ANSWERED ON 23.03.2017

## SUSTAINABLE USE OF WATER

## 3485. SHRI C. MAHENDRAN

Will the Minister of WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVENATION be pleased to state:

(a) the current status of water resources in comparison to normal year reservoir storages and groundwater levels;

(b)  whether there are growing concerns about the sustainable use of ground/surface water with respect to emerging issues of inequity of water distribution and access in the country and if so, the details thereof;

- (c) whether the rural areas are struggling with quality of water and if so, the details thereof; and

(d) the steps taken/to be taken by the Government in this direction?

## ANSWER

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

## (DR. SANJEEV KUMAR BALYAN)

(a) Central Water Commission (CWC) monitors live storage status of 91 reservoirs of the country on weekly basis and issues weekly bulletins. The total live storage capacity of these 91 reservoirs is 157.799 BCM which is about 62% of the live storage capacity of 253.388 BCM. As per reservoir storage bulletin dated 16.03.2017, live storage available in these reservoirs is 58.03 BCM, which is 37% of total live storage capacity of these reservoirs. However, last year the live storage available in these reservoirs for the corresponding period was 47.54 BCM and the average of last 10 years live storage was 57.8 BCM. Thus, the live storage available in 91 reservoirs as per 16.03.2017 Bulletin is 122% of the live storage of corresponding period of last year and 100% of storage of average of last ten years.

As per the  ground-water-level  data,  monitored  by  Central  Ground  Water  Board  (CGWB)  under  this  Ministry,  Premonsoon (April/ May, 2016) water level data when compared with the decadal average (2006-2015) indicate that 66% of the wells have registered decline in ground water level in all the States/UTs of the country.

(b)  Yes, Madam. River basin being the natural hydrological unit, total water resources availability is assessed river basin wise. The average annual per capita water availability in the years 2001 and 2011 was assessed as 1820 cubic meters and 1545 cubic meters respectively which may reduce further to 1341 and 1140 in the years 2025 and 2050 respectively. In view of growing population, the per capita water availability in India is reducing progressively.

Annual per-capita water availability of less than 1700 cubic meters is considered as water stressed condition, whereas annual  per-capita  water  availability  below  1000  cubic  meters  is  considered  as  a  water  scarcity  condition.  Due  to temporal  and  spatial  variability  of  rainfall,  many  regions  /  states  receive  less  than  average  rainfall  and  may  be considered as water stressed or water scarce.

As per the latest assessment of dynamic ground water resources of India (as on 31st March 2013) carried out jointly by Central Ground Water Board and State Ground Water Departments, the total annual replenishable ground water

resources of the have been estimated as 447 billion cubic meter (BCM). Keeping 36 BCM for natural discharge, the net annual ground water availability for entire country is 411 BCM. The state-wise ground water resources availability, utilization and stage of development India (As on 31st March 2013) are given in Annexure I .

(c) The surveys and the ground water quality studies carried out by CGWB and State Departments have shown that ground water in major parts of the country is potable. However, sporadic occurrence of contaminants like Arsenic, Fluoride, Nitrate etc.  in ground water above the permissible limits prescribed by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) have been reported  in some parts of the country including the rural areas. The names of the districts state wise which are partly affected by different contaminants in ground water are given in Annexure II .

(d) Water  being  state  subject,  measures  for  water  conservation  and  management  are  taken  by  respective  state Governments  depending  on  their  priority  and  resources.  In  order  to  supplement  the  efforts  of  state  governments, Central Government provides technical and financial assistance through various schemes and programmes.

Some of such interventions are as follows:

- CGWB monitors ground water quality of shallow aquifers on a regional scale, once every year during premonsoon (April/May). Ground water quality data generated during various scientific studies and ground water quality  monitoring  is  utilized  to  identify  the  extent  of  ground  water  contamination  in  different  parts  of  the country.  CGWB carries  out  exploratory  drilling  to  delineate  contaminant  free  aquifer  zones  and  successful exploratory  wells  are  handed  over  to  the  concerned  State  agencies  for  purposeful  utilization.  Since  in-situ treatment  of  contaminated  aquifers  due  to  presence  of  Arsenic,  Fluoride,  and  Nitrate  is  difficult,  remedial measures are concentrated on providing alternate sources of water supply.
- The CGWB under the Ministry of Water Resources, RD & GR has carried out Demonstrative Rain Water Harvesting  and  Artificial  Recharge  Projects  during  XI  Plan  under  the  Central  Sector  Scheme  of  'Ground Water Management & Regulation' in priority areas. The projects aimed at providing technical assistance to State Governments by demonstration of rainwater harvesting & recharge technology for replicating the same in similar hydrogeological environment. During the XI Plan, 133 demonstrative recharge projects were approved for construction of artificial recharge structures in 22 States.
- A  conceptual  document  entitled  'Master  Plan  for  Artificial  Recharge  to  Ground  Water  in  India'  has  been prepared  by  CGWB  during  the  year  2013,  which  envisages  construction  of  different  types  of  Artificial Recharge and Rainwater Harvesting structures in the Country in an area of 9,41,541 square km by harnessing surplus monsoon runoff to augment ground water resources. The Master Plan has been circulated to all State Governments for implementation.
- The National Water Policy (2012) has been formulated by Ministry of Water Resources, RD & GR which inter-alia advocates conservation, promotion and protection of water and highlights the need for augmenting the availability of water through direct use of rainfall. The National Water Policy (2012) has been forwarded to all  State  Governments/  UTs  and  concerned  Ministries/  Departments  of  Central  Government  for  appropriate action.
- Central Government has launched the National Water Mission (NWM) with the objective of conservation of water, minimizing wastage and ensuring its more equitable distribution both across and within States through integrated water resources development and management. Goals of NWM include 'Promotion of citizen and state actions for water conservation, augmentation and preservation' and 'Increasing water use efficiency by 20%'.
