(b) The fact that the district contains 160 acres or more of wet, overflowed or submerged lands shall be sufficient cause for declaring the public utility of the improvements, and shall be sufficient grounds for declaring the organization a public corporation of this state. If any owner of real estate satisfies the court that the owner's real estate, or any part thereof, has been wrongfully included in the district, and will not be benefited thereby, then the court may exclude such real estate as will not be benefited and declare the remainder a district.
