Prescription for easements: long peaceful, open, and uninterrupted enjoyment establishes an absolute, indefeasible right. An easement becomes absolute and indefeasible when access to light or air, a way, watercourse, use of water, or other easement has been peaceably and openly enjoyed as of right and without interruption for the prescribed period, each period being taken to end within two years before the suit which contests the claim; longer periods apply where the servient property is government-owned, and interruption requires actual discontinuance by another's act followed by claimant's submission or acquiescence after notice.
