## ANSWER

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

(a)  & (b)     Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA), a time-bound, mission mode water conservation campaign, was implemented in the July - November 2019 period, in only 1,592 blocks out of 2,836 blocks of 256  water-stressed  districts  of  the  country.  These  blocks  fell  under  critical  or  over-exploited groundwater category, where groundwater was being exploited faster than it could be replenished. During JSA, five target interventions to promote water conservation and water resource management,  viz.  water  conservation  &  rainwater  harvesting,  renovation  of  traditional  &  other water-bodies/tanks, reuse  and recharge of bore-wells,  watershed  development  and  intensive afforestation  etc  were  implemented.  Huge  public  awareness  in  water  conservation/harvesting  was generated due to JSA and further, it has been observed that various stakeholders, viz. Government departments/agencies, NGOs, Panchayats, individuals etc. have started taking steps towards water conservation. The outcome of JSA is improved water conservation.

The 'Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch The Rain' (JSA:CTR) campaign was launched by Hon'ble Prime Minister on 22 March 2021, the World Water Day, with the theme - 'Catch The Rain, Where it  falls,  When it falls'. JSA:CTR was taken up in all districts (rural as well as urban areas) of the country  during  the  pre-monsoon  and  monsoon  period  in  the  country  i.e.  from  March  2021  to  30 November  2021.  JSA:CTR  has  been  implemented  with  five  focused  interventions-  (1)  intensive rainwater harvesting and water conservation (2) enumerating, geo-tagging & making inventory of all water bodies; preparation of scientific plans for water conservation based on it (3) Setting up of Jal

Shakti Kendras in all districts (4 ) intensive afforestation and (5) awareness generation. Intervention wise progress during the campaign period is as per Annexure I.

Further,  Central  Ground  Water  Board  is  periodically  monitoring  the  ground  water  levels throughout the Country on a regional scale, through a network of monitoring wells. A comparison of ground water level of the country during last three  years viz. November, 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 (%) |
|-----------|----------|------------------|-----------|---------------------|-----------------|------------------|------------------|----------------|
|         1 | Nov 2021 |            14470 |      29   |               39.8  |           20.2  |              7   |             2.7  |            1.4 |
|         2 | Nov 2020 |            16569 |      29.3 |               38.6  |           20.4  |              7.3 |             2.9  |            1.5 |
|         3 | Nov 2019 |            14827 |      27.5 |               38.52 |           21.25 |              7.7 |             3.45 |            1.6 |

The  data  indicates  that  there  has  been  overall  improvement  in  ground  water  level  in  the country  during  November  2021  and  2020  when  compared  to  November  2019  which  is  the cumulative  impact  of  natural  and  several  interventions  of  both  State  and  Central  Government including Jal Shakti Abhiyan. The State-wise Ground water level data of country during November 2021, 2020 and 2019 are given as Annexures II, III and IV.

- (c)     Does not arise.

(d) & (e) No specific study has been commissioned by this Ministry for the water scarcity crisis in the country.  However, The Dynamic Ground Water Resources of the country are being periodically assessed jointly by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and State Governments. As per the 2020 assessment,  Total  Annual  Ground  Water  Recharge  is  436  Billion  Cubic  Meter  (BCM)  and  the Annual Extractable Ground Water Resource is 398 BCM. The Annual Ground Water Extraction for all uses is 245 BCM. The Stage of Ground Water Extraction, which is a measure of Annual Ground Water  Extraction  for  all  uses  (irrigation,  industrial  and  domestic  uses)  over  Annual  Extractable Ground Water Resources is 62% for the country as a whole.
