Goal 1
INDIA@COP22
•
Reassessment of basin wise water situation
- The “Indian National Committee on Climate Change (INCCC)”, has initiated
research studies to assess impact of climate change on river basins of India by
downscaling global circulation models. Central Water Commission and National
Remote Sensing Centre have completed a joint pilot project in Godavari and
Brahmani – Baitarni Basins to assess basin scale mean annual water resources
using space inputs through hydrological modelling techniques.
-
The initial projections of the impact of climate change on water resources
including the likely changes in the water availability in time and space are
targeted.

preservation
•
•
•
•
Empowerment and involvement of Panchayati Raj Institutions, urban local
bodies, Water Users’ Associations and primary stake holders in management of
water resources with focus on water conservation, augmentation and
preservation

Involve and encourage corporate sector / industries to take up support and
promote water conservation, augmentation and preservation within the industry
and as part of corporate social responsibility

community based management of aquifers in priority areas like
over-exploited, critical, coastal, urban and hilly areas.
• The revised master plan for artificial recharge of groundwater has
been prepared and placed in public domain.

Commission in New Delhi on 23rd – 24th November 2015. The
Indo-European Water Forum aims to be a platform for policy
makers and stakeholders to discuss key issues surrounding water
resources management in India, as well as transferring lessons
learnt from the European Water Policy experience.
www.justclimateaction.org
INDIA@COP22
Approaches - Need for a Paradigm Shift
The challenges can only be met through a paradigm shift in the
management of water resources in India
• A move away from a narrowly engineering-centric approach to a
more multidisciplinary, participatory management approach
• Since groundwater accounts for nearly two-thirds of India’s
irrigation and 80 per cent of domestic water needs, need to
implement a participatory approach to sustainable management of
groundwater based on aquifer mapping.
www.justclimateaction.org
INDIA@COP22
Approaches - Need for a Paradigm Shift
•
•
•
•
•
Definite targets for recycling and reuse of water by Indian industry to move in
conformity with international standards
Renewed focus on non-structural mechanisms for flood management.
Vastly improved systems of water-related data collection and management as also
transparency in availability of data.
A new legal and institutional framework for water based on broader consensus
among the States.
Effective abatement of pollution and environmentally sustainable rejuvenation of
the river Ganga and other rivers
