## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. *351 TO BE ANSWERED ON 19.12.2024 IN LOK SABHA REGARDING 'CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENT USE OF WATER'

(a) & (b) Water is a state subject and the efforts to manage, conserve and to promote efficient use of water comes under the domain of States/UTs. Central Government supplements the efforts of the States/UTs on water conservation and rainwater harvesting through technical and financial support. Water conservation is one of the foremost priorities of the Government. Some of the major initiatives taken by the Government for water conservation and efficient use of water and to increase the groundwater level across the country are as follows:

- i. The Ministry of Jal Shakti has been implementing Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA) since 2019 on an annual basis. In the current year, Ministry of Jal Shakti is implementing Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain (JSA:  CTR)  2024,  5 th in  the  series  of  JSAs,  in  all  the  districts  (rural  as  well  as  urban)  of  the country. JSA:  CTR  is  a  convergence  of  various  Central  Government  schemes  and  funds  like MGNREGS, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Per Drop More Crop,  Repair,  Renovation  and  Restoration  Components  under  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY),  Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA), Finance Commission grants, State Government schemes, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds etc. One of the major interventions of the campaign is water conservation and rainwater harvesting  which  inter-alia  includes  construction  and  repair  of  rainwater  harvesting  structures including  rooftop  and  recharge  structures.  The  details  of  financial  expenditure  incurred (under MGNREGS alone) in JSA: CTR campaign as available on JSA: CTR portal (jsactr.mowr.gov.in) during the last three years and the current year is at Annexure I .
- ii. Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has taken several steps towards sustainable management and conservation of water in urban areas through issuance of various guidelines and implementation of National  Missions  i.e.,  Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and  Urban  Transformation  (AMRUT)  & AMRUT 2.0. Under AMRUT, Urban Local Bodies(ULBs)/States may take up projects of rainwater harvesting under water supply sector, rejuvenation of water bodies for water supply and recharge of ground water etc, as per assessment/prioritisation. Under AMRUT 2.0, rejuvenation of water bodies and  wells  is  one  of  main  components.  The  admissible  elements  under  this  inter-alia  include rejuvenation  of  wetlands,  water  bodies  by  desilting,  strengthening  the  embankments,  and  stone packing, harvesting the rainwater through storm water drains into water body (which is not receiving sewage/ effluent) etc.. Under AMRUT, Rs. 34,869.15 crores have been released so far. However, Rs. 9,823.82 crores have been released for projects during the last 3 years. Whereas under AMRUT 2.0, Rs. 11,756.13 crores have been released for projects to all States/Union Territories (UTs) so far.

- iii. Central  Ground  Water  Board  (CGWB)  under  the  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  is  implementing  Ground Water  Management  and  Regulation  (GWMR)  Scheme,  a  Central  Sector  Scheme,  under  which activities related to exploration, monitoring, assessment and management of ground water resources including  groundwater  conservation/  artificial  recharge  interventions  are  carried  out  across  the country. The budget allocation during the last 3 years under the GWMR is tabulated below:

| Year    |   Utilized (Expenditure) in Crores (Rs.) |
|---------|------------------------------------------|
| 2021-22 |                                   180.2  |

| 2023-24 |                                   202.58 |

CGWB has also completed the National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) Project in the entire mappable area  of  about  25  Lakh  sq.  km.  The  Aquifer  maps  and  management  plans  have  been  prepared  and shared with the respective State agencies for implementation. The management plans include various water conservation measures through demand side and supply side interventions. In addition, CGWB has also prepared a Master Plan for Artificial Recharge to Groundwater- 2020 in consultation with States/UTs  which  is  a  macro  level  plan  indicating  various  structures  for  the  different  terrain conditions of the country including estimated cost. The Master Plan envisages construction of about 1.42  crore  Rain  water  harvesting  and  artificial  recharge  structures  in  the  country  to  harness  185 Billion Cubic Metre (BCM) of monsoon rainfall.

- iv. Government  of  India  is  implementing  Atal  Bhujal  Yojana,  a  Central  Sector  Scheme  with  a  total outlay of Rs. 6,000 crore in identified water stressed areas of 8203 Gram Panchayats (GPs) under 229  blocks  in  80  districts  of  Seven  States  viz.  Gujarat,  Haryana,  Karnataka,  Madhya  Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh with an aim to arrest decline in ground water level through community  led  sustainable  groundwater  management.  The  scheme  is  being  implemented  from 01.04.2020 for a period of 5 years.

The  scheme  focuses  on  demand  side  management  of  ground  water  by  bringing  change  in community  behaviour.  Gram  Panchayat  wise  Water  Security  Plans  (WSPs)  having  details  about water budget and proposed demand side interventions such as micro-irrigation, crop diversification, use of pipelines etc, and supply side interventions such as check dams, farm ponds, recharge shafts and  other  artificial  recharge  /  water  conservation  structures  are  prepared  and  executed  through convergence of ongoing schemes.  A total of Rs. 3,346.91 Cr. has been disbursed to the States since the  inception  of  the  scheme.  State-wise  and  year-wise  break-up  of  funds  disbursed  to  the  States during the last three years is given in Table 1 at Annexure-II .

State/UT-wise  details  of  Central  share  released  during  last three years and current year is given at Annexure VII .

