A water resource board shall have the right, power, and authority to enter into contracts or
other arrangements for water conservation, water supply, flood control, or other authorized

projects with the United States government or any department thereof, with the Canadian
government or any department thereof or any of its provinces or municipalities, with persons,
railroads, other corporations, or limited liability companies, with public corporations, and state
governments of this or other states, with drainage, water resource, conservation, conservancy,
or improvement districts, or other such districts in this or other states. Such contracts or
arrangements can provide for cooperation or assistance in planning, constructing, maintaining,
and operating such projects and in making investigations and reports thereon, and for the
carrying out of any other provision of this chapter. A water resource board may purchase, lease,
or acquire land or other property in adjoining states or provinces to secure outlets to construct
and maintain dikes or dams, or for other purposes authorized by this chapter and may let
contracts or spend money for securing such outlets or works in adjoining states or provinces. No
water resource board of any district shall have the right, power, or authority to connect boundary
waters having different natural outlets by artificial means so that the waters of one may be
discharged into the other.
