The suggestions and views of the participants that emerged during the Consultation Meeting in respect of various aspects of water resources development and management are summarized as under.

Process of Review of National Water Policy

• In view of changing situations and scenario, especially the decreasing per capita availability of water, the water policy must be reviewed and modified. • For finalizing the new national water policy, each issue like drinking water, management of inter-state river waters and related disputes, erosion, and floods, water quality, depleting ground water, water use efficiency, maintenance of irrigation projects and other related issues may be taken up. • In the policy formulation, watershed should be highlighted as the unit of planning. • Implementation of the provisions in the Policy should be given importance.

Water Resources

• Water should be treated as a national resource, like oil. • Water should be treated as an infrastructural requirement, like electricity is for industry. • Some States suffer due to scarcity of water whereas some others suffer due to flood. In some States rainwater goes waste to the sea. Steps should be taken to make use of surplus flood water which goes waste.

Prioritization

• The first priority in the National Water Policy should be to provide safe drinking water to all. The projects in all States should give first priority to drinking water. Drinking water may be made available for human beings as well as animals. • Ecology and environment should be given second priority, after drinking water.

Constitutional and Legal Aspects

• Water should be brought in the Union List or Concurrent List. In particular, to address the various disputes related to water within the States and among the States, water should be brought in the Union or Concurrent list. • Water is getting scarce and as a policy water should be nationalized. All the rivers must be nationalized. • There should be strict laws to deal with water related issues. • Stringent laws should be made especially against industries which are polluting water. • Bye-laws of urban local bodies should provide that building plan would not be passed unless it includes harvesting of rainwater. • Wastage of water should be avoided and strict laws should be made in this regard. There should be penal provisions to deal with those who waste water. • Stringent laws should be made to ensure that urban sewage and industrial effluents must not be discharged in the river or in the ground water unless fully treated to the prescribed pollution standard. • Access to water sources should be made fundamental right. • All types of ponds and water bodies, both on public and private lands should be protected and preserved so that they are not sold, filled and used for commercial purposes.

• Central Government’s advisory role in water resources is not sufficient. Central Government should take over the authority on regulation and management of water. • All aspects of water such as irrigation, drinking water, waste water treatment, pollution of water, urban water, industrial water should be brought under one Ministry i.e. Ministry of Water Resources. • Ministry of Water Resources should be strengthened financially, legally and administratively so that it can finance small water related schemes as well.

Inter-State Issues

• Inter-state water disputes must be resolved because without resolving such disputes many water related issues cannot be addressed since it is observed that even for drinking water issues, there are interstate problems. • Unutilized and surplus water in any state must be diverted to the water deficit and drought prone areas of other States without difficulty. The Centre should have the power to pass orders in this regard.

Planning Process

• In view of likely acute water crisis in the years to come, urgent steps need to be taken to address the future challenges in water sector. • Problems related to floods, droughts, pollution etc. need to be planned in a comprehensive manner. It should be a joint process because water is needed everywhere, be it agriculture, industry etc. Hence a comprehensive planning process is necessary. • As per present policy, 75% dependability is the criteria for designing the reservoirs. Due to this consideration the availability of water for planning is assessed on lesser side. As a result, the actual available water cannot be utilized fully. Hence while designing the schemes, 50% dependable should be considered instead of 75% dependable flow. Water should be allowed to be stored and utilized from the origin to the end of water source. • The lift irrigation schemes do not work so well, especially in the hills because the lift is there but the canals are made in such a way that the water does not reach the fields. Such schemes should not be cleared.

Monitoring Process

• Mandatory six monthly environmental clearances from the central body for all industries using ground water resources and discharging effluents should be introduced. All industries that use ground water resources, or discharge effluent, even if it is through an effluent treatment plant, must take environmental clearance from a central body periodically.

Important Programmes

• Inter - linking of rivers programme should be undertaken to provide water to water deficient areas. • Programmes should be taken up for preventing pollution of surface water as well as ground water. There should be provisions in the policy for this. The self-purification process of rivers should be given due importance. • Old canal systems, particularly in Punjab should be modernized. • Prevention of land erosion should be given priority. • Flood management and welfare of people affected by floods should be given importance.

Management Strategies

• Participatory approach in the management of water is necessary otherwise implementation of all the policies that are proposed at the field level will remain on paper. • Judicious water utilization should be incentivized. Judicious use of water resources by farmers, as is done in industries or water credit on the lines of carbon credits should be introduced. • It should be ensured that the farmers get water for agricultural purposes. • Flood management should be given due importance. • Because of the deforestation, the silting of the reservoir is going on and there is land erosion affecting the fertile land. These should be taken care of. • Checking water pollution must be given importance because ground water, river water, surface water all are being polluted now. • Drought management is presently being given first priority, but it should be flood management that should be given first priority. If flood water is properly managed it could be used to deal with droughts as well. • Paddy cultivation should be only in Kharif season. It should be banned in Rabi season.

