543.560  Acquisition of right to flood or interfere with property; relocation of streets, highways and other property.  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 with such property within or without the district, whether it be publicly or privately 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 such street, road, highway, railroad, canal or other property in accordance with the 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.
