districts shall also be so construed and enforced as to apply to

22098. Whenever it appears necessary to drain any land within a
district on account of the irrigation which has been done or which is

irrigation, its board, if it is reasonable from an economic
standpoint that the drainage be provided, shall provide for the
drainage.

22099. No drainage need be provided for land as to which the
district is relieved from liability for seepage or flooding by reason
