The Irrigation Act

The Irrigation Act is a legislative framework that governs the use and management of water resources for agricultural irrigation. It establishes guidelines for water distribution, rights, and the maintenance of irrigation infrastructure to support farmers and promote efficient water use. The Act aims to ensure sustainable agricultural practices, protect ecosystems, and address water scarcity issues. It often includes provisions for licensing, regulation of water use, and incentives for conservation. By providing a structured approach to irrigation, the Act helps enhance food production and rural development while balancing environmental concerns.
