The Drainage Act

The Drainage Act is a law that facilitates the management and improvement of agricultural land drainage systems. It provides a framework for municipalities and landowners to create, maintain, and finance drainage projects, helping to manage excess water and prevent flooding. The Act establishes procedures for assessments, funding, and the responsibilities of stakeholders to ensure that farmland remains productive and that water flows efficiently. By addressing drainage issues, the Act supports sustainable agriculture and protects ecosystems while balancing the interests of those affected by drainage management practices.
