## ANSWER

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

## (DR. SANJEEV KUMAR BALYAN)

(a) Ground water quality data generated by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) during various scientific studies and ground water quality monitoring indicates that ground water in isolated pockets in parts of various States including Delhi and Bihar is contaminated with Fluoride, Nitrate, Arsenic, etc.The number of Blocks in each State, affected with ground water contamination are given at Annexure-I.

According to the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation (MoDWS), as on 1.4.2016, out of 1.42 million habitations in various districts of the country, 71,077 habitations are affected by contaminated ground water.

- (b)    Steps taken by the Government to tackle the situation of ground water contamination includes.
- i.  Results  of  the  analysis  are  shared  with  concerned  State  agencies  for  awareness  and  intensive monitoring and remediation for drinking water use.

- ii.Options such as surface water & ground water based Piped Water Supply Schemes, tapping deeper aquifer and Arsenic Removal Plant (ARP)/ Fluoride Removal Plants have been adopted by various States to deal with the menace of As & F contamination in ground water.
- iii.Awareness generation programs in the Country on preventing ground water pollution and avoiding use of contaminated water, rain water harvesting and artificial recharge to ground water, are being carried out.
- iv.Ministry  of  Drinking  Water  &  Sanitation  (MoDWS)  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States  by providing them technical and financial support to the schemes being developed for drinking water supply in the State. Under NRDWP Up to 67% fund allocated to the States can be utilized for coverage  of  water  quality  affected  habitations  and  for  tackling  water  quality  problems  in  rural areas of the country.
- v. CGWB carries out exploratory drilling to delineate contaminant free aquifer zones and successful exploratory wells are handed over to the concerned agencies in the States for utilization by them.

Further,  to  improve  ground  water  levels  by  rain  water  harvesting  and  artificial  recharge  to  ground  water, CGWB has taken up Aquifer Mapping and Management programme during XII Plan, under the scheme of Ground Water Management and Regulation. The Aquifer Mapping is aimed at delineating aquifer disposition and  their  characterization  for  preparation  of  aquifer/area  specific  ground  water  management  plans,  to  be implemented in collaboration with the community.

To increase  availability  of  drinking  water,  the  Ministry  of  Drinking  Water  &  Sanitation  has  suggested  all States  to  adopt  water  conservation  measures  like  roof  top  rainwater  harvesting,  erecting  sustainability structures  for  water  conservation  etc.  For  creating  such  sustainability  structures,  10  %  of  National  Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) fund is provided to the States. State-wise details of expenditures are given at Annexure II(a) to II(d).

Department of Land Resources is currently implementing 8214 watershed development projects in 28 States (except  Goa)  covering  an  area  of  about  39.07  million  ha.  under  the  Watershed  Development  Component (WDC) of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana (PMKSY)  principally for  development of  rainfed portions  of  net  cultivated  area  and  culturable  wastelands.    The  major  activities  taken  up  under  the  WDCPMKSY, inter-alia, include ridge area treatment, drainage line afforestation, soil and moisture conservation, rain water harvesting,  horticulture, pasture development , creation of livelihoods for asset-less person, etc. State wise details of funds released are in Annexure -III.

Ministry of Urban Development has circulated its Model Building Bye-Laws (2016) to all State Governments which,  inter-alia,  incorporates  provisions  for  Rain  Water  Harvesting.    Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) mandates the States to formulate a policy and action plan for having rain water harvesting structures in all commercial, public buildings and new buildings on plots of 300 sq.m and above.

Under the Mahatma  Gandhi  National Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Act  (MGNREGA),  the  water conservation  and  water  harvesting  structures  to  augment  ground  water  constitute  special  focus  area  on recharging  ground  water  including  drinking  water  sources.  State  wise  details  of  expenditures  on  Natural Resources Management under MGNREGA are at Annexure - IV.

(c)  Central  Ground  Water  Authority  (CGWA)  has  issued  advisory  to  Chief  Secretaries  of  all  States  and Administrators of all UTs to take measures to promote/adopt rain water harvesting and artificial recharge to ground water against large scale extraction and depletion of ground water.  30 States/UTs have made rain water harvesting  mandatory  by  enacting  laws  or  by  formulating  rules  &  regulations  or  by  including  provisions  in Building bye-laws or through suitable Government Orders.

(d) CGWB by deputing Scientists  of  the  Board  monitors  ground  water  levels  four  times  a  year  (January, April/May, August and November), to check depletion of ground water and its quality, once every year during pre-monsoon  (April/May)  through  network  of  ground  water  observation  wells  in  the  Country,  including Aurangabad district of Bihar.  The data generated is analysed and shared with the respective State Government Departments as well as placed on the website of CGWB.

As per the information received from Public Health & Engineering Department (PHED), State Government of Bihar, the State deputes scientists to check the depletion as well as contamination of ground water in respect of Bihar.  PHED also takes up need based services of doctors,  as and when required, in the event of ground water contamination .
