How does one privately own a river?? I understand the argument with Jumping pound as I believe that mineral rights play a role and it is dependent on how long the land has been owned and if they in fact have mineral rights. But I do not see how a river in Alberta can be privately owned as you allude to.
This topic has been around longer than I have been alive and people will agree to disagree. For me bottom line gain permission to the land the body of water flows through. No issues then.
