"Riparian" means pertaining to the bank and other adjacent terrestrial (as opposed to aquatic) environs or freshwater bodies, watercourses, estuaries, and surface-emergent aquifers (springs, seeps, oases), whose transported freshwaters provide soil moisture sufficiently in excess of that otherwise available through local precipitation to potentially support growth of mesic vegetation.
