The Parambikulam- Aliyar Project (Regulation of Water-Supply) Act, 1993
The Parambikulam-Aliyar Project (Regulation of Water-Supply) Act, 1993 establishes a legal framework for distributing canal irrigation water to agricultural lands in Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore and Periyar districts. It applies to landowners and farmers across specified drought-prone taluks. By dividing an expanded area of over 377,000 acres into four distinct zones, the law mandates a structured rotational schedule where each zone receives water periodically. This initiative overrides previous court orders and agreements to optimize limited water resources, boost agricultural productivity, and bring economic relief to historically arid regions by extending critical irrigation access to thousands of additional farmers.
