Note:
“Rivals, in the primary sense of the word, are those
who dwell on the banks of the same stream. But since,
as all experience shows, there is no such fruitful
source of coutention as a water right, it would
continually happen that these occupants of the opposite
banks would be at strife with one another in regard of
the periods during which they severally had a right to
the use of the stream . . . And thus 'rivals' . . .
came to be used of any who were on any grounds in more
or less unfriendly competition with one another.”
--Trench.