• Water footprint should be measured for every activity and every product and policy should be formulated accordingly. • Presently there are water user associations for tanks and canal systems in the villages, but there are no water user associations for groundwater augmentation and utilization. Therefore in every village, water user associations should be there for community based groundwater augmentation and utilization. There should be separate water user associations for groundwater augmentation and utilization. • Proper utilization of drinking water projects is a must. Presently we are not having proper utilization of the drinking water projects; tanks are being made and pipelines are being laid but they are not filling the water in that tank. So there should be proper implementation of the projects. • All areas which are being irrigated by bore well, open well or lift irrigation should be made to compulsorily use micro irrigation. Micro irrigation can be through drip or sprinkler. This will save enormous water, and productivity and quality will be boosted. • Water regulation committees should be instituted for regulating all sorts of water disputes within the district and regulating the ground water tapping, especially with respect to the soft drinks industries which utilize the water in an indiscriminate way. There is need to convey stringent message to regulate this, otherwise it will cause a big shortage of ground water. • People constructing houses on the canal banks should be strictly dealt with. • Out of MGNREGA Funds, at least 50% allocation should be made for water harvesting and repair and restoration of water bodies which contribute to water conservation, and groundwater augmentation.

Sustainability of Water Resources

• Necessary measures should be taken to prevent depletion of ground water. In a number of States ground water has completely depleted and hence attention should be paid to ground water. • Over exploitation of ground water should be prevented by strict laws / policy. There should be strict regulation of exploitation of ground water. • Rainwater harvesting should be made compulsory and strict laws should be passed in this regard and rainwater harvesting should be given importance in the water policy.

Augmentation of Utilizable Water Resources

• Roof top rain water harvesting should be introduced in construction of new buildings. • Rainwater harvesting and flood management should be given importance. Flood management should be planned for augmentation of utilizable water. • Sea water should be converted into drinking water and may be supplied to the respective States as well as States other than coastal States. A long- term planning may be made in this regard as this does not involve disputes associated with interlinking of rivers. • Rain water should be stored by constructing dams, check-dams, restoration of ponds etc. • Small check dams should be constructed in hilly areas for the purpose of storing rain water which can be utilized for irrigation and drinking purposes. • Recharging of groundwater in the hills is very essential. • Steps should be taken for conservation of water. If this is done effectively, we would be able to save at least 15% water. • Rain water which is abundant in Himachal Pradesh just flows away down the hills. Therefore, small check dams should be made to channelize these waters to come to the main dam so that the water can be used and even supplied to other states. If this water is preserved and conserved and kept in the lakes / ponds then it would be useful instead of it getting washed away. • In the last 20-40 years people have started moving away from traditional water conservation practices. Water conservation should be encouraged and there should be major concentration for water harvesting in every project. In both government buildings and private buildings, it should be made compulsory to have rainwater harvesting.

Other Important Issues

• Rain water has reduced and become erratic because of the cutting of forests. The main reason is that when dams are made, our forest cover gets submerged by water and no re-plantation is being done. So whenever any such projects are undertaken, the re-plantation should be done before the construction of the dam. • Erosion of river banks, particularly for river Ganga and Brahmaputra, contamination of groundwater, particularly arsenic contamination, siltation

of river beds are some very important issues and need to be addressed on priority. • Illicit sand mining is taking place in the river beds because of which the water level is going down. Moreover we are not able to get good water because when the sand is there, the water is safe and pollution can be controlled. But because of the illicit mining of sand, water gets polluted and we are not able to get good water. Hence illicit sand mining should be banned. • The catchment areas of lakes are being exploited by miners. Mining is going on in all the catchment areas of important lakes of Rajasthan and all the water which should be coming to the lakes is now not coming in. This should be banned totally and the catchment areas of lakes / ponds should be earmarked. • Big trees should be planted in place of small bushes under the afforestation programme.

Need for Awareness

• Steps should be taken to make our people aware about the scarcity value of water in our country. • Importance of water conservation, prevention of wastage, efficient use of water and ecology / environment should be included in the curriculum of our schools to increase awareness among students.

The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the Chair.

ADDRESS AND VIEWS OF THE PARTICIPANTS DURING THE CONSULTATION MEETING WITH POLICY MAKERS FOR REVIEW OF NATIONAL WATER POLICY HELD ON 28.7.2010.

Address of Shri Pawan Kumar Bansal Hon’ble Union Minister for Water Resources

My esteemed colleague Shri Vincent Pala, Minister of State for Water Resources, Secretary Water Resources, Chairman Central Water Commission, Chairman Central Ground Water Board, Hon’ble Members of the Standing Committee on Water Resources, Members of the Consultative Committee attached to the Ministry of Water Resources, Members of the Parliamentary Forum on Water Conservation and Management, Officers of the Ministry of Water Resources, and Friends. I welcome you all to this special meeting that we have convened as the part of our consultation process to review the National Water Policy and work for drafting a new water policy for the country. As you are all aware the issues related to water resources in the country pose many challenges and many issues before us. These include the increasingly depleting resources, reducing per capita availability of water, deterioration in water quality, over-exploitation of groundwater resources, time and cost overruns in completion of irrigation and multipurpose projects, poor maintenance of existing facilities, etc. We have to also appropriately address the national disasters related to water that is the floods and droughts which hit different parts of the country at one time or the other. The large temporal and spatial variation adds to the complexity of the problems in our country. Further, the food security and the impact of climate change are two serious challenges that require to be addressed. Water as we all appreciate is central to both these challenges. The objective of food security cannot be achieved without water security. Various studies point towards the impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle which could result in intensification of the temporal and spatial variations in availability of water. National Action Plan on Climate Change has been launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister which envisages institutionalization of eight National Missions including the National Water Mission. Ministry of Water Resources in consultation with the stakeholders including the States and various NGOs has framed the National Water Mission document which was considered by the Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change and there was more or less a broad agreement thereon. There were some observations which we are trying to address and fine tune the document.

