💡 Analysis & Explanation
[Categorization Framework] ▼
To streamline administrative funding and engineering scale, the Indian government strictly categorizes water resource projects based on their absolute Cultivable Command Area (CCA).
[Tier Definition] ▼
Minor irrigation projects are capped up to 2,000 hectares. Medium projects fall within the operational bracket of 2,000 to precisely 10,000 hectares.
[Highest Classification] ▼
Any extensive dam or canal network designed to service a massive CCA exceeding the 10,000-hectare threshold is institutionally designated at the highest infrastructural tier.
Conclusion ▼
Such massive undertakings are officially termed Major Projects.
