. If at any time it appears to the board, after a hearing of
the persons interested and an investigation, that the full capacity
of the works built or constructed, or being built or constructed,
under an appropriation of water made pursuant to the Water Commission
Act or this code has not developed or cannot develop the full
capacity of the stream at the point where the works have been or are
being built or constructed, and that the holder of the appropriation
will not or cannot, within a period deemed to be reasonable by the
board, develop the stream at that point to such capacity as the board
deems to be required by the public good, the board may permit the
joint occupancy and use, with the holder of the appropriation, to the
extent necessary to develop the stream to its full capacity or to
such portion of its capacity as may appear to the board to be
advisable, by any persons applying therefor, of any such works.
