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 in property law is a mode of acquiring property that involves the addition of value to the property through labour or the addition of new materials. For example, a person who owns a property on a river delta also takes ownership of any additional land that builds up along the riverbank due to natural deposits or man-made deposits.
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.
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.
Diagram of accretion and erosion of sediments in a coastal system. Black arrows indicate accretion, and white arrows indicate erosion. Sedimentary budgets are a coastal management tool used to analyze and describe the different sediment inputs (sources) and outputs (sinks) on the coasts, which is used to predict morphological change in any particular coastline over time.
An example of a minor avulsion is known as a meander cutoff, when a pronounced meander (hook) in a river is breached by a flow that connects the two closest parts of the hook to form a new channel. This occurs when the ratio between the channel slope and the potential slope after an avulsion is less than about 1/5. [1]
River channel migration is the geomorphological process that involves the lateral migration of an alluvial river channel across its floodplain.This process is mainly driven by the combination of bank erosion of and point bar deposition over time.
Accretion is the process of coastal sediment returning to the visible portion of a beach or foreshore after a submersion event. [1] A sustainable beach or foreshore often goes through a cycle of submersion during rough weather and later accretion during calmer periods. [1]
