Relevance to property owners and buyers
G.O. (Ms.) No. 80 does not identify individual properties, landowners or survey numbers. It creates a technical review process for proposed water resources works. A buyer or owner near an IAMWARM sub-basin, river, canal, tank, anicut, culvert or supply channel may wish to check whether a reviewed scheme later proceeds, but the document itself records only the committee and its assessment duties.
