Central Water Authority (Census of Water Rights) Regulations 2013 (GN No. 106 of 2013).

These Regulations, made by the Central Water Board under section 49 of the Central Water Authority Act, make provision with respect to a census of water rights, i.e. the right to draw water from any river, stream, canal or spring, under Part I or II of the Rivers and Canals Act. Every person who has or claims to have a water right shall fill in the form set out in the Schedule and submit it, together with copies of all documents specified in the form, to the Central Water Authority. An officer may, for the purpose of verifying any information submitted, enter any property in relation to which a water right is being asserted, in order to carry out a physical inspection of any abstraction, use and discharge of water. No person shall knowingly submit to the Authority any information or document which is incorrect, false or misleading.
