The water district shall by the order be empowered to enter into contracts of assurances with the United States of America for the storage, procurement, or removal of the water from the reservoir or other such water source. The order establishing the water district shall have all the force and effect of a judgment. Any person aggrieved by the entry of the order by the court may appeal, as in other cases of appeal, to the Supreme Court, from the order within thirty (30) days after the order has been made. If no appeal is taken within that time, the order authorizing and creating the water district shall be deemed conclusive, and any person residing or owning land in the district may in like manner and time appeal from any order refusing to establish the water district.
