Article 215Removal of Impediments to Water Streams

第二百十五条(水流の障害の除去)

If a stream is blocked at low-lying ground due to a natural disaster or other unavoidable accident, an owner of a higher land may carry out construction work necessary to remove the impediment to the stream at that owner's own expense.

水流が天災その他避けることのできない事変により低地において閉塞したときは、高地の所有者は、自己の費用で、水流の障害を除去するため必要な工事をすることができる。
