Section 180(1)

Where any watercourses under the control of the appropriate agency pass under or interfere with, or with the improvement or alteration of, any river, canal, dock, harbour, basin or other work (including any towing-path adjacent thereto) which belongs to or is under the jurisdiction of any relevant authority, the relevant authority may, at their own expense and on substituting for those watercourses other equally effective watercourses— take up, divert or alter the level of those watercourses; and do all such matters and things as may be necessary in connection with the works authorised to be done by them under this section.
