(a) & (b) Since August 2019, Government of India, in partnership with States, is implementing Jal  Jeevan  Mission  (JJM)  for  making  provision  of  potable  tap  water  supply  to  every  rural household, including those in all the districts which inter alia include Bokaro, Giridih, Dhanbad and Ramgarh districts of Jharkhand, by 2024. The estimated outlay of the mission is Rs. 3.60 lakh Crore, out of which Central share is Rs. 2.08 lakh Crore.

(c) At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission, out of 18.93 Crore rural households, 3.23 Crore (17%)  households  were  reported  to  have  tap  water  connections.  So  far,  more  than  6.07 Crore (31.42%) rural households have been provided with tap water connections in last two and half  years.  Thus,  as  of  date,  out  of  19.32  Crore  rural  households  in  the  country,  9.31  Crore (48.13%) households are reported to have tap water supply  in their homes. As on date, out of 59.23  lakh  rural  households  in  the  State  of  Jharkhand,  11.54  lakh  (19.47%)  households  are reported  to  have  tap  water  supply  in  their  homes.  The  State/  UT-wise  details  are annexed . Further, the State/ UT, district & village-wise status of tap water connection in rural households, schools  and  anganwadi  centres  etc.  as  reported  by  States/  UTs  are  also  in  public  domain  and available on JJM dashboard at:

https://ejalshakti.gov.in/jjmreport/JJMIndia.aspx

(d) to (g) States plan, design, approve and implement drinking water supply schemes as Drinking Water is a State subject. Government of India supplements the efforts of the States by providing technical and financial assistance. As such details of individual projects/ schemes for rural water supply projects are not maintained at the Government of India level.

For  ensuring  tap  water  supply  in  drought-prone  &  water-scarce  areas/  areas  with  inadequate rainfall  or  dependable  ground  water  sources,  including  those  in  the  State  of  Jharkhand, provisions  have been made under JJM for planning and implementation of bulk water transfer from long distances and regional water supply schemes. In addition, provisions have been made for source  recharging,  viz. dedicated  bore  well  recharge  structures,  rain  water  recharge, rejuvenation  of  existing  water  bodies,  etc.,  in  convergence  with  other  schemes  such  as MGNREGS, Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP),15th Finance Commission tied grants to RLBs/ PRIs, State schemes, CSR funds, etc.

In order  to enhance  recharge  of  aquifers, especially in arid and  semi-arid areas, State Governments have been urged to strengthen/ extend existing canal networks and/ or build canals so  as  to  transfer  surplus  flood  waters  from  dams/  reservoirs  to  ponds/  lakes  and  other  water bodies and also recharge groundwater during monsoon season.

Further, for villages  in water-scarce areas, in order to save the precious fresh water, States are also being encouraged to plan new water supply scheme with dual piped water supply system, i.e. supply of fresh water in one and treated grey/ waste water in another pipe for non-potable/ gardening/ toilet flushing use. Moreover, the households in these areas are to be encouraged to use the faucet aerators that save a significant amount of water, in multiple taps they may be using inside their house.

Further, water  being a State subject, steps for augmentation,  conservation  and  efficient management of water resources are primarily undertaken by the respective State Governments. For supplementing the efforts of the States, the Central Government has taken various steps for sustainable ground water management in the country. Details are available at:
