Water rate leviable when crop sanctioned is not planted or fails and another crop is grown.— When the sanctioned crop is not grown, or if fails, another crop may be sown, and if water is available, water shall be given to such second crop to the date upto which water would have been given to the crop sanctioned. No additional charge shall be levied if intimation has been given to the Canal-Officer in writing within eight days of planting the fresh crop and if the second crop is assessable at the same or at a lower rate than the sanctioned crop. If no such notice is given, the irrigation of the second crop shall be treated as unauthorised.
