Well, the Turks would disagree with you about that... Yes, I'm gradually becoming aware of that situation. I know nothing of legal matters, but it's a simple fact of life nobody "owns" water. The only possible exception is some deep underground lake left over from the ice age or something. You can "own" oil and it is used up. Water is only borrowed though. Water and oil are very different liquids. I believe Syria and Iraq have a genuine dispute with Turkey on that point. If you deliberately change a water course, the countries downstream should be compensated. Or do you disagree with that view? :-) I see it as something like "the right of light". Your neighbour can't just come and take it away.
