1. Every property owner who wishes to irrigate their land from natural or artificial resources for which they have a right of disposal may obtain passage for water through the lands situated between it and their land, provided that advance compensation is paid and that the use of the intermediate landowner is not materially impaired. If the land suffers damage as a result, the landowner may claim compensation for the damage they have sustained. 2. The owner of the land shall permit the necessary installations for the right of watercourse to be established on their land for the benefit of adjacent land in return for compensation paid in advance. They may benefit from these installations, provided they bear a share of the expenses of their establishment and of the consideration for such use in proportion to the benefit they derive.
