Explanation
Reliction (or dereliction) occurs when a body of water gradually recedes or withdraws, exposing new dry land. In Minnesota, where lake and river levels can change over time, the newly exposed land may become the property of the adjacent riparian landowner. This is particularly relevant for lakes experiencing long-term water level changes.
