The board of directors of the drainage district may transfer or otherwise surrender to the board of directors of the agricultural improvement district the full and complete management, control, maintenance, use and operation of all or any such portions of the drainage works of the drainage district as the agricultural improvement district may require, and thereafter the agricultural improvement district shall have full power to manage, control, maintain, use, operate, extend, change, enlarge or improve the works in the same manner and to the extent it is authorized, empowered or permitted to control, maintain, manage, use, operate, extend, enlarge, change or improve any works owned or otherwise controlled by it, as its board of directors, its agents or representatives find necessary to accomplish any of the purposes of this chapter.
