This law says how construction charges are set for irrigated land on a reclamation project. The per-acre charge is meant to pay back the reclamation fund for the project's construction cost, and must be divided among landowners fairly.

For land irrigated by a federal irrigation project — whether it's land under a homestead-style "entry" or land privately owned — the government sets a per-acre construction charge. The charge is calculated so that, added up across all the land, it pays back the reclamation fund for what the project cost to build. The total cost must be apportioned equitably among the different tracts of land.

The construction charges which shall be made per acre upon the entries and upon lands in private ownership which may be irrigated by the waters of any irrigation project shall be determined with a view of returning to the reclamation fund the estimated cost of construction of the project, and shall be apportioned equitably.
