## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (c) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. *382 TO BE ANSWERED ON 19.03.2026 IN LOK SABHA REGARDING 'STATUS OF GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY'

(a )   Dynamic Ground Water Resource assessment of the country including for Maharashtra, is being carried  out  annually  by  the  Central  Ground  Water  Board  (CGWB)  in  coordination  with  the  State Governments.  As  per  the  latest  assessment  of  2025,  the  total  Annual  Extractable  Ground  Water Resource  for  the  country  is  estimated  as  407.75  Billion  Cubic  Meters  (BCM)  and  the  total  Annual Ground  Water  Extraction  is  247.22  BCM.  The  Stage  of  Groundwater  Extraction  (SoE),  which  is defined  as  a  ratio  of  total  Annual  Ground  Water  Extraction  to  Annual  Extractable  Ground  Water Resource, is arrived at 60.63% for the country as a whole .

Based  on  the  Stage  of  Groundwater  Extraction,  the  Assessment  Units  (AUs)  of  the  country, which  are  generally  Blocks/Taluks/Tehsils/Mandals  etc.,  are  placed  into  'Safe',  'Semi-critical', 'Critical', 'Over-Exploited' and 'Saline' categories. The State/UTs-wise number of assessment units in each category for the entire country, is provided in Annexure.

Perusal  of  data  indicates  that  out  of  359  assessment  units  (Taluks)  in  Maharashtra,  306  units (85.24%) fall in the Safe category, 40 (11.14%) in Semi-critical, 5 (1.39%) in Critical, 7 (1.95%) in Over-exploited and 1 (0.28%) unit is in the Saline category.

(b) & (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. The major steps taken by the government in this direction for regulating overextraction, reducing dependence on ground water and ensuring their long term sustainability through aquifer recharge programmes, including in the State of Maharashtra, are provided below:

- i. Efforts  of  the  Government  for  augmenting  the  water/groundwater  resources  of  the country  are  mainly  channeled  through  the  flagship  campaign  of  Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan (JSA), an annual mission mode programme for taking up water harvesting and artificial recharge  activities.  As  per  the  available  information  under  JSA,  more  than  2  Cr  water conservation and artificial recharge works have been taken up through convergence in the country so far, with around 1.89 lakh works in Maharashtra (5,346 works in Ahilyanagar district and 1,783 works in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district), which have played a key role in enhancing the sustainability of ground water resources.
- ii. To further strengthen the momentum of JSA, Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari (JSJB) initiative has  been  launched  by  the  Hon'ble  Prime  Minister  in  2024  with  a  vision  to  make  rain water harvesting a mass movement in the country. By promoting community ownership

and responsibility, the initiative seeks to develop cost-effective, local solutions tailored to specific water challenges across different regions. Thus far, more than 45 lakh rain water harvesting  and  artificial  recharge  structures  have  been  constructed  across  the  country under this initiative, with around 30,800 such structures in Maharashtra.

- iii. M/o Jal Shakti has successfully demonstrated the efficacy of community led participatory ground water management through Atal Bhujal Yojana, which was implemented in 8,203 water stressed Gram Panchayats across 7 States, including Maharashtra.

In Maharashtra, the scheme covered 1,133 Gram Panchayats (GPs) across 43 water  stressed  blocks  in  13  districts,  including  100  GPs  in  3  Blocks  of  Ahilyanagar district  (erstwhile  Ahmednagar  district).  However,  Chhatrapati  Sambhajinagar  district (erstwhile  Aurangabad  district)  was  not  covered.  Under  the  scheme,  community  led preparation of Water Budgets (WBs) and Water Security Plans (WSPs) were completed and  annually  updated  for  all  covered  GPs.  Further,  construction/rejuvenation  of  9,460 water  harvesting  and  artificial  recharge  structures  were  done,  with  318  structures  in Ahilyanagar district and an area of around 2.74 lakh Hectares was brought under efficient irrigation practices, with around 22,500 Hectares in Ahilyanagar district. As a result, 39 out 43 Blocks covered in Maharashtra along with all the 3 Blocks of Ahilyanagar district, have shown improvement in ground water levels during periodic assessments conducted from 2023 to 2025.

- iv. Jal  Jeevan  Mission  (JJM)  -  Har  Ghar  Jal,  being  implemented  by  this  Ministry  in partnership with states,  marks  an  important  milestone  for  providing  contamination  free potable tap water to every rural household of the country on regular & long-term basis. As on date 15.82 Cr rural households of the country have been covered under the Scheme as compared to 3.23 Cr at the time of Scheme commencement in August 2019. Further, under  JJM  source  sustainability  is  an  important  theme  and  the  scheme  integrates measures  such  as  rain  water  harvesting  and  artificial  recharge  to  ensure  long  term viability of aquifers tapped for water supply projects. Moreover, in areas facing ground water stress and quality issues, the Scheme promotes surface water based multi-village projects.
- v. 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. As an outcome nearly 69,000 Amrit Sarovars have been constructed/rejuvenated in the country, with 3,055 in Maharashtra, leading to enhanced water storage and ground water recharge.

- vi. On the regulation front, the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) under the Ministry of  Jal  Shakti  is  involved  in  regulation  of  ground  water  extraction  in  19  States/UTs, including  Maharashtra.  CGWA  issues  'No  Objection  Certificates'  (NOCs)  for  ground water extraction to industries, mines, infrastructure projects etc.
- vii. Department of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare (DA & FW) is implementing Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) Scheme in the country, including Maharashtra, since 2015-16, which focuses on enhancing water use efficiency at farm level through Micro Irrigation leading to conservation of ground water.
- viii. After  the  successful  completion  of  NAQUIM  1.0,  which  mapped  the  aquifers  of  the country for the entire mappable area of 25 lakh sq. kms, including 2.59 lakh sq km of Maharashtra, CGWB has embarked upon NAQUIM 2.0, focusing on water stressed and quality  affected  pockets,  with  a  view  to  provide  aquifer  data  of  high  granularity  along with  appropriate  management  plans.  These  precise  aquifer  maps  along  with  identified recharge points serve as vital tools in the hands of policy makers as well as field level functionaries.