As you all know the issues related to water are very complex, on the one hand water resource is undoubtedly an important vehicle for development, but on the other hand is also a social need. We have to strike a proper balance between the two. The mid-term appraisal document which was discussed only a few days back by the National Development Council very rightly emphasizes on the need of taking up with all seriousness various issues related to water and the Hon’ble Prime Minister categorically stated that we do need to do more to manage our water resources and also to increase efficiency of water use. Almost all the participants at the NDC meeting highlighted the importance of water issues.

We have to adopt a comprehensive approach for planning the development and management of water resources and the objective of comprehensive and integrated planning for development and management of water resources can be achieved only when all sections of the society join hands. It is in that direction that we first thought of having this meeting here in which we have invited the Members of the Consultative Committee, Members of the Standing Committee, and Members of the Parliamentary Forum on Water Conservation and Management and I thank you all for responding to our invitation to be here today. I am sure that with your experience, the contribution that you would make would certainly go indeed a very long way in enabling us to formulate our views further. After we have had this meeting with you, we would like to interact with various NGOs who have expertise in the field, who have worked in the matters related to water, various experts, academia, and wherever we can in fact look for, for some inputs into framing of the National Water Policy which indeed is got to be a very important document along with the National Water Mission. With these words only, I would once again thank you all and I would first request my colleague, Shri Vincent Pala to give his views on this.

Address of Shri Vincent H. Pala, Hon’ble Minister of State for Water Resources

Thank you Sir, Hon’ble Minister of Water Resources, Hon’ble Members of Parliament, Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources, Senior Officers from Ministry of Water Resources and other Ministries, ladies and gentleman. I welcome all of you to this important Consultation Meeting on review of the National Water Policy. The National Water Policy was initially adopted by the National Water Resources Council in its second meeting held on 9th September 1987 and subsequently the revised National Water Policy was adopted by the National Water Resources Council during its fifth meeting held on the 1st April 2002. In

10 the meanwhile, several States have also formulated and adopted State Water Policy. In view of the fast changing scenario in respect of increasing demand for water for various purposes and the emerging challenges, there is an urgent need for ensuring sustainable development of the available resources and their efficient management. There are suggestions from various quarters related to management of water resources. Further, the National Action Plan on Climate Change launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister in June 2008 also envisages that the National Water Policy would be revisited for ensuring appropriate management strategies to deal with the variability in the rainfall and river flows due to climate change and that this would include enhanced storage both above and below ground rainwater harvesting coupled with equitable and efficient management structures. As already highlighted by the Hon’ble Minister of Water Resources, there is urgent need to take up necessary measures for optimal utilization of the available water resources with due consideration to the sustainability, apart from taking up necessary measures for comprehensive and integrated development of available resources. Water management strategies are required to be carefully designed so that they lead to overall development of the country benefitting each and every members of the society.

We need local and distributed water resources infrastructure, all sections of the society have to join hands and contribute to address the challenges in the water sector, be it central government, state governments, panchayati raj institutions, urban local bodies, industrial houses, civil societies, or any stakeholder and achieving to the objectives of meeting the demand for clean water for domestic purposes, developing sustainable infrastructure for irrigation, and all other purposes. While doing so, it is necessary to ensure that the environmental issues are adequately addressed. The water resources sector has relatively very large and varied stakeholders. As a matter of fact, each and every citizen is a stakeholder. Very often we also come across conflicting situations. Therefore, it is necessary to have a wide ranging consultation with a view to identify most appropriate strategies for addressing the water related issues. I am confident that today’s Consultation Meeting with Policy Makers will help us in firming up the views of different issues and in identifying the most appropriate approaches to address the complex issues of water resources. Without taking much of your time, I look forward for guidance and valuable suggestions from the participants. Thank you.

Address and Presentation by Shri U. N. Panjiar, Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources

Hon’ble Minister of Water Resources, Hon’ble Minister of State for Water Resources, Hon’ble Members of Parliament, my colleagues in the Ministry of Water Resources, and other Ministries of Government of India. I will make a brief presentation highlighting the salient features of National Water Policy and the views that have emerged from time-to-time in respect of review of the policy. The National Water Policy, as mentioned by Hon’ble Minister of State, was initially adopted in 1987 which was subsequently revised. The revised policy was adopted by the National Water Resources Council chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister during its fifth meeting held on 1st of April 2002. The salient features of the National Water Policy 2002 are highlighted in the background note that we have circulated and a copy of the policy is also annexed with the background note. As per the policy, water is a precious national resource, for optimal benefits the management of water resources has to be made on the basis of hydrological unit by adopting an integrated multidisciplinary and participatory approach. First priority has been assigned to drinking water followed by irrigation, hydropower, ecology, agro-industries, and non-agro industries and then other uses in that order. The National Water Policy emphasizes on groundwater development with reference to the recharge possibilities and consideration of social equity. Simultaneously, due emphasis has been laid on traditional water conservation practices and rainwater harvesting including rooftop rainwater harvesting. The policy highlights the need of physical and financial sustainability of facilities created for water resource utilization. The policy also encourages private sector participation with the objective of resource mobilization and introducing of innovative ideas. The establishment of well developed information system for water related data has also been highlighted in the National Water Policy. A web enabled groundwater information system has already been developed by the Central Groundwater Board and put on the web site. Similarly, the development of water resources information system as a whole is being jointly developed by Central Water Commission and the Department of Space. This is in progress and is likely to be launched by the end of this year. National Water Policy has also envisaged formulation of State Water Policies. So far 11 states namely Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh have adopted the State Water Policy and the Union Territories of Delhi, Daman and Diu, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli have adopted the National Water Policy. Other states and union territories are in the process of formulation or adoption of the State Water Policy.

