This Act governs the management of irrigation systems in the state of Chhattisgarh. It establishes Farmers' Organisations, such as Water Users Associations, to manage water distribution and allocation within their specific areas. The legislation empowers these local groups to handle irrigation management tasks, including rehabilitation and charging users for water usage. By involving farmers directly in the administration of irrigation, the Act aims to improve water efficiency, ensure fair distribution, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the state's irrigation infrastructure for agricultural and other purposes.
