Sec. 424d. Use of moneys collected from sales, project
construction charges and water rentals respecting unproductive
lands
In the absence of a contrary requirement in the contracts between
the United States and the water users organization or district assuming
liability for the payment of project construction charges, all sums
collected under sections 424 to 424e this title from the sale of lands,
from the payment of project construction charges on ``temporarily
unproductive'' or ``permanently unproductive'' lands so sold, and
(except as stated in this section) from water rentals, shall inure to
the Reclamation Fund as a credit to the construction charge payable on
May 16, 1930, by the water users under their present contracts, to the
extent of the additional expense, if any, incurred by such water users
in furnishing water to the unproductive area, while still in that
status, as approved by the Commissioner of Reclamation and the balance
as a credit to the sums heretofore written off in accordance with
sections 423 to 423g and 610 of this title. Where water rental
collections under sections 424 to 424e of this title are in excess of
the current operation and maintenance charges, the excess as determined
by the Secretary, shall, in the absence of such contrary contract
provision, inure to the Reclamation Fund as above provided, but in all
other cases the water rentals collected under sections 424 to 424e of
this title shall be turned over to or retained by the operating district
or association, where the project or part of the project from which the
water rentals were collected is being operated and maintained by an
irrigation district or water users association under contract with the
United States.
