ACCRETION

Accretion occurs when a riparian owner (the owner of a property next to a moving river or stream) or littoral owner (next to a body of water. . .such as a lake, pond, or ocean), acquires title to additional land by the gradual build up or accumulation of land deposited on the owners property by the shifting of the river or lake's action .

An owner may acquire property by accretion. Accretion is defined as an addition to land that results from a gradual build-up by natural causes.  The party who would benefit from this action would be the landowner.
