Answers
Surface Water
India is a water rich country with 4% of world’s water resources(India-WRIS wiki 2015). The rivers have been the heart and soul of the India’s growth as well as culture. Among them, 12 rivers are classified as major river which are catering about 253 mha of catchment area and 46 as medium river with 24.6 mha of catchment area. Many of the river systems with their tributaries are perennial and some of them are seasonal. The Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna system is the largest river system in India with 43% of the catchment area of the all major river systems. The other major river systems are Indus, Sabarmati, Mahi, Narmada, Tapi, Brahmani, Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Pennar and Cauvery. Apart from that, there are several other medium rivers systems of which Subernarekha (with 1.9 mha catchment area) is the largest (Dhawan 2017, Central Water Commission 2015).
Other than rivers and canals, other inland water resources include numerous reservoirs, tanks and ponds, beels, oxbow lakes, derelict water and brackish water, which cover almost 7 mha of area. They are unevenly distributed over the country with Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka and West Bengal possessing more than 50% of these inland water resources.
