This section allows rights of way for approved ditches, canals, and reservoirs to be used for purposes that are public in nature. It also allows those rights of way to be used for purposes of water transportation, domestic purposes, or power development when those uses support the main purpose of irrigation or drainage.

Rights of way for ditches, canals, or reservoirs approved under sections 946 to 949 of this title, whether approved before or after this section, may be used for purposes that are public in nature. Those rights of way may also be used for purposes of water transportation, for domestic purposes, or for developing power, as subsidiary to the main purpose of irrigation or drainage.
