What Wikipedia says

A riparian zone or riparian area is the interface between land and a river or stream. In some regions, the terms riparian buffer zone, riparian corridor, and riparian strip are used to characterize a riparian zone. The word riparian is derived from Latin ripa, meaning "river bank".
