Sub-series consists of files dealing with various aspects of federal irrigation and reclamation administration including legislation and regulations, Canadian participation in the International Waterways Treaty, applications for the diversion of rivers and streams for irrigation purposes, water agreements with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, development of a classification for irrigated land, and the drainage of land for reclamation purposes. The files are organized in a straight numeric file system.

Source of title:

Title is based on the contents of the sub-series.

Arrangement note:

Although these records were possibly created by the Irrigation and Drainage Division or the Reclamation Division, the sub-series has been described by subject because of the difficulty of clearly establishing provenance. The filing arrangement of this sub-series was probably undertaken by one of the creator's successors.
