In agricultural areas, what is the standard easement in meters for the banks of rivers used for public use?

Public access along rivers that are open for public use is protected by a standing easement that reserves a strip of land along the bank. In agricultural areas, this easement is 20 meters wide from the bank toward the inland. This width ensures the public can continue to access and use the river, while also allowing for government management and oversight of the riverbank. The other options would either be too narrow to guarantee practical public use or broader than the standard practice, so 20 meters best fits the established standard.
