in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Land the government acquired for certain purposes, but doesn't actually need, can be leased out at a fair rent while the U.S. still controls it. Any extra water supply on that land can also be sold at reasonable rates.

Following rules the Secretary of Agriculture sets, if the government got land by lease, deed, or other agreement under sections 171 to 173 of this title, and part of that land isn't needed or suitable for those sections' purposes, that part may be leased or subleased at a reasonable rent, for as long as the United States has the right to possess it. Any extra water supplies the United States controls on that land can also be sold at reasonable rates.
