Section 3: Delineation of water users' area and territorial constituencies

(1) The Project Authority may, by notification delineate every command area under each of the irrigation systems on a hydraulic basis which may be administratively viable; and declare it to be a water users' area for the purpose of this Act:

Provided that in respect of the command area under the minor and lift irrigation systems, the entire command area may, as far as possible, form a single water users' area: Provided further that Project Authority shall not delineate any area under this section unless he is satisfied that the Irrigation System in that area is in satisfactory working condition.

(2) Every water user's area shall be divided into territorial constituencies which shall not be less than four but not more than ten, as may be prescribed.
