Landholding Law and Legal Definition
According to 43 USCS § 390bb [Title 43. Public Lands; Chapter 12. Reclamation And Irrigation Of Lands By Federal Government; Reclamation Reform], landholding means total irrigable acreage of one or more tracts of land situated in one or more districts owned or operated under a lease which is served with irrigation water pursuant to a contract with the Secretary.
