SECTION 22095-22099
22095. A district may provide for any and all drainage made necessary by the irrigation provided for by the district. 22096. All laws respecting irrigation by districts or respecting districts shall also be so construed and enforced as to apply to drainage. 22097. The officers, agents, and employees of districts have the same powers, duties, and liabilities respecting drainage and construction, operation, and control relating to it as they have respecting irrigation. 22098. Whenever it appears necessary to drain any land within a district on account of the irrigation which has been done or which is intended to be done by the district under laws relating to it, whether for the purpose of more beneficially carrying on the irrigation or to protect the district from liability by reason of the irrigation, its board, if it is reasonable from an economic standpoint that the drainage be provided, shall provide for the drainage. 22099. No drainage need be provided for land as to which the district is relieved from liability for seepage or flooding by reason of grant, waiver, prescription, statute, decree, or condemnation.
