Summary/Abstract: Modern legal systems differentiate between subjects of law/persons and objects of law/things, the latter including bodies of water. The category of things make legal sense only if on can exercise "subjective law" over them: such a hypothesis discusses "economic assets". Things that cannot be appropriated have, generally speaking, no relevance in law. State-owned property is divided into that which can be disposed of and the state-owned property that cannot be disposed of. The former can be privately owned, whereas the latter cannot. Categories of state-owned property that particularly stand out are maritime property (shores, beaches, ports etc.) and state-owned waters (rivers, torrential rivers,lakes,ground-water- if this is in the public interest, etc). State-owned property that cannot be disposed of includes mineral and thermal waters, whereas the "internal" ones fall into the category of private property.
