§ 6101.73.

Irrigation districts may be formed under this chapter by a substantial compliance

as near as possible with its provisions.  No irrigation district in its construction or operation shall, in any manner, interfere

with works for the prevention of floods or the drainage of lands or materially diminish

the works' protective value.  The court organizing the irrigation district shall require a statement in the petition

and proof to the effect that the organization and operation of the irrigation district

will not materially interfere with any works or plans for flood prevention or the

drainage or protection of lands.  No improvement under this chapter shall deprive the owners of lands lying upon any

stream of water of the ordinary flow in the stream without compensation. Subject to this section, the board of directors has the same powers as are conferred

generally by this chapter insofar as applicable. Assessments shall be levied and bonds issued as provided in this chapter, using the

words “Conservancy Assessments” or “Conservancy Bonds.”
