## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE  FOR  WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVENATION (DR SANJEEV KUMAR BALYAN)

(a) & (b)  Floods are a natural calamity that India faces almost every year, in varying degrees of magnitude. The frequent occurrence of floods can be attributed to various factors, including wide variations in rainfall both in time and space with frequent departures from the normal pattern, inadequate carrying capacities of rivers,  river  bank  erosion  and  silting  of  river  beds,  landslides,  poor  natural  drainage  in  flood  prone  areas, snowmelt and  glacial  lake  out  bursts.  The  XII  Plan  Working  Group  on  'Flood  Management  and  Region Specific Issues' constituted by Planning Commission has compiled the maximum flood affected area in the country as 49.815 million hectare (mha). The average annual flood damages in India during the period from 1953 to 2015 are of the order of Rs. 4267.24 crore as per data base compiled by Central Water Commission. The details are given at Annex-1.

(c) , (d)  and (e)     The subject of flood management being under the purview of the States, the schemes for flood  control  are  formulated  and  implemented  by  concerned  States  as  per  their  priority.  The  Union Government  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States  by  providing  technical  guidance  and  also  promotional financial assistance for management of floods in critical areas.

The Government of India had launched  Flood Management Programme (FMP) for works related to river management, anti-erosion, restoration of damaged flood management works, anti-sea erosion etc. Under this programme,  a  total  of  518  projects  were  approved  in  XI  and  XII  Plan  and  the  central  assistance  of  Rs 4773.08 Crore has been released till date out of which, the amount of Rs. 1207.08 Crore was released in XII Plan.

Out 518 projects approved under FMP in XII Plan, 293 projects have been completed till date, which have provided reasonable protection against floods in 19.593 lakh hectare of area and benefited the population of 197.227  lakh  in  the  country.  The  State-  wise  details  of  projects  approved,  projects  completed  and  funds released in XI and XII Plan under FMP are given at Annex-2

Besides the structural measures mentioned above, the Central Water Commission (CWC) under the Ministry maintains flood forecasting network of 708 stations out of which flood forecasts are presently issued for 184 stations. The flood forecasts issued by CWC are utilized by local administration in deciding plans for shifting of  people  from  flood  affected  areas  to  safer  locations  and  by  State  /  Project  Authorities  in  optimum regulation of reservoirs for ensuring safety of people residing in the downstream areas of dams / reservoirs.

In  addition,  Ministry  has  approved  a  plan  scheme  during  XII  Plan  for  Rs.281  crore  for  flood  forecasting, modernisation  and  expansion  of  the  flood  forecasting  network  for  automatic  data  collection,  expeditious transmission and flood forecast dissemination. The scheme has the following broad components:

- i) The Flood Forecasting network is proposed to be expanded from existing 184 flood forecasting stations to  275  stations  as  per  details  in Annex-3 .  Simultaneously,  the  support  network  of  708  hydrological observation  sites  would  be  increased  to  1118  out  of  which  1074  stations,  as  against  the  current  507, would be on an automatic satellite based telemetry  system. As  a  result of the telemetry network, live information would be available on the real time basis. It will eliminate the delays in dissemination of flood warnings to the States due to the manual system of dissemination.
2. ii)  All the 12 regional offices of CWC will have the facility of carrying out data modeling for making timely forecasts  to  forewarn  the  community  and  the  local  authorities  with  lead  time  upto  72  hours  before occurrence of the event. This is in contrast with the existing forecast lead time of 24 hours.
3. iii) The enhanced network will ensure coverage of the hitherto uncovered additional regions in sub-basins of Ganga, Brahmaputra, Mahanadi& Godavari, which are amongst highly flood prone areas and experience huge flood damages.

- iv)  It  is  also  proposed  to  provide  inundation  forecast  on  pilot  basis  in  3  mha  flood  prone  area  of  Kosi, Brahmaputra,  Godavari  and  Sabri  sub-basins  using  high  resolution  Digital  Elevation  Models  already available with National Remote Sensing Centre.
- v)  Currently, on an average 6000 flood warnings are issued annually with an accuracy of over 98%. It is expected  that  with  expanded  network  of  flood  forecast  systems,  these  would  go  upto  10,000  annual warnings covering hitherto uncovered areas in the basins mentioned above, with an enhanced lead time of upto 72 hours. This would give community enough time to ensure preventive action to save life and property.

In  addition,  the  Government  of  India  is  having  continuous  dialogue  with  Government  of  Nepal  for construction  of  storage  projects  in  Nepal  for  mitigation  of  floods  in  India  caused  by  rivers  flowing  from Nepal.
