4.4 Water rights

Water right is the legal permission to use the water, or water laws and rights pertain to the water use by water user from different water sources, i.e. canal, floods, tube well, etc. The main aim of the water rights is to avoid the conflicts on water usage and its equal distribution, avoid the wastage, etc. Under spate irrigation there are different rules for flood water and perennial water. As the flood water has huge quantity of water, so usually distribution in quantitative term is difficult, but in the case of perennial irrigation, the distribution is quantitative. Prior to mechanical intervention, the rules in spate irrigation were strictly followed, and the government supervision was also firm.
