control of a water resource board.
All dams, dikes, and other water conservation and flood control works or devices
constructed within any district, unless specifically exempted, are under the jurisdiction of the
water resource board for the district within which the dam, dike, works, or device exists or is to
be constructed. The district's jurisdiction over the dam, dike, works, or device does not affect the
commission's or department's authority relative to the dam, dike, works, or device. No changes
or modification of any existing dams, dikes, or other works or devices may be made without
complying fully with the provisions of this chapter.
