The thalweg principle (also known as the thalweg doctrine or the rule of thalweg) is the legal principle that if the boundary between two political entities is stated to be a waterway without further description (e.g., a median line, right bank, eastern shore, low-tide line, etc.), the boundary follows the thalweg of that watercourse.
