Abstract

The Act provides for the procedures of the application for rights relative to constructions in watercourses or related to watercourses as foreseen in the Water Act (sect. 1). This Act regulates the exchange of real property, the transfer or the redistribution of property, or the transfer of servitude. The owner of the real property may apply for the redistribution of land which results desirable following the carrying out of a water project which may include drainage projects. Sections 3 to 9 concern the redistribution of land or water areas. Section 9 provides for the removal or transfer of a servitude. Procedures for actions pursuant to this Act shall be in accordance with provisions of the Land Redistribution Act and those outlined in section 3. The Act shall apply also to common properties.
