  119-p. Projects relating to the use of atmospheric water resources.
  Every  municipal  corporation  is,  and  any  two  or   more   municipal
  corporations  are,  hereby authorized and empowered to conduct or engage
  in projects, experiments and other activities designed  to  develop  the
  use  of  atmospheric water resources, and to make scientific evaluations
  of such projects, experiments  and  other  activities,  or  to  contract
  therefor,  and to appropriate and expend moneys therefor. In the case of
  a joint project by two or more municipal corporations, the share of  the
  cost  of  such  project  or  activity to be borne by each such municipal
  corporation shall be fixed by contract. The expenditure  of  moneys  for
  such  purpose  by  a  municipal  corporation  shall  be  deemed a lawful
  municipal purpose and the moneys appropriated therefor shall  be  raised
  by  tax  upon the taxable real property within the municipal corporation
  in the same manner as moneys for other lawful municipal  purposes.  Each
  municipal corporation is hereby authorized to accept and disburse grants
  of  public  or  private money or other aid paid or made available by the
  state or federal government for any such purpose.
