WATER SECURITY PLAN FOR ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY OF SOURCES – INSTITUTIONAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
JALANIDHI
WATER
Water is essential to the life of the planet and to the prosperity of its people.
Whether it is food security, nutrition security, poverty reduction, economic growth, energy production, human health—water is the nexus
WATER security is the capacity of a population to ensure that they continue to have access to potable water..
Water security implies affordable access to clean water for agricultural industrial or HH usage and is thus important part of human security
Water security also means addressing environmental protection and the negative effects of poor management.
WATER SECURITY
GLOBAL SCENARIONEED OF WATER SECURITY
India has
2% of world’s land 4% of world’s freshwater resources 16% of world’s population 17% of world’s cattle population Precipitation Most of it is confined to monsoon of just
about 100 h out of the total 8760 h in a year
Makes irrigation imperative for reliable agricultural production
Necessitates storage in various forms
NATIONAL SCENARIO
Per capita availability as on 2001- 1820cm/year
Per capita availability as on 2050- 1140cm/year
Expected population on 2050- 1640 million Total utilizable SW – 690cubic km Total replenishable GW- 432cubic km Annual pption including snow fall-
4000cubic km
Indian Scenario
44 rivers 3000 mm annual rain fall About 29 fresh water reservoirs and
lakes Highest well density Chain of back water bodies About 600 km coast line Inspite of all these Rivers dry up in summer Ground water is declining Ponds dry up in summer Declining discharge of Springs
STATE SCENARIO
Is a demand driven project scientific source identification done
Challenges in Sustainability of sources identified Water scooping studies to improve
sustainability of sources, still sustainability of sources were yet to be achieved
This calls for Reliable source finding Identifying suitable site for ground water
recharging Conserving and developing ground water. Better Management of surface and
underground water resources
JALANIDHI PHASE I
Kerala has limited ground water resources. In recent times there has been considerable
increase in demand for water due to increase in population as well as standard of living and also greater use of water for irrigation and industrial purpose.
Thus it becomes imperative that any large scale water supply project using ground water addresses the sustainability of the resource.
WHY WATER SECURITY PLAN IN JALANIDHI PHASE II ?
Sustainability of this limited resource is possible only through implementation of artificial recharge and water conservation measures on a water shed basis wherever feasible.
Hence in JALANIDHI PHASE IILocating and deriving location specific water security plans giving focus on recharging mechanisms is a prerequisite
WATER AVAILABILITY IN A REGION
HOW WATER SECURITY PLAN ?
RAINFALL SURFACE WATER
GROUND WATER
WATER SHED
AQUIFER(WELLS)
GROUND WATER PROSPECT
PREPARATION OF WATER SECURITY PLAN
The Hydro geological status of the area The yield and quality Scope for further development Plan for artificial recharge Water budgeting for a specific period Measures for maintenance of
environmental health
NEED OF A WATER SECURITY PLANWSP PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT ABOUT
Preparing a water development plan on the GIS/ available map showing the water resources both ground and surface and plotting the habitations/ wards requiring water.
Identifying good source in terms of quality and quantity
Providing appropriate ground water recharge measures for the selected sources
Rain water harvesting measures required to ensure reliability.
Conjunctive use of surface water ground water and rain water harvesting
water security plan encompassing (i) water quality monitoring at BG level using field test kits, (ii) water quality monitoring at district level, (iii) mechanism to take corrective actions, (iv)water quality surveillance preferably by Government of Kerala, Health department or by agencies as decided by KRWSA
A operating plan - identifying standard operating functions and who will do them
OBJECTIVES OF WATER SECURITY PLAN
To generate a scientific data base on ground water souce finding.
The ground water prospect map narrow down the target zones facilitating
systematic site selection for drilling Identifies sites suitable for recharge
interventions ensuring sustainability of the source.
Indicate ground water potential zones and critical zones
USE OF WATER SECURITY PLAN
Improved water cycle management Checks misuse of water bodies Prevents mismatched rate of
withdrawal and recharge WSP provides the platform on which a
recharge and conservation programme can be built
WATER SECURITY PLAN ENSURES
1. STATE/KRWSA2. PRI/GP3. NGO/SO4. BG/USER GROUP
STAKE HOLDERS OF WATER SECURITY PLAN
1. ROLE OF KRWSA/STATE is responsible for the preparation of TOR
for the consultant’s preparation of water security plan of GP
Ensure that approved TOR will be followed for the preparation of water security plans of all GPs
Procurement, selection and placement of consultant for the preparation of water security plan for the GPs as per the procurement norms.
To execute the agreement with the selected consultant and monitor the works.
is responsible for review the progress, evaluate and approve the reports of the
water security plan submitted by the consultant. release of payments to the consultant as per the conditions of the contract on approval of the reports
Audit of accounts
ROLE OF STAKE HOLDERS
To extend all required support to the water security plan preparation consultant
Ensure that reports are prepared timely by the consultant
To ensure that the draft water security plan is presented before the GP council
for their information and awareness. ENSURE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE
SOURCES IN THE GP
2. ROLE OF GP/PRI
Provide available baseline data and other records collected regarding GP to the water security consultant for the preparation of Water Security Plan.
Provide the required field level facilitation support for the preparation of water security plan for ensuring the sustainability of all sources selected .
Motivating and supporting implementation of interventions proposed in the WSP
3. ROLE OF SO
Provide basic data of terrain of area Provide the required field level
facilitation support for the preparation of water security plan
Ensure that the source selected is sustainable by implementing the
interventions proposed in the WSP. Monitor the water quality and water
level so as to ensure sustainability
