Modifies provisions of the reclamation law so as to provide: (1) an increase in the number of acres in one ownership eligible for interest free financing to 640 acres (now 160 acres) with provisions for further increase in the limitation every 10 years if economic or technological changes indicate that an increase is appropriate and consistent with the public interest; and (2) for the adoption of a formula which would provide that a landowner with lands in excess of the 640 acre limitation could obtain water for his excess-lands, but that in the determination of the price of the water to him, he could not be given the benefit of the interest-free provision of the reclamation law.
