Answer:
The ILR Programme seeks to transfer water from surplus areas to deficit areas in the country.
• Its vision is to ensure greater equity in the distribution of water by enhancing the availability of water in drought prone and rainfed areas.
• The ILR seeks to deliver 173 billion cubic meters of water through a 12,500 km of canal network to irrigate 34 million hectares.
• It will also supply drinking water to 101 districts and five metro cities.
• The programme is divided into two components – HRC and PRC. The National Perspective Plan (NPP) prepared by Ministry of Water Resources identified 14 links under Himalayan Rivers Component (HRC) and 16 links under Peninsular Rivers Component (PRC) for inter basin transfer of water.
• In 2005, National Water Development Agency (NWDA) has included the intra-state rivers linking as the third component in the NPP.
• So far, NWDA has received 46 proposals of intra-state links from 9 States viz. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Orissa, Bihar, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Chhattisgarh.
