§ 22076 District Water Use Authority

• •A water district can use the water it controls in any helpful way.
• •The district can do anything needed to make good use of the water.
• •This rule was added a long time ago (1943) to help manage water better.

A town has a lot of water in its rivers but not enough in its farms.

The water district can build pipes to move water from the river to the farms so crops can grow better.
