These Regulations, made by the Central Water Board under section 49 of the Central Water Authority Act, make provision with respect to a census of water rights, i.e. the right to draw water from any river, stream, canal or spring, under Part I or II of the Rivers and Canals Act. Every person who has or claims to have a water right shall fill in the form set out in the Schedule and submit it, together with copies of all documents specified in the form, to the Central Water Authority. No person shall knowingly submit to the Authority any information or document which is incorrect, false or misleading in any material particular. An officer may, for the purpose of verifying any information submitted, carry out inspection of any abstraction, use and discharge of water.
