§ 22096 Irrigation And Drainage Districts

• •Laws about watering land (irrigation) also apply to removing extra water (drainage).
• •If there's a rule for irrigation groups, the same rule works for drainage groups.
• •This makes sure both watering and draining land follow the same rules.

A group of farmers work together to water their fields. There’s a law that says they must share the cost of the water pipes fairly.

This same law means if the farmers also need to work together to drain extra water from their fields, they must share the cost of the drainage pipes fairly too.
