However, as a river gradually changes through accretion, the boundary changes with it. To prove that a change was avulsion and not accretion, it is sufficient, at least under Oklahoma law, for the owner of land that was washed away to point out approximately as much land added to the opposite bank as washed away from his bank.

Accession might also be (from Latin accedere, to go to, approach), in law, a method of acquiring property adopted from Roman law (see: accessio), by which, in things that have a close connection with or dependence on one another, the property of the principal draws after it the property of the accessory, according to the principle, accessio cedet principali.
Alluvion, is a Roman law method of acquisition of heritable property (land). The typical cause is sediment deposited by a river.This sediment, legally termed the accessory, accreses (i.e., merges with) a piece of land, the principal (operating a subtype of the Roman mode of acquisition by accession) and thus accedes to the ownership of the principal land over time.
A sustainable beach or foreshore often goes through a cycle of submersion during rough weather and later accretion during calmer periods. [1] If a coastline is not in a healthy sustainable state, erosion can be more serious, and accretion does not fully restore the original volume of the visible beach or foreshore, which leads to permanent ...
An example of an erosional avulsion is the 2006 avulsion of the Suncook River in New Hampshire, in which heavy rains caused flow levels to rise. The river level backed up behind an old mill dam, which produced a shallowly-sloping pool that overtopped a sand and gravel quarry, connected with a downstream section of channel, and cut a new shorter ...
Avulsion (river) – Rapid abandonment of a river channel and formation of a new channel; Progradation – Growth of a river delta into the sea over time; Sedimentary basin – Regions of long-term subsidence creating space for infilling by sediments
Alluvial river in Austria. An alluvial river is one in which the bed and banks are made up of mobile sediment and/or soil.Alluvial rivers are self-formed, meaning that their channels are shaped by the magnitude and frequency of the floods that they experience, and the ability of these floods to erode, deposit, and transport sediment.
Accession (Latin accessio) is a method of original acquisition of property under Scots property law. It operates to allow property (the accessory) to merge with (or accede to) another object (the principal), either moveable or heritable. [1] Accession derives from the Roman-law concept of the same name. Other jurisdictions employ similar rules.