Sir, I would now like to briefly mention about the overview of the water resources availability in India. Average annual rainfall in the country is about 1170 milli meters. In volumetric terms, the total precipitation works out to be about 4000 billion cubic meters, after accounting for the losses due to evaporation, the average annual water availability for the country has been estimated at 1869 billion cubic meters, however, in view of hydrological characteristics and topographical constraints, the utilizable water has been worked out to be only of the order of 1123 billion cubic meters which comprises 690 billion cubic meters of surface water and 433 billion cubic meters of replenishable groundwater. Sir, in view of increasing population, industrial growth, and urbanization, the demand for water for various sectors is increasing over the years and it has been estimated that as per the existing practice of water use by the year 2050, the overall demand for water resources will be around 1447 billion cubic meters which will be much larger than the water availability of 1123 billion cubic meters. However, with adoption of improved efficiency and better management practices, the overall demand of water can be considerably brought down. The National Commission on Integrated Water Resources Development has projected that the overall demand could be about 1180 billion cubic meters by the year 2050; even this demand is slightly more than the assessed utilizable water that is 1123 billion cubic meters. Therefore, there is an urgent need for adoption of better management practices. It may be mentioned that considerable achievements have been made in water sector.

I would like to mention about irrigation development and about drinking water. Against the ultimate irrigation potential of 140 million hectares, the irrigation potential of about 108 million hectares has so far been created. At present about 96% of urban population and 73% of rural habitations are covered through safe drinking water. However, future development is more challenging in view of very high spatial and temporal variation in rainfall which was mentioned by Hon’ble Minister and the fact that easier and best options and best sites of water resources has since already been tapped. Further, in view of increased demand for various sectors, we are bound to address relatively large number of conflicting situations. As we are fully aware we have to amicably address the interstate issues as many projects are delayed in view of amicable solution to the interstate issues. As already mentioned by the Hon’ble Minister, we face many challenges in the water sector in the form of reducing per capita availability of water due to increasing population, deterioration in quality, over-exploitation of groundwater resources leading to decline in the groundwater table in some cases, suboptimal utilization of the created infrastructure and relatively low

efficiency of the facilities for water utilization. Further, like all other countries particularly the developing countries, two very serious challenges of food security and likely impact of climate change on water resources are required to be addressed. Water is central to both the challenges.

Sir, we have many guiding sources and valuable suggestions in respect of water issues in the form of statements of Her Excellency, President of India and the Hon’ble Prime Minister. Further, water related issues have also been discussed in various government documents and policies like National Environmental Policy 2006, National Policy for Farmers 2007, The 11th Five Year Plan 2007-2012 and the National Action Plan on Climate Change 2008. Similarly, various suggestions have also been made in reports brought out by various organizations on water related issues. NGOs and professional organizations have also conveyed their views from time-to-time. We have made an effort to compile the important views in the background note. We also held consultations with State Governments during the last meeting of National Water Board and some of the suggestions which have emerged during the meetings of National Water Board have been included in the background note. Recently, the commission on Central State Relations has submitted its recommendations and the report. The report also includes some important suggestions related to water resources. Various suggestions have been included in the background note in detail.

Sir, some of the important issues that have emerged from the suggestions made by various organizations, experts, etc. include the following.

• Emphasis on demand management and planning • In allocation, of water life support requirement to get first priority, livelihood next, followed by environment and ecology and everything else should come afterwards • Thorough examination of all the alternatives in project planning and implementation • Integration of command area development with water resources projects • Ensure physical sustainability of water resources particularly the groundwater resources

Some other important issues which also need consideration and which have come in the form of different suggestions include the following.

• Establishment of independent water regulatory authority by State Governments • Improvement in water use efficiency • Adoption of efficient water application practices particularly in micro-irrigation and creation of a bureau of water efficiency • Review of the interstate water Dispute Act and the River Board Act to make them more effective • Enactment of an overarching water act to signal water sector as an important policy priority • Establishment of a National Water Management Authority including the States

Sir, these are the various suggestions which have come from various sectors, various organizations, NGOs, civil society and others. Sir, I look forward for valuable suggestions from the Hon’ble members which will form the basis for conducting the exercise for revision of National Policy. Thank you Sir.

Bijoya Chakravarty, Hon’ble Member of Parliament and former Minister of State for Water Resources:

Thank you. Hon’ble Water Resources Minister, Minister of State for Water Resources, and Hon’ble Members of the Parliament and all the staff and Secretary of the Water Resources Ministry and the NGOs. Sir I am thankful to you. Main point is this that water is no more available as a free commodity and we have to buy the bottle. It is reasonable with us and we are making dams and all these things to get water to get power. Sir, major point is this that this National Water Policy that is made in 2002, we have to work a lot for this policy but no policy can be static. So for changing situations, changing scenario, Sir policy must be changed and it must be changed for good, and one point I need to emphasize here that is that according to Constitution, the seventh schedule of the Constitution, Article 246 in Union list, the water ways is there, tidal water, marine regulation, interstate rivers, river valleys, and other water not listed in State list. So as such there is enough Union Government Ministry can deal with water according to its vision and policy, and another point; flood, drought, pollution and adulteration needs to be planned together. It should be a joint process because water is needed everywhere, be it agriculture, be it industry and be it anything but water is needed. So comprehensive policy is necessary; and my third point is that the data bank on all kinds of water resources available as real time to all stakeholders is the need of the hour and secondly here I have seen its monitoring is referred and regarding regulatory process, it is also referred here. So I feel that it should be dealt through central government, not only through states then it will be a problem. Regarding international water, we

have got international borders, Tibet is an international water-shed since its ten river systems supply water to 11 downstream nations from Pakistan to Myanmar to Thailand.

