<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />England, the Crown held title to the beds and <br /> <br />waters in all navigable rivers, subject to the ius <br /> <br />publicum. See aenerallv MacGrady, The <br /> <br />Naviaabilitv Concept in the Civil and Common Law: <br /> <br />Historical Development, Current Importance, and <br /> <br />Some Doctrines that Don't Hold Water, 3 Fla. St. <br /> <br />U.L. Rev. 511 (1975). The United States, mostly <br /> <br />through Supreme Court opinions, then built upon <br /> <br />the Common Law and developed several rules <br /> <br />relating to major watercourses, as discussed <br /> <br />below. <br /> <br />2 . <br /> <br />Geoaraphical Reach of Watercourses Naviqable for <br />Title <br /> <br />The English Common Law test of navigability was <br /> <br />whether the water in question was affected by the <br /> <br />ebb and flow of the tide; all inland waters above <br /> <br />the influence of the tide were nonnavigable. See, <br /> <br />~, The Steamboat Thomas Jefferson, 23 U.S. (10 <br /> <br />Wheat.) 428 (1825). The American test is broader. <br />The Daniel Ball, 77 U.S. (10 Wall.) 557 (1870), <br /> <br />redefined navigable waters as any waters that are <br /> <br />Unavigable in fact.H The federal test that <br /> <br />defines those watercourses navigable for title <br /> <br />involves three main elements. First, navigability <br /> <br />for title is determined as of the date of <br /> <br />statehood. Second, the waterbody must be <br /> <br />susceptible to navigation for commerce in its <br /> <br />natural and ordinary condition at statehood. <br /> <br />3 <br />
