§ 604. Ownership does not authorize diversion of water

The private ownership of channels of streams of pluvial waters does not carry with it authority to do or construct any works which may cause a deviation of the water from its natural course, to the prejudice of a third person, or whose destruction by the force of the flow may cause damage to estates, factories, or establishments, bridges, roads, or towns situated farther downstream.
