“In Warner v. Clarke, 232 So.2d 99, 102 (La.App. 2 Cir.), writ denied, 255 La. 918 , 233 So.2d 565 (1970) that court stated: Our courts have repeatedly held that the riparian servitudes are not subject to a broad and liberal construction, as contended by the plaintiffs, but exist "only for that which is incident to the nature and the navigable character of the stream washing the land of such proprietor." Herbert [Hebert] v. T.L. James & Company, Inc. et al., 224 La. 498 , 70 So.2d 102, 106 (1953), quoting from Carollton [Carrollton] R. Company v. Winthrop, 5 La.Ann. 36 (1850); Lake Providence Port Commission v. Bunge Corporation , [(]La. App. [2 Cir. 11/29/66) ], 193 So.2d 363 . Thus, construing the above law, riparian servitudes, being in derogation of private property rights, must be strictly construed in accordance with the law and not given a broad, liberal interpretation. Warner, 232 So.2d 99 .”
