When a stream that is a boundary suddenly abandons its bed and seeks a new bed, the boundary line does not change. It remains in the center of the original bed even if water no longer flows through it. This is known as the rule of avulsion. Avulsion is not the same as accretion or alluvion, the gradual and imperceptible buildup of land by the continuous activity of the sea, a river, or by other natural causes. avulsionn. the change in the border of two properties due to a sudden change in the natural course of a stream or river, when the border is defined by the channel of the waterway. The most famous American case is the Mississippi River's change which put Vicksburg on the other side of the river. AVULSION. Where, by the immediate and manifest power of a river or stream,the soil is taken suddenly from one man's estate and carried to another. Insuch case the property belongs to the first owner. An acquiescence on hispart, however, will in time entitle the owner of the land to which it isattached to claim it as his own. Bract. 221; Harg. Tracts, De jure maris,&c. Toull. Dr. Civ. Fr. tom. 3, p. 106; 2. Bl. Com. 262; Schultes on Aq.Rights, 115 to 138. Avulsion differs from alluvion (q.v.) in this, that inthe latter case the change of the soil is gradual and imperceptible. avulsionenUK
AvulsionIn law, a situation in which the amount of land on a property increases or decreases due to a sudden (not a gradual) action of water. For example, a flood changing the course of a river may result in avulsion. Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in which it occurs, an avulsion may or may not change property lines or even government borders.avulsionA sudden and perceptible loss or addition to property as a result of the action of water either taking soil from one property and leaving it on another,or by virtue of a river or other running water changing the course of its bed.The rule is that boundary lines described with reference to the midpoint of the stream will remain at the midpoint of the old stream, and not the midpoint of the new stream. This is because of the sudden nature of the change, so that people may reasonably notice and mark the location of the old stream bed as a matter of reference. avulsionenUK Related to avulsion: avulsion fracture, nail avulsionWords related to avulsionnoun an abrupt change in the course of a stream that forms the boundary between two parcels of land resulting in the loss of part of the land of one landowner and a consequent increase in the land of anotherRelated Words- alteration
