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

(a) the estimated water storage capacity of each major reservoir in the country;

(b)  the  details  of  water  availability  against  their  storage  capacity  during  each  of  the  last  three  years  vis-a-vis average storage capacity especially in the drought affected States including Gujarat, State-wise;

- (c) the steps taken by the Government to ensure adequate supply of water to the concerned States;

(d) the funds allocated/released by the Government for upkeep of reservoirs during the current plan period, Statewise; and

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT & GANGA REJUVENATION (DR. SANJEEV KUMAR BALYAN)

(a) to (b)  Central Water Commission (CWC) monitors live storage status of 91 reservoirs of the country on weekly basis and issues weekly bulletin on every Thursday. Out of these reservoirs, 10 reservoirs are in Gujarat. Water availability of the 91 reservoirs monitored by CWC against their storage capacity at end of the monsoon season i.e. 30 th September during last three years is given in Annexure-I .

(c) to (d)  The supply of water to the states depends on its water resources and the rainfall received. Works related to  water  resources  development  &  management  are  planned,  funded,  executed  and  maintained  by  the  State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priorities. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments,  Government  of  India  provides  technical  and  financial  assistance  to  the  State  Governments  to encourage  sustainable  development  and  efficient  management  of  water  resources  through  various  schemes  and programmes.

Under the scheme for Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of water bodies, MoWR, RD &GR gives Central Assistance (CA) to States/UTs. 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, improvement in agriculture/horticulture productivity etc.

Under the RRR scheme of domestic support, a total of 3341 water bodies were taken up for restoration in 12 states under XI Plan.  Total central grant amounting to Rs. 917.26 crore was released to the states for completion of works of water bodies taken up during XI Plan and the works on 2801 water bodies have been completed and an irrigation potential of 1.984 lakh ha has been restored up to 31.03.2016.

Further during XII Plan, 1354 additional water bodies have been included under this scheme. So far, an amount of Rs. 264.669 crore has been released towards these schemes and an irrigation potential of 0.285 lakh ha has been restored up to 31.03.2016. Works in 464 of water bodies have been completed.  State-wise details of the releases in current Plan period is given in Annexure-II.

(e) The requisite water levels in the reservoirs are maintained by the dam authorities through a determination of rainfall, flood levels and water demands.
