The Ohio water development authority may acquire by purchase, whenever it deems such purchase expedient, any land, property, rights, rights-of-way, franchises, easements, and other interests in lands as it deems are necessary or convenient for the construction and operation of any water development project, upon such terms and at such price as it considers reasonable and can be agreed upon between the authority and the owner thereof, and take title thereto in the name of the state.
