(1)Where it appears to the drainage board for any internal drainage district that, by reason—
(a)of the quantity of water which that district receives from lands at a higher level; or
(b)of the period that will elapse before that district obtains any relief from operations of the NRA on a main river,
it is fair that a contribution towards their expenses should be made by the NRA, they may make an application to the NRA for a contribution.
(2)On an application under subsection (1) above the NRA may resolve to make to the internal drainage board such contribution, if any, as may be specified in the resolution.

(5)On an appeal under this section the relevant Minister may, after considering any objections made to him and, if he thinks fit, holding a public local inquiry, make such an order in the matter as he thinks just.
