Acts/Rules/Regulation
1. Northern India Canal and Drainage Act, 1873. this Central Act and the Rules made there-under provide for the regulation of irrigation, navigation and drainage in the State for public purposes. They deal with the procedure for construction and maintenance of works, canal navigation, drainage and supply of water and rates thereof. While additional irrigation potential was being created gradually with the completion of the Five Year Plan, it was experienced that the potential, so created, was not being utilized by cultivators fully. One of the reasons for this lag in utilization of potential was the reluctance of cultivators to construct water-courses for conveying water from the State irrigation works to their fields. Construction of these water-courses was the responsibility of the cultivators and not of the State Irrigation Department. As the main Act had no provision under which cultivators could be forced or pursued to take up their construction in time, the Government took powers under the Northern India Canal and Drainage (U.P. Amendment) Act, 1963, to undertake construction of water courses on behalfof cultivators on failure of the Gaon Sabhas to do so themselves and to recover the cost from the beneficiaries in instalments.