Our national laws and regulations need to be in symbolic tuning and moreover we have created small states without considering river and waters, we have got problem. So I want to mention that there is Godavari river, so before creating states, the water policy should be made with the different rivers. So in this aspect I would like to make a point to ponder over, it appears that control of our water resources, glaciers etc. is one of the primary calculation in China and Pakistan. To leave the future generation of billions of thirsty Indians struggling to access to water resources by the threat of losing control over most of this Kashmir and Tibet would be a pure disaster for the nation, so while making water resource policy this must be considered, this is my request. Only two more lines I will make, in this case coordination between Ministry of Water Resource, ISRO, and Ministry of Environment is necessary. A dedicated strategy should be made in this regard. I feel that river link should not be forgotten and participatory approach is necessary, otherwise all the policies that is proposed to be made will be hindered. I hope with great enthusiasm Minister has requested us to come here, I hope with his sincerity we will get a good Water Resource Policy. Thank you. Address of Smt. Annu Tandon, Hon’ble Member of Parliament: Thank You very much Sir.

management on a faster track than trying to rebuilt something. Mandatory six months environmental clearance is something that I am suggesting from the central body for all industries using ground water resources and discharging effluent.

All industries that use ground water resources, or discharge effluent, even if it is through an effluent treatment plant must take environmental clearance from a central body within six months this is something, because otherwise it has become completely open, there is no control. Immediate low cost beginning for facilitating irrigation which is requirement of 70% of our population, restoring old canals which I mentioned earlier. Now something that I have mentioned earlier also, flood management is of no consequence if we are not harvesting the excess water, we are talking of flood management but there is no direct interconnection with actually harnessing the water conserving it or increasing our ground water level. ¾ÖÖê ¯ÖÖ−Öß ¾ÖêÃ™ü ÆüÖê •ÖÖŸÖÖ Æîü, ¾ÖÖê ÖµÖÖ ŸÖÖê cs †Öò±ú ²ÖÓÖÖ»Ö ´Öë ÖµÖÖ, †Öî¸ü ÖŸ´Ö, ÖÓÖÖ •Öß úÖ ¯ÖÖ−Öß ÖµÖÖ, ¾ÖêÃ™ü ÆüÖê ÖµÖÖ, †³Öß ²ÖÖœÍü úÖ ´ÖÖîÃÖ´Ö †Ö ¸üÆüÖ Æîü ˆ¢Ö¸ü ¯ÖÏ¤êü¿Ö ´Öë ‡ÃÖ×»Ö‹ µÖê ²ÖÖŸÖ úÆü ¸üÆüß ÆæÓü … ÃÖ¸ü ú−Œ»Öæ›ü ú¸ü−Öê ´Öë ´Öï 5 ¯¾ÖÖ‡Ó™ËüÃÖ ×ÃÖ±Ôú ²ÖÖê»ÖŸÖß ÆæÓü, ×¸üŒ¾ÖêÃ™ü Æîü µÖê : Water be treated as a national resource, exactly like at par with say probably oil. Water be treated as an infrastructural requirement, like electricity is for industry, water should be like for agricultural industry. Water should be brought into Union list. I think we have dealt enough by putting it in the State list or I don’t think so Concurrent list is also good enough, it should be in the Union list and last and not the least, all issues will be resolved, be it inter-state, be it inter-department, be it individual issues, all aspects of water which is at the moment relating to various Ministries be it rural development etc. etc., they should be all brought under one Ministry which is the Water Resources Ministry, otherwise we will not be able to make the right control. Thank you.

Address of Dr Rajaiah Siricilla, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

Thank you Sir, good evening to everybody. Sir, see as we know the water is the costliest natural resource, fortunately we have got enough rainfall in our country. Being an agricultural country we require badly the water. Most of the water almost 85% of it is going waste to the sea. Only 10-15% we are utilizing and there are several disputes on the sharing of water within the states and outside the States. So in order to sort out all these things it is better to have this, earlier it was in the State list, now also it is in the State list. It is better to bring it to the Union list so as to solve the several problems. Thank you.

Address of Shri. Paban Singh Ghatowar, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

Thank you Sir, my first question will be whether we have made our population aware about the scarcity of water in our country. What steps are we taking? And what are the highlights in our water policy, because we have to make our people aware of the scarcity of the water. Number two, Sir the water policy is the foundation of our food security so we have to think about that also. Number three, the flood, the silting of our fertile land because of the deforestation. The silting of our fertile land is going on, and erosion. Only in Assam we have lost since Independence 1 lakh 25 thousand of land in the erosion. That is one problem and the climatic diversity of our country, in Rajasthan we have 100 mm water rainfall, in my side in Cherrapunji 10,000 mm rainfall we are having and in Cherrapunji Sir you will be surprised that 3 months, 4 months there is a scarcity of drinking water, so water harvesting. I think these are the main things in our

water policy that has to be looked after. In a brief time, it will be very difficult to explain everything but I think these are the major, I personally feel these are the major issue that has to be addressed in our water policy. Thank you Sir.

