This law aims to maintain the Periyar irrigation system by ensuring tanks used for farming are kept in good working order. It applies to landholders who own estates containing these tanks and the government officials overseeing the district. The Collector has the authority to decide if repairs are necessary and to hold hearings where landholders can object to the proposed work or costs. The Act ensures that repairs are carried out efficiently while clarifying who is responsible for paying for the maintenance, balancing the needs of farmers with the requirements of the irrigation system.
