Do neighbours have any legal obligation to prevent surface water from entering another private property?

 

Our section is adjacent to a school. The school land is all slightly higher than ours. Quite a lot of water comes onto our property due to the shallow slope down onto our section.

 

There is a boundary fence between the two properties and it has a concrete nib along its base. However the nib is in most places at ground level and doesn't stop much water from coming over.

Not if that's the drainage regime that has always existed, it's called Natural Servitude. 

 

Different story if there's been recent work done on the neighbouring property and the amount or the concentration of runoff has changed.
