As to navigation and flood-control projects, there is no general express requirement. But when irrigation works are con- structed in connection with Army dam and reservoir projects under the authority of the 1944 Flood Control Act, certain costs allocations are made expressly necessary.521 Detailed requirements necessitating allocation of costs are specified for irrigation projects under the 1939 Reclamation Project Act.522 The same is true when the "preservation and propagation of fish and wildlife" is made a purpose of an irrigation project authorized under the foregoing 1939 Act.523 Specific recognition of the cost-allocation procedure appears also in the Bonneville Project Act, the Fort Peck Project Act, and the Tennessee Valley Authority Act.524 For projects gov- 518 See, e. g., Re Bonneville Project, Columbia River, Oregon-Washington, Allocation of Costs, Project No. IT 5955, 4 F.
