1. Strategies for Water Sector in the Twelfth Five Year
Plan
2. Current StatusAnnual Water availability is almostconstantPer
capita water storage is 190 m3Irrigation efficiency is
38-40%Against 139.89 m.ha. of ultimateirrigation potential, about
113.24 m.ha.created by the end of XI PlanFlood prone area is 49.8
m.ha.
3. Current Status contdOut of 16,66,075 Rural
habitations,12,31,411 have 100% populationcovered with drinking
waterAgainst 12.57 crore households, 9.08cr provided individual
toilets
4. Challenges in the Water Sector Rising Water Demand Growing
population and economy strains the demand supply balance Limited
water resources with spatial & temporal variation Falling
groundwater tables Groundwater contamination Surface water
pollution Climate change impact on hydrological cycle
5. Challenges contdLower efficiency in water usesFrequent
spells of floods & droughtsIncreasing water
conflictsSustainability of the resourcesOver dependence on Ground
Water leading to slipback and contaminationLack of convergence
Rural water supply withsanitation-toilets constructed under
TSCInequity in urban water supplyDisaggregated demand supply
details required forvarious regions
6. Action Plan for the Water SectorImproving water use
efficiencySustainable participatory groundwatermanagementWatershed
restoration and groundwater rechargeNew approach to rural drinking
water supply onpopulation basisIntegrate urban water supply with
sewage systemsEmphasis on recycle & reuse of waterNew legal and
institutional frameworkBasin approach for water planning &
management
7. Major&Medium Irrigation & Accelerated Irrigation
Benefits ProgrammePrioritize investible funds to complete
ongoingprojectsClose irrigation capacity and utilization gap by
10m.ha.Modify AIBP and tie with Command AreaDevelopment
ProgrammeLink AIBP assistance to reforms and opt multidisciplinary
approach instead of engineering onlyNational Irrigation Management
Fund fordeepening reforms

blocks)Total Units Assessed - 5842 9
10. Groundwater Action Plan contdAquifer mapping for
GroundwaterManagement as primary focusBreaking groundwater energy
nexusPromoting groundwater developmentin Eastern India
11. Rural Water Supply and Sanitation- Action Plan contdBy
2017, 50% households to have 40 lpcdpiped water supply.Waste water
treatment and sanitation-integral part of water supply plansIn
sanitation to focus on habitationsaturation approachSolid and
liquid waste management to formpart of Nirmal Gram
12. Urban Water Supply and Sanitation- Action Plan contdFocus
on demand managementBridge water supply and sewage treatment
gapInter-se reallocation of water among varioussectorsAll generated
sewage to be tapped and treatedEfficient systems, Minimise loss,
progressivetariff structureIndustry- Reduce water use and
recycleWater audits in public and private institutions
13. Flood and its Management-Action Plan contdEmphasis on
restoring traditionalwater bodies and natural
drainagesystemsInvolve civil society organization tomanage
floodsEncourage non structural measures
14. Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP)25 m.ha. to
be covered in the XII PlanFocus on physical outcomes andmonitorable
indicatorsIWMP to be integrated with NRLM, RRR ofwater bodies and
MGNREGAIWMP to be used as a scientific tool forrecharging of ground
water
15. Expected OutcomesBridging the irrigation capacity
utilization gapby 10 m.ha.Creating 18.35 m.ha. new irrigation
capacity25 m.ha. to be covered under IWMP50% of the population to
have piped watersupply50% of the Gram Panchayats to attain
NirmalGram statusCover all rural habitations with sanitationAll
urban water supply projects to combinesewage treatment facilities
