Description: Much of the original poorly drained upland soil in Ontario has been artificially drained, and in areas where high-valued crops can be grown be cause of favourable climatic conditions, additional land is difficult to obtain. A solution to the preblem is the complete reclamation of some areas, and the improvement of other areas, by pump drainage where high watertables or frequent flooding makes farming hazardous. The drainage of such land is provided for in the Municipal Drainage Act (R.S.O. 1960, c. 246), where a two-third majority of the land owners benefitted can initiate such a pumping and dyking scheme. Upon completion of a scheme, a Commissioner is appointed to man age it and annual by-laws are passed by the municipality for the raising of monies expended on its operation.
