## Statement Referred to in Reply of para (a) to (c) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. *177 for answer on 28.07.2016 regarding 'Restoration of Water Bodies'

(a)  Water  Resources  Projects  are  planned,  funded,  executed  and  maintained  by  the  State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priority. In order to supplement the efforts  of  the  State  Governments,  Government  of  India  provides  technical  and  financial assistance to State Governments  to  encourage  sustainable development  and  efficient management  of water resources through various schemes and programmes  such as Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP); and scheme of Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of water bodies etc.

Under RRR of Water Bodies scheme, a total of 11865 old water bodies have been revived including  26  water  bodies  in  the  State  of  Rajasthan.  The  State-wise  details  are  given  at Annexure-I.

(b) & (c) During XII Plan, Proposals for 3739 water bodies have been received from various States  for  their  inclusion  under  RRR  scheme.  Out  of  these,  1354  water  bodies  for  which Detailed Project Report (DPR) have been submitted by the concerned State Government as per the guidelines of the schemes, have been included for funding under this scheme. Statewise details of these water bodies are given at Annexure-II.

In  respect  of  proposals  for  the  balance  2385  water  bodies,  CWC  has  made  certain observations.  The  compliance  for  the  same  has  not  been  received  from  concerned  State Governments.  The  time  taken  for  approval  for  inclusion  of  projects  under  RRR  scheme depends upon the time taken by the concerned State Governments to formulate the proposal as per guidelines.
