A lower court's decision to hold a landowner liable for damage caused by seepage from an irrigation canal on their property was upheld by the high court, based on the reasoning that the landowner, having the benefit and use of the watercourse, was responsible for maintaining it in a condition that prevented damage to neighboring properties, irrespective of fault or the age of the structure, as the obligation to ensure the safety of the channel for adjacent land was a direct consequence of possessing the right to use the water.
