Legislation (national and Buenos Aires) on riverbanks and related wetlands

Abstract

The work begins with a description of the criteria specific to the law that influenced the logic of its regulations in relation to the goods of nature in general and water in particular and that explain how, even today, the domain categories influence, interfere and hinder the adoption of an ecosystem conception. The water domain regime and the criteria adopted for the definition of the riverbanks are synthesized, considering the novelties introduced with the Civil and Commercial Code in 2015 and how those regulations continue in the Water Code of the Province of Buenos Aires and other derived rules.
