Riparian land is the area along the banks of rivers, lakes, or oceans reserved for environmental protection and proper water flow. This reserved area is crucial for landowners and investors, particularly when buying or developing land near water bodies. It is intended to protect the investments from flooding and the natural environment around the water bodies. Much attention has been paid to riparian spaces due to demolitions in areas like Nairobi, where authorities have removed properties built on riparian zones for violating environmental laws.
