## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR  DRINKING   WATER  AND  SANITATION (SHRI  RAM  KRIPAL  YADAV)

- (a) and  (b)  Yes  Madam.  Under  the  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme (NRDWP)  there  is  a  Sustainability  component  which  is  10%  of  the  total programme fund to be used for creating sustainability structures to ensure water security and ground water recharge. Since water is a state subject, this Ministry is  incentivizing  State  Governments  to  take  up  the  measures  which  result  in recharge and rejuvenation of drinking water sources. Under this programme, the ministry is insisting the states to prepare village and district water security plans with the help of Village Water & Sanitation Committee (VWSC) and / or Gram Panchayat  Water  &  Sanitation  Committee  (GPWSC)  and  implement  them effectively. The measures undertaken in this programme is as below:

## Short and Medium Term Measures:-

- i. Conservation and storage of water by utilizing different sources for different use  viz.  properly  collected  and  stored  rainwater,  treated  surface  water  / ground  water  for  drinking  and  cooking,  untreated  water  for  bathing  and washing and grey water / spent water for flushing of toilets.
- ii. Adopting integrated approach by revival of traditional systems, conjunctive use of surface and ground water, storage of rain water harvesting both at the community level and at the household level.
- iii. Harvesting  and  storage  of  rain  water  for  drinking  both  at  the  community level and at the household level.
- iv. Convergence with the Mahatma  Gandhi  National Rural  Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS)  programme for construction of new ponds and rejuvenation of the old ponds, including de-silting.
- v. Excess rain water at the household and community level to be recharged into the ground aquifer wherever feasible.

## Long Term Measures

- i. To ensure  drinking water security under all circumstance and at all times,  to have an alternate sub-district, district and or state level water supply system in  the  form  of  a  grid  supplying  metered  bulk  water  to  GPs  /  village  by adopting an appropriate system of pricing.
- ii. State  or  district  or  sub  district  level  grid  could  be  in  the  form  of  major pipelines,  canals  or  any  other  appropriate  system  connecting  major  water bodies / sources.
