Asked by Trish

Sam owns an acre of land on Red River. The government dams the river. A lake forms behind the dam, covering Sam's land. Does the government owe Sam anything? If yes why? If no why not?

I believe it comes under the law of eminent domain, so the government does need to pay Sam for the land.