Address of Dr. Prabha Kishor Taviad, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

Thank you Sir, my suggestion is national water policy mein first thing is the safe drinking water, we are having so many projects in the states, so that project should be such that we should have a priority for the drinking water. Sir, if you will see the irrigation map of Gujarat, the whole tribal belt is left out so we are facing as such. The catchment area is a tribal hilly area and hilly area is inhabited by the tribals and these tribals are facing the problem drinking water. Sir, recently we were all the time having a crave, we were crying for the water and the administration were not listening to us and we had a very bad water pollution problem in Jhalod nearby Rajasthan, we had about, more than 500 people affected and 3-4 lives were lost but Sir, we are just 30 km away from Kadana dam and we are not having that project of drinking water to each and every village. We are having a project Bhanesmal Pani Purvath Ayojna but they are not utilizing this. My point is that they are not having a proper utilization of that drinking water project, they are making the tanks, they are making the pipelines, they are going to the villages but they are not filling the water in that tank. Four- Five years have passed and they are not doing anything. So proper implementation of the project and first priority for the drinking water Sir. I will agree with the rainwater harvesting and flood management. Flood management

Address of Dr. M. Thambidurai, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

Thank you Minister Sir, at the outset you have already said we have to be very brief and that time is very limited. As you suggested, we have to meet often and discuss this matter, national water policy because we have to take more serious issues in this. Therefore, first I will request you please call the meetings often we can have more discussion, because within 3-4 minutes it is not sufficient to discuss this very important topic Sir. As many members said, water is getting scarce and also as a policy as some members suggested the water can be as a national resources that means nationalized. All the rivers must be nationalized and at the national level, the policy must talk about the water of this country. As told this will be a nationalized thing, as central government is dealing, the same way the water must be taken to central list and this is the priority that has to be done. As I said, rivers must also be nationalized. The other thing sir, we want apart from the drinking water is more important. Most of the rivers not only ground water, river water, surface water all are polluted now. Pollution is because of so many reasons, that the rivers are polluted, that has to be controlled and that is very important because we want good drinking water. How to avoid pollution is very important, that national policy because I have read many places they have mentioned because of the excessive use of chemicals and fertilizers and pesticides, the ground water is all polluted and also the untreated sewage there are in the urban areas they are letting in the rivers that also cause for the pollution. Therefore we have to make stringent laws that especially that sewage water and industrial polluted wastages effluents must not be discharged in the river, this is very important Sir. And also Sir, without discussing interstate water dispute, we cannot solve certain things because even for drinking water we see that we have to solve interstate problems. Now in Tamil Nadu not only Rajasthan and Bundelkhand, they said they are facing scarcity of drinking water problem. Even we are only depending on the river Cauvery that also we are facing the dispute. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu we are all facing this problem as they are facing. Even if you take Pennar, South Pennar it originates from Karnataka, that water is also completely polluted. In Bengaluru city therefore the water, whatever the lower level, we are all seeing that we are not able to get the good water that also completely polluted. Therefore, unless

you take the interstate disputes, we cannot solve it. Even the rivers if you take, illicit sand mining is taking place, because of this illicit sand mining, the water level is going down and also we are not able to get the good water because when the sand is there, the water is safe and the pollution can be controlled and we are getting good water but because of the illicit mining of the sand, most of the rivers they are doing, because of that water is at polluted condition we are not able to get good water.

Drinking water is as important as others because even as Members have shown, we are getting only bottled waters which are protected otherwise when we are outside we are not able to get good water that is the stage, because the water price we are paying even for one liter is Rs 15, but the milk if you see we are getting at Rs 10 we are getting in our state, Rs 10-12 therefore the water is more costly than the milk, whatever we are facing in our place. Therefore, what I am requesting you we have to give more attention to the drinking water problem especially pollution must be stopped in river water. At the same time we have to stop the interstate river disputes where we have to get the link, example we have taken Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri district we are fully dependent on the river water of Cauvery but we are not able to implement the Hogenakkal drinking project because of the water dispute. As you said when we are meeting often we have different topics regarding the interstate disputes and drinking water problems. So many topics we can discuss from different sides and on different occasions.

Address of Shri K.J.K. Riteesh Sivakumar, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

Good evening to all, respected our Hon’ble Minister and my colleagues, I would like to suggest one important aspect to be included in the policy. Water is a national resource. As we all know well, some states are suffering without water, and in some states due to heavy rain water run and mix in the sea. We should take some steps to make use of the wasting water. Secondly, unutilized and surplus water in any state must be diverted into the near drought prone area of the other states without difficulty. The center should have the power to pass order. Thank you very much.

Address of Shri P.K. Biju, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

Thank you Hon’ble Minister, I have few points to add in this discussion. We are reviewing the national water policy. We are facing certain lacuna for implementing the water policy in our country so I have certain suggestion to

develop this policy framework. So first of all, I think there is a committee in the district level. Water control committee should be instituted for regulating all sort of water dispute within the district and regulating the ground water tapping, particularly for example the soft drinking industry utilizes the water in an enormous way. So we should pass a stringent message to regulate this, otherwise it will become a big shortage in our ground water level, and also we introduce the rain water harvesting and roof top rain water harvesting mechanism should be introduced in construction of new buildings. And the third one, protect all types of ponds, and water resources and not only in the public land, it should be introduced in the private lands also. We have seen so many problems in the States. The private land owner is filling the ponds and selling that particular land for their commercial purposes, we should avoid such circumstances and my last point is that steps be taken to adopt a safe drinking pattern, which is a fundamental right in our country. The UNO is going in such a direction so our country should take this in a serious manner. Thank you very much.

