Depending  on  the  availability  and  sustainability  of  sources,  rural  water  supply  schemes  are designed by State Governments/ its agencies. Data related to State-wise water sources for future water  supply  schemes,  in  percentage  terms  cannot  be  predicted.

(d) Government of India has launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sichayee Yojana (PMKSY) in 2015-16  which  aims  to  enhance  physical  access  of  water  on  farm  and  expand  cultivable  area under  assured irrigation, improve  farm  water  use  efficiency, introduce  sustainable  water conservation  practices,  etc.  Further,  Government  of  India  has  launched  Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan (JSA), a water conservation campaign, which is being implemented in two phases in 256 waterstressed  districts  of  the  country.  During  the  campaign,  officers,  groundwater  experts  and scientists  from  the  Government of  India  have  worked  with  State  and  District officials  in  these districts  to  promote  water  conservation  and  water  resource  management  by  focusing  on accelerated implementation of target interventions.
