2) If, in maintaining the provision of exit passage referred to in sub-section (1), it is possible to maintain such exit passage through the land of more than one person, the exit passage shall, unless provided otherwise, be maintained through the nearest land that is technically feasible for access to the diversion, reservoir, or dam through that passage.
