➡️Water is a State subject and it is the primary responsibility of the States to take necessary measures to conceive, plan, execute and manage water resources projects. Several steps for augmentation, conservation and efficient management of water resources are taken up by the respective State Governments. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Government, 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. Government of India has launched National Water Mission with the objective of conservation of water, minimizing wastage and ensuring more equitable distribution both across and within states through integrated water resources development and management. One of the objectives of the Mission is to increase the water use efficiency by 20%. To achieve this objective, CADWM programme implementation and micro-irrigation will receive enhanced focus during the XII Plan . The on–going schemes of XI Plan like Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP), Command Area Development & Water Management (CADWM) and Repair Renovation, and Restoration(RRR) of water bodies are being up-scaled in the XII Five Year plan.
To arrest decline of ground water levels, Central Ground Water Board has implemented demonstrative projects on rain water harvesting and artificial recharge during the XI Plan for replication by the State Governments under similar hydrogeological environments. Besides these measures, Central Ground Water Board has been taking steps for regulation of ground water development and for promoting rain water harvesting and artificial recharge.
Necessary measures to check pollution of ground water resources due to man-made activities are undertaken by the Central/ State Pollution Control Boards. In areas affected with problem of arsenic contamination in ground water, Central Ground Water Board undertakes studies for identification of arsenic free aquifers.
The Union Cabinet also gave its approval for declaring the year 2013 as “Water Conservation Year 2013. A number of mass awareness activities will be undertaken during Water Conservation Year 2013 with emphasis on sensitizing the masses on water related issues, encourage them to conserve and use it judiciously.
Rain water harvesting is another opportunity to ensure that the ground water gets recharged and the borewells do not run dry. The system is relatively inexpensive and the benefits are many. Water falling on the roof top is collected through channels, filtered and infiltration wells.
