For the purpose of draining and reclaiming the undrained or partially drained marsh, swamp, and overflowed lands in Louisiana that must be leveed and pumped in order to be drained and reclaimed, the various parishes on their own initiative, may create drainage districts embracing all or part of the land in their parishes. All of the land in any drainage district shall be contiguous. No drainage district created under this Part shall contain within its limits less than five landowners, resident or non-resident, and no land shall be included within more than one drainage district.