Address of Shri. S.P.Y. Reddy, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

I will be very brief and pointed. In every village water user association should be there for groundwater augmentation and utilization. Now there are water user association for tanks and canal system. I want a separate water user association for groundwater augmentation and utilization, this is a must Sir. Second, all areas which are being irrigated by borewell, open well or lift irrigation should be made compulsory under micro irrigation. Micro irrigation means it can be drip or sprinkler, Sir this will save enourmous water and productivity boosted, quality boosted. Take an example, now technology is advanced so much, even India has advanced technology today, definitely what we are anticipating difficulties in 2050 they can disappear once you adopt micro-irrigation in a large scale. Sir third point, access to water sources should be made fundamental right. I will explain you Sir, you are crossing a river, water is flow in the river, but very adjacent to the river crops are wearing away, the reason is that the person who is way adjacent to the river will not allow the pipes to pass route to the upper fields. Sir, please make it a rule that access to water sources is a fundamental right to everybody. Fourth I want Sir, now Mahatma Gandhi NREGA Funds have come, make it at least 50% allocation to water harvesting, repair, restoration of water bodies related to water conservation, for groundwater augmentation you allocate 50% of NREGA Funds which will be really beneficial for groundwater. Next, sir paddy cultivation in Rabi season, Kharif we encourage, but Rabi that is December to April, it should be banned Sir, paddy cultivation should be only in Kharif, rain supplement. It should be banned in Rabi. Last one, mineral water

Sir, now the technology is so advanced and the cost have gone so much down every day, it is hardly costing you 2 paisa Sir. In my constituency I am putting mineral water plant to every village Sir. Every poor man also should drink Bisleri water, not only rich man, a poor man should also drink because health is important to everybody. That is all. Thank you Sir.

Address of Smt. Chandresh Kumari Katoch, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

Thank you Sir, thank you for calling us all here Sir and all my colleagues and members of the department. I just want to make two or three points, and I will make it very short. One thing is Sir, I have noticed that in these last 20-40 years that I have been in politics people have started moving away from traditional water conservation projects, what they used to do before? They used to conserve the water and use it, but that has been now completely been ignored, so I would request that it should be encouraged and major concentration should be there for water harvesting in every projects, even the projects which government makes, government buildings, private buildings, it should become compulsory that they should have water harvesting.

Number 2 Sir, that the catchment areas of lakes are being exploited by miners. Mining is going on in all the catchment areas of important lakes of Rajasthan and all the water which should be coming to the lakes is now not coming in, so that should be banned totally and the area should be marked off. Thirdly Sir, because I represented two states Himachal and one I am now representing Rajasthan. In Himachal I have noticed that rain water has become less is because the exploitation of forests and mainly the reason is that when you make dams all our forest cover gets covered by water and no replantation is being done. So any such projects when they do it, the replantation should be there before they start constructing a dam and besides I agree hundred per cent with Kashyap Ji that the water, rain water which is coming in abundant amount in Himachal gets just washed away down the hills. So small check dams should be made to channelize these waters to come to the main dam so that the water can be supplied to other States, like from Himachal the water is going to Rajasthan for drinking water so if this water is preserved and conserved and kept in the lakes then it would help instead of it getting washed away. Besides on the floods also we have to take great notice especially in Rajasthan which has taken place just now in Jaisalmer. The water which comes which is very precious to those areas gets evaporated and we have no use of it so all these things have to be taken into consideration and I would also request in the last that stringent laws

should be made for people who are polluting any form of drinking water, especially industries and factories which are polluting the water and people are being deprived from drinking water because it is criminal because if they drink that water they can even die. So these are the few suggestions which I wanted to bring to you notice Sir. The last point which I wanted to bring here is that many places I have noticed that in lift irrigation schemes which they have given, the lift irrigation scheme does not work so well, especially in the hills because the lift is there but the canals are made in such a way that the water does not reach the fields. So those sort of schemes should not be passed and also people are building, constructing houses on the canals that are there, anyone who does that they should be strictly dealt with. Thank you Sir.

As per present policy, 75% dependability is the criteria for designing the dams. Due to this consideration the availability of water to the water account of the schemes appears to be on lesser side. As a result, in spite of actual availability of water in the downstream basin, if does not result of the record and hence government cannot extend the rights of people in the downstreams area. For this particular reason I would like to suggest that while designing the schemes dependability be considered as 50% instead of 75%. Water should be allowed to store and utilize from the origin to the end of water source. Regarding this issue, in the legislative assembly of Maharashtra State in the year 1960, then M.L.A Shri Shri N. M. Sonawane from Buglan in Nasik District had raised this issue and accordingly to study this issue four Committees were setup, one Barve Committee, second Sukhatunkar Committee, third Dandekar Committee, and fourth Dutta Deshmukh Committee. All these experts of the Committees after extensive study of the subject had offered the following recommendation, one the dam should be designed on the basis of 50% dependability criteria and second the additional water that will be available due to 50% dependability be diverted or used to percolation tanks, K.T. Weir, M.I. tanks, water storage tanks through canals. This would help to eliminate the issue of raising the height of dam, second rehabilitation and land acquisition will be ruled out, no compensation will be required and people around this canal scheme would be benefited.

