The Bombay Irrigation (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1973

Infrastructure197344 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Irrigation Act of 1879 to update water management rules in Gujarat. It allows the state government to use underground water for canals and expands the definition of "Agency" to include co-operative societies and water users' associations. The legislation also increases penalties for various offenses, raising fines from one hundred to five hundred rupees in most cases and to one thousand rupees in others. These changes empower local bodies and water user groups while ensuring stricter enforcement of water usage regulations to support agricultural and drainage needs.
