By regulating these aspects, the Act aims to prevent waterlogging and salinity, ensure optimal water usage for multiple cropping, and consolidate land holdings. Ultimately, it seeks to boost agricultural productivity and the overall economic well-being of farmers in the command areas by coordinating infrastructure and water resources.
