Pond water run off
We are zoned agriculture and have about a 1/3 acre pond. In the spring when we have significant rainfall in a short period of time and/or several days straight we may have some overflow of our pond. We do have rock down for drainage we did not change any flow of the land. Yes as with any property owner, when this happens some run off goes to the lowest point. In my case a new development and new neighbor. Their yard is low, was always low and was the low point when the house was built. They not only have some run off from our lot but from adjacent lots. Can someone direct me to what laws or cases exist concerning water run off to a neighbor's property. And, as with any property owner in heavy rain conditions, we also have standing water in areas of our property when it rains like this. The soil is clay in this community in Ohio. Thank you
