## ANSWER

## THE HON'BLE MINISTER OF STATE FOR WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVENATION

## (DR. SANJEEV KUMAR BALYAN)

(a)  Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) carries out ground water monitoring, four times a year, on regional scale through a network of observation wells in the Country.  Water level data for premonsoon  2016  compared  with  decadal  mean  of  pre-monsoon  (2006-2015)  indicates  decline  in ground water level in 66% of the wells monitored.  Details are given at Annexure -I. The rainfall during monsoon season (June-September) over the Country as a whole was 97% of its long period average (LPA).

(b)  to  (d) The  Government  of  India  launched  the  'Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana' (PMKSY) in 2015-16. The scheme has been formulated with the vision of extending the coverage of  irrigation  'Har  Khet  Ko  Pani'  and  improving  water  use  efficiency  'More  Crop  Per  Drop'  in  a focused  manner  with  end  to  end  solution  on  source  creation,  distribution,  management,  field application and extension activities.  It considers options including linking of rivers, where feasible; for ensuring optimal use of our water resources to prevent the recurrence of floods and drought. By harnessing rain water through 'Jal Sanchay' and 'Jal Sinchan', it will nurture water conservation and  ground  water  recharge.  Micro  irrigation  will  also  be  popularised  to  ensure  'Per  Drop-More crop'.

PMKSY has been formulated amalgamating ongoing schemes viz. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) of the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD & GR), Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) of Department of

Land  Resources  (DoLR)  and  the  On  Farm  Water  Management  (OFWM)  of  Department  of Agriculture  and  Cooperation  (DAC).  PMKSY  has  been  approved  for  implementation  across  the country with an outlay of Rs. 50,000 crore in five years.

## PMKSY-AIBP

Under  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayi  Yojana  (PMKSY-AIBP),  out  of  149  ongoing  irrigation projects at the end of 2014-15, 99 projects were identified for completion by December 2019. Out of these 99 projects, 23 priority projects have been identified for completion by March 2017. The details  of  irrigation  projects  identified  under  PMKSY  and  funds  allocated/made  available  for  the purpose to each State during the current year, State/Project wise is at Annexure-II .

## PMKSY- Har Khet Ko Pani

Under PMKSY, Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies scheme is a part under the  sub-component  Har  Khet  Ko  Pani.  The  scheme  has  multiple  objectives  like  Comprehensive improvement  and  restoration  of  water  bodies  thereby  increasing  tank  storage  capacity,  Ground Water Recharge, increased availability of drinking water, etc. This is a continuing scheme since X Plan and is presently being implemented during XII Plan also.

The scheme for implementation of RRR of Water Bodies in  XII Plan envisages taking up RRR works in 10,000 water bodies with an outlay of Rs 10,000 crore.  The Central and State share would be Rs. 6235 crore and Rs. 3765 crore respectively.  Out of 10000 water bodies, 9000 water bodies will  be  in  rural  areas  and  balance  1000  water  bodies  will  be  in  urban  areas.  All  public  and community owned water bodies may be covered under the scheme but Private owned water bodies are not covered. Urban water bodies having water spread area from 2 hectares to 10 hectares are eligible to be included under the scheme. Rural water bodies having minimum water spread area of 5 hectares will be included under the scheme.

Empowered Committee (EC) of MOWR, RD &GR in its 5 meetings held has so far cleared a total of 1354 water bodies costing Rs. 1025.87 cr. from 9 states and included them under the scheme of RRR and a CA of Rs 291.67 crore (includes Rs. 27.00 crore released to Odisha for the on-going works of XI Plan scheme) has been released to 8 States. Works of 1236 water bodies were taken up with  a  target  of  restoration  of  CCA  of  101265  ha.  So  far,  506  water  bodies  along  with  CCA  of 60081 ha have been restored. RRR works of 730 water bodies are under progress.

So far, total 3681 proposals of water bodies have been received from 21 states including Andhra Pradesh  for  their  inclusion  under  RRR  scheme  of  water  bodies  during  XII  Plan.  Out  of  3681 proposals,  1354  water  bodies  have  been  approved  for  their  inclusion  under  the  scheme  while remaining  2428  water  bodies  are  in  process  of  their  inclusion  under  the  scheme  following  the 'Guidelines  for  the  Continuation  of  Scheme  on  Repair,  Renovation  and  Restoration  (RRR)  of Water Bodies in XII Plan'. The above cited details are enclosed as Annexure-III.

## National Projects

The details of ongoing & proposed National Projects are given at Annexure-IV. So far, 16 Projects have been identified in various States including one project (Polavaram Project) in Andhra Pradesh under the scheme of National Projects by Government of India.
