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. www.justclimateaction.org Goal 2 INDIA@COP22 Promotion of citizen and state actions for water conservation, augmentation and 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 Promote participatory irrigation management 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 Sensitization of all Panchayati members and their functionaries in dark and grey blocks will be completed. www.justclimateaction.org Goal 2 • • • • • INDIA@COP22 MoU with Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai MoUs with National Institute of Rural Development &Panchayat Raj (NIRD & PR), Hyderabad, Institute of Water Management (ICAR), Bhubaneswar Partnership with CII-Triveni Water Institute Capacity building activities in association with CGWB, NWA, WALAMTARI (Hyd), NERIWALM, NIAR, Indira Gandhi Nahar Board, Rajasthan etc. www.justclimateaction.org INDIA@COP22 Goal 2 National Conventions of Water User Associations (WUA) on Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) was were organised at New Delhi, Aurangabad, Kurukshetra and Bangalore to discuss and identify the problems being faced by WUAs, with the overall objective of increasing water use efficiency in irrigation sector. Hon’ble Minister of Water Resources, RD & GR, Sushri Uma Bharati interacting with Water User Associations www.justclimateaction.org INDIA@COP22 Goal 3 Focused attention to vulnerable areas including over-exploited areas Strategies: • Systematic approach for coping with floods; • Expeditious implementation of water resources projects to benefit drought prone and rain deficit areas; • Intensive programme for ground water recharge in overexploited, critical and semi-critical areas; • Promotion of water purification and desalination; www.justclimateaction.org Goal 3 INDIA@COP22 • The pilot phase of the ground aquifer mapping project has been taken up by CGWB. Advanced geophysical investigation including Heliborne survey completed in all the six pilot areas. • Result of pilot studies will be used in operationalization of National Project on Aquifer Management (NAQUIM) to achieve 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. www.justclimateaction.org Goal 3 INDIA@COP22 • ADB has undertaken pilot project to demonstrate ‘Coping with flood’ through Community participation. The phase- I of the study has been completed and under the Phase- II, the BuriGandak sub-basin in Bihar and Brahamani basin in Odisha have been undertaken for detailed study. www.justclimateaction.org Goal 4 INDIA@COP22 Increasing water use efficiency by 20% • Promotion of water efficient techniques and technologies including promotion of micro irrigation techniques and drip irrigation. • Undertake Pilot projects for improvement in WUE in collaboration with States • Promote Water Regulatory Authorities for ensuring equitable water distribution and rational charges for water facilities • Incentives for water conservation & efficient use of water www.justclimateaction.org Goal 4 INDIA@COP22 • Initiatives taken up with BIS for water efficiency rating of various home appliances i.e washing machines, water taps, dish washers, bath showers, flushing cistern, water purifiers etc. • Baseline studies are being carried out for water use of water in irrigation, industry and domestic sectors. • A scoping study for a National Water Use Efficiency Improvement Support program for major /medium Irrigation schemes has been completed with technical assistance from Asian Development Bank(ADB). www.justclimateaction.org INDIA@COP22 Goal 5 Promotion of basin level Integrated Water Resources Management • National Water Policy reviewed to move towards basin managment and the revised Water Policy adopted in 2012. • Guidelines for efficient use of water in irrigation, drinking, industrial etc. particularly in context of basin wise situations. • Interlinking of rivers • Planning on the principle of integrated water resources development and management • Ensuring convergence among various water resources programmes www.justclimateaction.org Goal 5 INDIA@COP22 • Preparation of State Specific Action Plans on Climate Change for Water sector for all the States / UTs. • First Indo European Water Forum was organized by India's National Water Mission (NWM) in partnership with the European 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.
