Abstract:The purpose of this document is to inform landowners, highway authorities, and other interested par‐
ties about general legal principles related to drainage and drainage improvements. This may allow
them to recognize situations where their legal rights have been compromised or where their actions
may jeopardize the legal rights of others. The scope of this document is generally limited to Illinois
common and statutory drainage law. Some federal laws are discussed where they have a significant
impact on drainage issues in Illinois. Likewise, a small number of case precedents from outside of
Illinois are discussed where they may have an impact on drainage issues in Illinois. The scope of this
document also is generally limited to drainage topics that are related in some manner to highway
drainage, those that may impact highway drainage or design, or that fall under the regulatory
umbrella of the Illinois Department of Transportation.
