It is therefore in order that the legislature declare that its policy is not that the state interstate stream commission should construct or repair irrigation works now owned or which will revert to private individuals or corporations, under the powers granted by this amendment, unless the individuals or stockholders of such corporations are also all owners of land under the irrigation works and users of water supplied by it for agricultural or domestic uses, and the works will result in a substantial conservation of water.
