## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY )

(a) Yes. The Reservoir Storage Monitoring System (RSMS) is a dedicated online portal designed to monitor the effective live storage capacity of key reservoirs across the country. Through this platform, a weekly bulletin detailing the status of monitored reservoirs is made publicly available, ensuring broad accessibility  and  transparency.  This  open  access  to  real-time  data  empowers  stakeholders  to  make informed decisions  and  supports  strategic  planning  in  critical  areas  such  as  irrigation,  drinking  water supply, flood management, while also aiding drought preparedness.

(b) The  storage  status  of  161  key  reservoirs  across  the  country  is  being  monitored  by  the  Central Water Commission presently through RSMS . Of these, 11 reservoirs are situated within the state of Madhya Pradesh. However, none of these 11 reservoirs fall within the jurisdiction of the Gwalior Lok Sabha Constituency. A detailed list of the monitored reservoirs, along with their respective water storage capacities, is at Annexure-I.

(c) At  present,  no  proposal  is  pending  with  the  Central  Government  for  the  implementation  of innovation-driven  pilot  projects  under  the  TDAI,  specifically  targeting  groundwater  conservation  and augmentation in the drought-affected Gwalior and Chambal divisions of Madhya Pradesh.

(d) The Central Government has undertaken several initiatives to support water management in the Hoshangabad and Narsinghpur districts, which fall under the Hoshangabad Lok Sabha Constituency. As part of these efforts, the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) has prepared National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) reports for the districts of Narsinghpur, Raisen, and Hoshangabad. These reports include block-wise recommendations for water conservation, all of which have been shared with the respective district administrations.

In  Hoshangabad  and  Narsinghpur  districts,  CGWB  conducts  groundwater  level  monitoring  four times a year during January, May, August, and November through a network of 32 monitoring stations. The  data  generated  from  these  stations  is  regularly  disseminated  to  relevant  State  Government departments and associated organizations to facilitate informed planning and effective management of groundwater resources.

In  addition,  the  Government  of  Madhya  Pradesh  has  implemented  a  range  of  initiatives  to strengthen water management in the Hoshangabad and Narsinghpur districts. Comprehensive details of the  completed,  ongoing,  and  proposed  water  management  schemes  formulated  based  on  water availability and technical feasibility, as provided by the Government of Madhya Pradesh,  are given at Annexure-II .
