Such right-of-way shall extend only to a
ditch, dike, cutting, pipeline, or other structure sufficient for the purpose required.
Unless inconsistent with the terms upon which the right-of-way was created, and
not to be construed as a limit on any other rights in a ditch or ditch right-of-way that
have been created or arisen by law, a ditch right-of-way includes the right to
construct, operate, clean, maintain, repair, and replace the ditch and appurtenant
structures, to improve the efficiency of the ditch, including by lining or piping the
ditch, and to enter onto the burdened property for such purposes, with access to
