GK NEWS NETWORK

Jammu, May 25: The Government is working on a draft for enactment of J&K State Water Resource Regulatory Act to regulate use of water resources and their preservation through a prospective planning.
 The regulatory Act proposed to ensure judicious use of water resources would also encompass aspects related to their conservation and remunerative management.
 This was stated by the Minister for PHE, Flood Control and Irrigation, Taj Mohi-u-Din at a meeting with technocrats convened to seek suggestions for the draft.
 He said the draft formulated by the department had tried to include every aspect, including      tariff from institutions using the water resources on commercial purpose, safety and designing of power projects, protection and embankment of canals and rivers. He said the proposed Act would add teeth to the laws preventing unauthorized use of water.
