
That also affects the destination person?

If I throw a soda can out of my car (my personal property) onto the private or public property on the ground around me, is that not littering?

You can pollute the river on your land all you want.

But if your river pollutes someone else's river, then you are violating their rights.
