An agreement between the Coachella Valley County Water District and the Secretary of the Interior provides: "After any major part of such irrigation distribution system and drainage works has been turned over to the District for care, operation and maintenance, the District shall deliver water to the lands within Improvement District No. 1 that are listed on Schedule A [the Indian lands] and that can be irrigated through such part of the system under the same conditions, rules, regulations, to the same extent, without discrimination, and for the same charges, including standby charges, as water is delivered by the District to other lands similarly located within the District. . . ."71 2. The agreement became effective upon the enactment of the Act of August 28, 1958. (72 Stat. 968) 3. There is no evidence that any major part of the extension of the irrigation system has been turned over to the District as provided in the agreement above cited. 4.
