## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY )

(a)  &  (b) CGWB monitors groundwater levels throughout the country including the state of Karnataka, four times in every year. The district-wise ground water level data measured during Post monsoon 2024 (November) for the State of Karnataka given in Annexure-I. Analysis  of  the  data  indicates  that  around 96%  of  the  measured  wells  have  shown  water  levels  in  the  range  of  0-10  meters  below  ground  level (mbgl), indicating ease of access to ground water.

Further, the district-wise ground water level data for the last five years ie. 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 for the State of Karnataka is given in Annexure-I, II, III, IV and V.

In order to assess the long term fluctuation in ground water levels, district-wise groundwater level data  of  November  2024  has  been  compared  with  the  decadal  mean  of  November  months  of  ten  years (2014-2023). Such Analysis, as given in Annexure VI ,  indicates that around 74% of the well monitored have registered rise in groundwater level.

(c) Water  being  a  State  subject,  the  responsibility  of  addressing  the  ground  water  related  issues  lies primarily with the concerned State Governments. However, the Central Government facilitates the efforts of  the  State  Governments  by  way  of  technical  and  financial  assistance  through  its  various  schemes  and projects.  In  this  direction,  the  important  steps  taken  by  the  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  and  other  central ministries for improvement of ground water resources of the country, including for the state of Karnataka, are given below:-

-  The  Government  is  implementing  Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan  (JSA)  in  the  country,  including Karnataka, since 2019 which is a mission mode and time bound programme for harvesting the rainfall and taking up water conservation activities. JSA is an umbrella campaign under which various ground water recharge and conservation related works are being taken up in convergence with various central and state schemes. As per the information available on JSA dashboard, a total of around 16.66 lakh water conservation and artificial recharge structures have  been  constructed/renovated  in  Karnataka  since  2021.  Additionally,  31  Jal  Shakti Kendras have been set up at district level for dissemination of water related knowledge and consultation by citizens.
-  Central  Ground  Water  Board  (CGWB)  has  taken  up  National  Aquifer  Mapping  and Management Programme (NAQUIM) with an aim to delineate aquifer disposition and their characterization.  Entire  mappable  area  of  the  country  of  around  25  lakh  sq.  km,  including 1.91 lakh sq km of Karnataka, has been mapped under the scheme and district-wise ground water  management  plans,  containing  both  demand  and  supply  side  measures,  have  been shared with the respective State/District administrations for implementation.
-  Master Plan for Artificial Recharge to Groundwater- 2020 has been prepared by the CGWB for  the  entire  country,  including  Karnataka  and  shared  with  States/UTs  providing  a  broad outline  for  construction  of  around  1.42  crore  rain  water  harvesting  and  artificial  recharge structures in the country to harness 185 BCM (Billion cubic meter) of water. For Karnataka, the Masterplan recommends around 61,225 structures.
-  M/o Jal Shakti is implementing Atal Bhujal Yojana, which is a community led scheme for participatory  ground  water  management  focusing  on  demand  side  management  of  ground water in 80 water stressed districts in 7 States, Karnataka being one among them.
-  Department of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare (DA & FW), GoI, is implementing Per Drop More  Crop  (PDMC)  Scheme  in  the  country,  including  Karnataka,  since  2015-16, which focuses on enhancing water use efficiency at farm level through Micro Irrigation and better on-farm water management practices to optimize the use of available water resources.
-  Mission  Amrit  Sarovar  was  launched  by  the  Government  of  India,  which aimed at developing and rejuvenating at least 75 water bodies in each district of the country for the purpose  of  increasing  water  storage  and  boosting  ground  water  recharge.  As  an  outcome nearly 69,000 Amrit Sarovars have been constructed/rejuvenated in the country with active community participation, with 4056 in Karnataka.
-  Ministry has circulated a Model Bill to all the States/UTs to enable them to enact suitable ground water legislation for regulation of its development, which also includes provision of

rain  water  harvesting.  So  far,  21  States/UTs  including  Karnataka  have  adopted  and implemented the ground water legislation.

-  A total of 93 Public Interaction Programmes (PIPs) and 50 Tier-II & Tier -III trainings have been  organized  so  far  by  CGWB  in  various  parts  of  Karnataka  to  promote  awareness  on groundwater among public.

(d) Ground water conservation and management in Karnataka is being done through convergence of funds and efforts from a multitude of departments and agencies. While CGWB (South Western Region Office, Bengaluru) is the Central agency working under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, there are several departments under Government of Karnataka which are actively involved in this sector viz. Ground Water Directorate, Karnataka, Minor  Irrigation  Department,  Karnataka  Ground  Water  Authority,  Rural  Development  and Panchayati  Raj  (RDPR)  and  Rural  Water  Supply  and  Sanitation  Dept.  (RWSSD),  Agriculture  and Horticulture departments,  Department of Forests, Bangalore Water Supply and Sewrage Board (BWSSB), Bruhat Bengaluru MahanagaraPalike (BBMP) etc.

(e) As per the available information on JSA dashboard, an amount of around Rs. 9148 Cr has been spent on various water conservation, ground water recharge and rain water harvesting activities/works through convergence  under  MGNREGS in Karnataka under the umbrella  campaign  of  Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan  from April 2021 to July 2025.