(c) Water  being  a  State  subject,  initiatives  for  water  management,  including  its  resources  and  quality  is primarily  the  responsibility  of  the  States.  However,  various  steps  have  been  taken  by  the  Central Government  for  preventing  groundwater  depletion  and  facilitating  ground  water  quality  improvement/

remediation  of  contamination  in  the  country.  The  Dynamic  Ground  Water  Resources  of  the  country including Odisha are being assessed every year from 2022 jointly by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and  State  Governments.  This  exercise  comprises  of  assessment  of  Annual  Ground  Water  Recharge, Extractable Ground Water Resource & Ground Water Extraction. Stage of ground water extraction in an assessment unit is calculated as the ratio of annual ground water extraction to annual extractable resource. Based on this the assessment units are categorized as Safe, Semi-critical, Critical or Over-exploited.

As per the Ground Water Resource Assessment-2023, the Total Annual Ground Water Recharge is 449.08 Billion Cubic Meter (BCM) and the Annual Extractable Ground Water Resource is 407.21 BCM. The  Annual  Ground  Water  Extraction  for  all  uses  is  241.34  BCM.  The  average  stage  of  groundwater extraction for the country as a whole works out to be about 59.26 %. Out of the total 6553 assessment units (Blocks/ Mandals/ Talukas/TehsilS/Valley/District) in the country, 736 units (11.23%) have been categorized as 'Over-exploited' ,199 units (3.04 %) as 'Critical', 698 units (10.65 %) as 'Semi-critical' and 4793 units (73.14 %) as 'Safe 'units.

For the State of Odisha, Total Annual Ground Water Recharge of the State (as per GWRA-2023) has been assessed  as  17.35  bcm  and  Annual  Extractable  Ground  Water  Resource  as  15.94  bcm.  The  Annual Ground Water Extraction is 7.39 bcm and Stage of Ground Water Extraction is 46.33 %.  Out of the total of 314 assessment units (blocks), 9 units (2.87 %) have been categorized as 'Semi-critical', 299 units (95.22 %) as 'Safe' and 6 units (1.91 %) as 'Saline' categories of assessment units.

Under the National Aquifer Mapping Programme (NAQUIM) of CGWB, special attention is being given to the aspect of ground water quality including contamination by toxic substances such as Arsenic in ground  water.  CGWB  is  successfully  constructing  Arsenic  free  wells  in  arsenic  affected  areas  using  the cement sealing technology for tapping contamination free aquifers and also providing technical assistance to state departments in Fluoride mitigation. Apart from the above, awareness generation programs/ workshops on  various  aspects  of  ground  water  including  preventing  ground  water  pollution  and  safe  use  of contaminated  water  are  being  conducted  by  CGWB  periodically.  Additionally,  fortnightly  results  of chemical analysis data are shared with State Governments as Ground Water Quality Alerts since 17 June 2024.

Government of India, in partnership  with  States,  is  implementing  Jal  Jeevan  Mission  (JJM)  since August, 2019 to provide potable tap water supply in adequate quantity, of prescribed quality and on regular & long-term basis to every rural household in the country. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, as per existing guidelines, Bureau of Indian Standards' BIS:10500 standards are adopted as benchmarks for quality of water being supplied through the piped water supply schemes. Under JJM, while planning water supply schemes to provide tap water supply to households, priority is given to quality-affected habitations including Odisha. While  allocating  the  funds  to  States/  UTs  in  a  particular  financial  year,  10%  weightage  is  given  to  the population residing in habitations affected by chemical contaminants. States/ UTs have been advised to plan and  implement piped water supply schemes based on alternative safe water sources for the  villages  with water quality issues. Under JJM, States/ UTs can utilize up to 2% of their annual allocation of funds under

JJM for Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance (WQM&S) activities inter alia which includes setting up and strengthening of water quality testing laboratories, procurement of equipment, instruments, chemicals, glassware,  consumables,  hiring  of  skilled  manpower,  surveillance  by  community  using  field  test  kits (FTKs),  awareness  generation,  educational  programmes  on  water  quality,  accreditation/  recognition  of laboratories, etc.

(d) Water being a state subject, the efforts to manage, conserve and harvest rainwater comes under the domain of States/UTs. However, the Central Government has been implementing several schemes/campaigns to conserve and harvest rainwater. The Ministry of Jal Shakti has been implementing Jal Shakti  Abhiyan  (JSA)  since  2019  on  an  annual  basis.  In  the  current  year,  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  is implementing Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain (JSA: CTR) 2024, 5 th in  the  series  of  JSAs,  in  all  the districts  (rural  as  well  as  urban)  of  the  country,  including  all  the  districts  of  Odisha,  Jharkhand  and Chhattisgarh.  One  of  the  focused  interventions  under  the  campaign  includes  construction  and  repair  or rainwater  harvesting  structures  which  inter-alia  includes  check  dams/ponds,  trenches  etc.  The  details  of rainwater harvesting structures completed under JSA: CTR as available on JSA: CTR portal (jsactr.mowr.gov.in) in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Kalahandi and Nuapada in Odisha is at Annexure VIII .

To further strengthen the momentum of Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain (JSA: CTR) campaign, the Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari (JSJB) initiative, has been launched with the focus on intensifying community mobilization to build low cost affordable rainwater harvesting structures in saturation mode.

Apart  from  above,  various  other  schemes  such  as  Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and  Urban Transformation  (AMRUT),  AMRUT  2.0,  Watershed  Development  Component  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi Sinchai  Yojana  (WDC-PMKSY),  WDC-PMKSY  2.0  etc.  are  being  implemented  for  improvement  of rainwater harvesting across the country.
