## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b) Water is a State subject and the Central Government supplements the efforts of the States on water conservation and recharge, including rainwater conservation and its harvesting, through technical and financial support.   However, Government of India is implementing various schemes for rainwater conservation and its harvesting with the convergence of Central and States' schemes including people's active participation.  One of the such major initiatives of Government of include 'Jal Shakti Abhiyan' (JSA)  in  1,592  blocks  of  256  water-stressed  districts  of  the  country   which  has  become  an  annual feature  with  the  convergence  of  Central  and  States'  schemes  as  Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan:Catch  The  Rain (JSA:  CTR)  Campaign  since  2021.    Fourth  in  the  series,  JSA:  CTR  2023  has  been  launched  on 04.03.2023 with the theme 'Source Sustainability for Drinking Water'.  The campaign covers all rural and urban areas of all districts (all blocks and municipalities) across the country.

Apart  from  JSA:CTR,  Central  Government's  other  initiatives  for  rainwater  conservation  are  in place  through  National  Water  Policy,  Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and  Urban  Transformation  2.0 (AMRUT 2.0),  Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Central Ground Water Authority regulations etc.

- I. Department of Rural Development is implementing Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) which has provision for works relating to water conservation  and  water  harvesting  structures.  The  details  of  water  conservation  &  water harvesting  works  completed  and  its  expenditure  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  during  last three financial years and current year financial year 2023-24 is at Annexure I .
- II. The Department of Land Resources (DoLR) is mandated to implement  Watershed Development Component  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana  (WDC-PMKSY)  which  primarily focuses  on  development  rainfed/degraded  lands.  'Rain  Water  conservation'  is  one  of  the activities  in  the  scheme.  WDC-PMKSY  1.0  was  implemented  from  2015-16  to  2021-22  and Central assistance was provided to 28 States including Jharkhand (except Goa) [now 27 States and UTs of J & K and Ladakh). NCT of Delhi had not submitted any project proposal seeking Central assistance for watershed projects; therefore there was no watershed projects sanctioned in NCT of Delhi. Details of release of Central funds to States including Jharkhand during last three years and current year are given at Annexure II.
- III. Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has taken several steps towards sustainable management 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,  ULBs/States  may  take  up  projects  of  rainwater  harvesting  under  water supply  sector  as  per  assessment/prioritization.  So  far,  States/UTs  have  taken  up  7  rainwater harvesting  projects  worth  ₹9.19  crore  out  of  which  4  projects  worth  ₹3.42  crore  have  been completed. The details of project are at Annexure III .
- IV. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during the year 2015-16, with an aim to enhance physical access of water on farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation,  improve  on-farm  water  use  efficiency,  introduce  sustainable  water  conservation practices,  etc.  PMKSY  is  an  umbrella  scheme,  consisting  of  two  major  components  being implemented by the Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation,  namely,  Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefits  Programme  (AIBP),  and  Har  Khet  Ko Pani  (HKKP).HKKP  consists  of  four  sub-components:  (i)  Command  Area  Development  & Water Management (CAD&WM), (ii) Surface Minor Irrigation (SMI), (iii) Repair, Renovation and Restoration  (RRR)  of  Water Bodies,  and  (iv)  Ground  Water  (GW)  Development component. The central assistance released during last three years concerned with RRR & SMI schemes are attached as Annexure IV & V , respectively.
- V. Model  Building  Bye  Laws  (MBBL)  2016  circulated  by  the  Ministry  of  Housing  &  Urban Affairs include provisions for Rainwater Harvesting which has been shared with all the States/ UTs

(c) Works  related  to  repair,  renovation  and  restoration  of  water  bodies,  their  protection  from encroachment,  or  diversion  for  use  for  other  purposes,  comes  under  the  purview  of  the  State Government concerned. However, Government of India provides partial central assistance for Repair, Renovation  and  Restoration  (RRR)  of  Water  Bodies  to  promote  sustainable  water  conservation practices. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during 2015-2016 with the aim to enhance physical access of water on farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on farm water-use efficiency, introduce sustainable water conservation practices etc. Har Khet Ko Pani  (HKKP)  is  one  of  the  components  of  PMKSY.  The  scheme  of  RRR  of  Water  Bodies  has become a part of PMKSY-HKKP. Intensive cleaning and desilting of ponds, catchment area treatment to avoid soil erosion and protection work to avoid encroachment are some of the objectives of RRR of water bodies.

(d) Increasing  water  storage  capacity  is  a  continuous  process  and  constant  endeavour  of  the Government involving convergence of various Central & State Government schemes. However, Master Plan for Artificial Recharge to Groundwater- 2020 has been prepared by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) 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 has provisions for  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.
