## 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 is contaminated with Fluoride, Nitrate, Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium etc. The State-wise details of districts affected in parts with ground water contamination are given at Annexure I.

(b)  to  (d) Ministry  of  Drinking  Water  and  Sanitation  has  informed  that  the  States  are  assisted technically and financially in providing safe drinking water through the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme.  Upto 67% of funds provided to the States under NRDWP can be utilized  for  coverage  and  tackling  water  quality  problems  with  priority  to  Arsenic  and  Fluoride affected habitations.  In addition, the States also received certain funds under the 5% Water Quality earmarked funds.

The  State  Governments  have  been  directed  to  ensure  availability  of  safe  drinking  water through  Piped  Water  Supply  as  a  long  term  measures.  Since  tackling  this  problem  is  a  long  term measure, Niti Aayog, as a stop gap arrangement, is supporting the State Governments for installation of Community Water Purification Plants for providing safe drinking water in the rural habitations of the Country, where, water is contaminated with Arsenic and Fluoride.  To this end, over and above the regular  allocation  of  funds  under  NRDWP,  on  the  recommendations  of  Niti  Aayog,  Ministry  of Finance has released Rs. 800.00 Crore during the financial year 2015-16 as a onetime 100% Central assistance to the States affected with water quality from Arsenic and Fluoride in the Country.

Since the problem of contamination of water by Arsenic and Fluoride has been serious in the rural  habitations,  Central  Government  has  taken  cognizance  of  this  serious  problem  and  decided  to take  short-term  and  long  term  measures  with  a  ring  fenced  funding  to  tackle  this  problem  in  the remaining  habitations  of  the  Country.    Over  and  above  the  normal  release  of  funds  to  the  States, during  2016-17,  under  NRDWP,  the  centre  share  amounting  to  Rs.  746.23  crore  has  also  been released to the States affected with Arsenic and Fluoride under Water Quality Sub-Mission in the ratio of 90:10 (Centre: State) for Northern -Eastern States and 50:50 (Centre: State) other States focusing on mitigation of contamination of Fluoride and Arsenic in drinking water. State/ UT wise details of funds released and expenditure incurred during last three years under Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Programme under NRDWP as per MIS of Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation is given in Annexure II (a to c ).

Water conservation and water harvesting works are on prime focus under Mahatma Gandhi National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Act.  In  the  current  financial  year,  2016-17,  a  target  of constructing  8,82,325  Farm  Ponds  under  MGNREGA  has  been  kept.  States/UTs-wise  details  of amount released and expenditure under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) during the last four years and the current year years is indicated at AnnexureIII.
