## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU)

- (a)  Central  Ground  Water  Board  (CGWB)  is  periodically  monitoring  the  ground  water  levels throughout  the  country  including  Bihar  on  a  regional  scale,  through  a  network  of  monitoring wells. Information with respect to ground water level of the country during last three years i.e. 2021, 2020 and 2019 is given below-

|   SI. No. | Year     |   Wells analysed |   0-2 mbgl (%) |   2-5 mbgl (%) |   5-10 mbgl (%) |   10-20 mbgl (%) |   20-40 mbgl (%) |   >40 mbgl (%) |

The  State/UT-wise  information  of  ground  water  levels  in  the  country  including  Bihar  during 2021, 2020 and 2019 are given as Annexure I

(b) The Dynamic Ground Water Resources estimation of the entire country including Bihar are taken up periodically by CGWB and State Governments jointly. As per the 2020 assessment, out  of  the  total  6965  assessment  units  (Block/  Taluks/  Mandals/  watersheds/  Firkas)  in  the country,  1114  units  in  15  States/UTs  have  been  categorized  as  'Over-exploited'  where  the Annual  Ground  Water  Extraction  is  more  than  Annual  Extractable  Ground  Water  Resource. Further, out of total 534 assessment units (blocks) in Bihar, 7 blocks have been categorised as 'Over-exploited'

The complete groundwater resource information including details of Over-exploited assessment units for the entire country (including State/UT-wise) can be seen at URL: http://cgwb.gov.in/documents/2021-08-02-GWRA\_India\_2020.pdf.

(c) & (d) Though Water is a State subject, Central Government has taken a number of important measures for conservation, management of ground water including effective implementation of rain water harvesting in the country, which can be seen at URL:http://jalshaktidowr.gov.in/sites/default/files/Steps\_to\_control\_water\_depletion\_Feb2021.pdf. Some of the important initiatives in this regard are also given at Annexure II.

Government  of  India  launched  Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan  (JSA)  in  the  year  2019  which  continued during 2021 also to improve water availability including ground water conditions in the country including  Bihar.  Further,  the  campaign  'Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan:  Catch  the  rain'  (JSA:CTR)  was launched by the Hon'ble Prime Minister on 22 March 2021.

Ministry  of  Housing  &  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  has  formulated  guidelines  for  the  States  to adopt  measures  suitable  to  local  conditions,  such  as  Unified  Building  Bye  Laws  (UBBL)  of Delhi, 2016, Model Building Bye Laws (MBBL), 2016 and Urban and Regional Development Plan Formulation and Implementation (URDPFI) Guidelines, 2014, wherein adequate focus has been  given  on  requirement  of  rainwater  harvesting  and  water  conservation  measures. As  per MBBL, all  buildings  having  a  plot  size  of  100  sq.m.  or,  more  shall  mandatorily  include  the complete proposal of rainwater harvesting. 33 States/ UTs have adopted the features of these Bye Laws.

In addition, a number of States have done notable work in the field of water conservation/harvesting such as 'Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan' in Rajasthan, 'Jalyukt Shibar' in Maharashtra, 'Sujalam Sufalam Abhiyan' in Gujarat, 'Mission Kakatiya' in Telangana,  Neeru Chettu' in Andhra Pradesh, Jal Jeevan Hariyali in Bihar, 'Jal Hi Jeevan' in Haryana, and Kudimaramath scheme in Tamil Nadu.

## ANNEXURE II

## Annexure referred to in reply to parts (c) & (d) of Unstarred Question No. 234 answered in Lok Sabha on 03.02.2022 regarding 'GROUNDWATER LEVEL'

## Important initiatives on management of groundwater resources

Government of India launched Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA) in 2019, a time bound campaign with a mission mode approach intended to improve water availability including ground water conditions in the  water  stressed blocks of 256 districts in  India.  In  this  regard,  teams  of  officers  from  Central Government along-with technical officers from Ministry of Jal Shakti were deputed to visit water stressed districts and to work in close collaboration with district level officials to undertake suitable interventions.

In addition, Ministry of Jal Shakti has taken up the 'Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain' (JSA:CTR) with the theme 'Catch the Rain - Where it Falls When it Falls' to cover all the blocks of all districts (rural as well as urban areas) across the country during 22nd March 2021 to 30th November 2021. The campaign was launched by the Hon'ble Prime Minister on 22 March 2021.

Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti,  Department  of  Water  Resources,  RD  &  GR  (DoWR,  RD  &  GR)  is implementing Atal Bhujal Yojana (Atal Jal), a Rs.6,000 crore Central Sector Scheme, for sustainable management of ground water resources with community participation. Atal Jal is being implemented in  81  water  stressed  districts  and  8,774  Gram  Panchayats  of  seven  States  viz.  Gujarat,  Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), in consultation with States/UTs, has prepared 'Master Plan for  Artificial  Recharge  to  Groundwater  -  2020'.  The  Master  Plan  -  2020  is  a  macro  level  plan indicating various structures for the different terrain conditions of the country.  The Master Plan 2020  envisages  construction  of  about  1.42  crore  rain  water  harvesting  and  artificial  recharge structures in the country to harness 185 Billion Cubic Metre (BCM).

National Aquifer Mapping and Management program (NAQUIM) is being implemented by CGWB as  part  of  Ground  Water  Management  and  Regulation  (GWM  &  R)  Scheme,  a  Central  Sector scheme. NAQUIM envisages mapping of aquifers (water bearing formations), their characterization and development of Aquifer Management Plans to facilitate sustainable management of groundwater resources in the country. NAQUIM outputs are shared with States/UTs for suitable interventions.

Government of India generally supports artificial groundwater recharge/water harvesting works in the country through Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and  Prime  Minister  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana  -  Watershed  Development  component  (PMKSYWDC), 'Surface Minor Irrigation (SMI) and Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies schemes' a component of PMKSY.
