§ 119-p. Projects relating to the use of atmospheric water resources.
Every municipal corporation is, and any two or more municipal
corporations are, hereby authorized and empowered to conduct or engage
in projects, experiments and other activities designed to develop the
use of atmospheric water resources, and to make scientific evaluations
of such projects, experiments and other activities, or to contract
therefor, and to appropriate and expend moneys therefor. In the case of
a joint project by two or more municipal corporations, the share of the
cost of such project or activity to be borne by each such municipal
corporation shall be fixed by contract. The expenditure of moneys for
such purpose by a municipal corporation shall be deemed a lawful
municipal purpose and the moneys appropriated therefor shall be raised
by tax upon the taxable real property within the municipal corporation
in the same manner as moneys for other lawful municipal purposes. Each
municipal corporation is hereby authorized to accept and disburse grants
of public or private money or other aid paid or made available by the
state or federal government for any such purpose.
