(c) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the discharge of center pivot irrigation waters onto an interstate or state highway resulted from winds of such intensity that no mechanical device that is intended to prevent spray from reaching the roadway could have prevented the spraying or that the discharge resulted from excessive rainfall that contributed to flooding of the roadway.
