Your right they own shares. I do part time work for the marsh valley canal company and have read up on there water regulations. And what it says is during a hardship for water the ditch/canal companys are able to take any amount of water needed to ensure healthy crops. Even if that means totally closing of the water flow of a River to divert it into their canals. And I live around thousands of acres of farm land some of which they water for weeks strait. Crops need sufficiant aamount of water to sprout and grow but after they reach a certain growth they only require 25 percent of sprouting requirements. I grew up around farmers and ive learned a few things living around them my whole life and working for them. Working for the canal company has helped also..
