## Statement  referred  in  reply  of  Lok  Sabha  Starred  Question  No.  24  to  be  answered  on 03.02.2022

(a)  Since  August  2019,  Government  of  India,  in  partnership  with  States,  is  implementing  Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), to make provision of potable tap water supply to every rural household of the country by 2024.

(b)  District-wise  fund  allocation  is  not  made  and  maintained  by  this  Department.  However, details  of  Central  funds  allocated,  funds  drawn  and  funds  utilization  reported  by  States  of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bihar and Gujarat under Jal Jeevan Mission in 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 (as on 31.01.2022) is at Annex-I.

(c)  The  State/  UT-wise  status of  tap  water  connection  in  rural  households  across  the  country, including those in Maharashtra, Bihar and Rajasthan, is at Annex-II.

(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  Maharashtra, Gujarat,  Bihar  and  Rajasthan,  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), 15 th 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.
