Where is the Whanganui River, which received the legal status of a person in 2017 located?

So if heavy rain causes the river to flood, can it be held liable for property damage? The mind boggles when you stop to think how deep that rabbit hole could go. I suppose the lawyers are wringing their hands.

if someone drowns in the river is the river then charged with murder and how do they imprison said river

The landscape in question is screaming New Zealand

A river in Canada has similar rights, achieved by local natives. Impressive and worthwhile legal maneuver!

Confusing a little I just guessed.

gobledygook, no, that would fall under our government run insurance scheme for natural disasters called EQC - the Earthquake Commission. Obviously doesn't just include earthquakes.

Donald J, Exactly… that’s how I managed to get the correct answer!!!!!
