There have been reports of shortage of water for  irrigation  in  some  parts  of  the  country,  largely  on  account  of  low  rainfall  during  previous years and adoption of water intensive / commercial crops.

A recent review of the status of storage position of 91 important reservoirs being monitored by Central  Water  Commission  shows  that  the  available  live  storage  is  69%  of  total  storage  of corresponding period of last year and 77% of the average storage of last 10 years.

(b) & (c) Several scientific reports have indicated about the possibility of use of sea water for various  purposes  including  that  for  irrigation.    However,  due  to  relatively  higher  costs  of treatment, there has been very limited use of sea water.
