Catalan term or phrase: marge vs ribera
2. ***Marge***: terreny que llinda amb una llera pública, subjecte a una zona de servitud i a una zona de policia.
3. ***Ribera***: franja lateral de la llera pública situada per sobre del nivell d’aigües baixes.


I cannot decide which terms to use. Perhaps 'river's edge' or 'riverside/river side' for 'marge' and 'river bank' for 'ribera'. The definitions above are the ones my English terms have to match.

The GDLC definitions don't really help me much - just confuse me more!
