Editorial Review
D.
DAM. A construction of wood, stone, or other materials, made across a stream
of water for the purpose of confining it; a mole.
2. The owner of a stream not navigable, may erect a dam across it, and
employ the water in any reasonable manner, either for his use or pleasure,
so as not to destroy or render useless, materially diminish, or affect the
application of the water by the proprietors below on the stream. He must not
shut the gates of his dams and detain the water unreasonably, nor let it off
in unusual quantities to the annoyance of his neighbors. 4 Dall. 211; 3

another, neither, without the consent of the other, can build a dam which
extends beyond the filum aqua, thread of the river, without committing a
trespass. Cro. Eliz. 269; 12 Mass. 211; Ang. on W. C. 14, 104, 141; vide
