Abstract

This Chapter of the North Dakota Century Code concerns water project development. It provides that "water project" means any project for conserving, draining, and distributing water, including reservoirs, dams, diversion canals, distribution canals, channels, ditches, lateral ditches, drains, dikes, and pumping units, constructed for the purpose of irrigation, watering stock, or supplying water for domestic, agricultural, recreational, fish and wildlife use, flood control, drainage, water conservation and regulation, storage, diversion, or carrying of water. Further, it provides that a water project and the cost of works must be approved by the commission before a loan to finance the cost of works is eligible to be made by a lender with the proceeds of a loan from the industrial commission. An application for approval must be in writing in a form prescribed by the commission.
