maintenance and improvement of irrigation works, may be adjusted from year to
year in such manner that the adjusted benefits are in the same proportion to

assessed valuation of such tract of land.
(2) Adjusted
benefits shall be made the basis for apportioning the maintenance and operation

determined to be accruing to lands upon the construction of irrigation works
shall not be adjusted in any manner.
