Note : "
Rivals ,
in the primary sense of the word ,
are those who dwell on the banks of the same stream .
But since ,
as all experience shows ,
there is no such fruitful source of coutention as a water right ,
it would continually happen that these occupants of the opposite banks would be at strife with one another in regard of the periods during which they severally had a right to the use of the stream . . .
And thus '
rivals ' . . .
came to be used of any who were on any grounds in more or less unfriendly competition with one another ."
--
Trench .
