Abstract

The present Regulations implement the Irrigation Act, 2019. The text consists of 14 sections and regulate, among other things, over: prescribed allocation of water, prescribed persons, prescribed criteria for amalgamation, authorization of financial statements, adoption of amalgamation proposal by district consumers and prescribed criteria for amalgamation. For the purposes of the definition of “intensive irrigator” in section 1-2 of the Act, the prescribed allocation of water is an amount equal to or greater than 3 cubic decametres of water per hectare (1 acre-foot of water per acre). A prescribed person is a person other than an intensive irrigator who: receives a minimum allocation of 1.5 cubic decametres per hectare (6 inches per acre) of water; and irrigates a minimum of 4 hectares (10 acres) of land using a sprinkler irrigation system. An irrigation district may apply to the minister in a form and manner satisfactory to the minister for an exemption from the requirement to carry out an audit set out in section 2-16 of the Act, but to have its records, accounts and financial statements reviewed by an authorized person. Finally, the document also defines requirements for irrigation certificates.
