In case any street, road, highway, railroad, canal or other property subject or devoted

to public use shall become subject to flood or other interference by reason of the

construction or proposed construction of any works of the district, the board may

acquire by agreement or condemnation the right so to flood or otherwise interfere

owned. If such right is acquired by condemnation proceedings, the judgment may, if the court

finds that public necessity or convenience so requires, direct the district to relocate

plans prescribed by the court. If, by such judgment or agreement, the district shall be required to relocate any

such street, road, highway, railroad, canal or other property subject or devoted to

public use, the board shall have the power to acquire in the name of the district,

by agreement or condemnation, all rights-of-way and other property necessary or proper

for compliance with the agreement or judgment of condemnation, and thereafter to make

such conveyance of such relocated street, road, highway, railroad, canal or other

property as may be proper to comply with the agreement or judgment.