The second point is Sir, I would like to invite your kind attention to the injustice people are facing in my Lok Sabha constituency, Nasik and Dhule district. Government of Maharashtra had issued a notification prohibiting the people from Satana, Malegaon, Dhule, Sindkheda Taluka in Nasik and Dhule district to conserve and use the water in downstream areas of the dams. Due to this notification the farmers in this particular area are deprived of their right of storing and consuming the water. This notification is unjustified and requires to be withdrawn to provide the natural justice. I therefore earnestly and humbly request you to cancel this notification. At last I would like to suggest that water

being an important issue it needs to be dealt with seriously and on top priority with general consensus.

Address of Dr. Sucharu Ranjan Halder, Hon’ble Member of Parliament:

That is the point, with due respect to everybody, we have come here to review the national water policy enacted on April 2002 and that we should have taken at the outset, so that we could have discussed point by point, what are the points policy has been made, how much has been implemented, how much has been progressed, then other members should have been allowed to tell their local problems. Anyway, the problems are mainly discussed on drinking water that is the main thing, but there are other problems, definitely drinking water is the foremost point definitely one must discuss, but there are other points like water resources, erosion, contamination, flood. We have skipped all these points, that is why I request you that we should have far more frequent conferences like this so that we can discuss and monitor the policy, the water resource policy and do something effective, otherwise I don’t think these conferences produce any outcome. On April 2002, you have enacted the policy and this is 2010, we do not know how much progress we have done.

Anyway, when everybody is discussing their local problems, I represent a constituency which is suffering from Ganges erosion, which is suffering from arsenic pollution, which is suffering from silted river, no protection from the erosion of the Ganges. I have also put 377 to you, you have replied well, but you passed on the responsibility to the State Government, that is absolutely disappointing. This should be taken as a national problem, because comprehensive plan, my constituency it is a pilgrimage site, Navadweep is a world famous pilgrimage place, Navadweep to Kalyani a perennial problem is erosion, erosion, erosion. People who are mostly scheduled caste, scheduled

tribes they are losing their lands, becoming from land owner to landless labourers. For years together, nothing has been done, that is the problem.

This problem, erosion, and silting of the river. On the eastern side there is another river that is Ichamati, water is not supplied by Bangladesh it is coming through one branch of Padma that is Mathabhanga and they are not supplying any water and the Ichamati river is dying. So one side is erosion, one side is dead river and in the center is the arsenic pollution. I am trying my best to implement some arsenic free drinking water plant from my MPLAD. This year I have put some 55 tubewells for the drinking water, but that is quite insufficient for the whole constituency. So all this could have been covered if the national water policy was discussed from point to point because in the policy everything is there, drinking water, irrigation, water zoning, erosion, flood control everything is there, so we could have covered the problems facing in our constituencies. That is why in future we should first give importance to our agenda and how much we have done, how much is to be done, then other problems should be discussed. That is all for the day, thanking you.

Shri Pawan Kumar Bansal:-

Members I thank you all once again for responding to our request and coming here spending this much time with us and giving very valuable suggestions on various important points, I appreciate concerns expressed by you on water related issues and interest that you have evinced in addressing those issues. Being one of you, I am aware of the fact that Members of Parliament represent and give vent to the needs, feelings, aspirations, and yearnings of the people and therefore, it was but appropriate that we have this exercise while we undertake the drafting of the new water policy. As I said earlier, this is part of a bigger exercise in which we would like to discuss this matter with experts with academia with NGOs and others and also organize a national workshop thereon. From time to time when any exercise is conducted I can assure you we would like to keep you informed about it and seek your valuable suggestions from time to time.

As I said, it is not just one meeting. Subject to your convenience, even a smaller number of Honorable Members responding to our request, we would like to thrash out this issue in detail because that would only help us in formulating the draft of the new policy. I can assure you Dr. Halder that contrary to what you said every word which has been said here would be of utmost importance to us. I attach full importance to this conference today and I think we have got many-

41 many valuable suggestions, and it would not go waste, it is not just an exercise in futility. Maybe we have not discussed many-many issues which are there in the existing policy, well there was the paucity of time. You had sent a suggestion that we take up every point, but then the Honorable Members making the points, did choose the points on which they wanted to emphasize, on which they wanted to lay emphasis and the points have been indeed very well made. We have taken full note of every point that has been made.

I apologize if any Honorable Member could not have full time to speak, but I again feel that many-many valuable suggestions have come, and I know that you are, because of the vast experience that you have, you are in a position to give us many-many more suggestions. I am deliberately not referring to any point made by any Honorable Members because that would take more time than all of you have taken. There were valuable suggestions and in case you feel, henceforth, you have right now, if you have some points, as Shri Sonawane said, you may kindly send us those in writing also and also when we organize any workshops etc. We have decided to put all the related documents and the proceedings on the website of the Ministry of Water Resources which you can access and then also give us your necessary inputs thereon. All this would indeed go a long way as I said in helping us to draft the policy. We are also in the process of, since as I said it is a very complex and sensitive issue, at times water acquires a very-very sensitive nature, therefore it is necessary that all the points as to how do we conserve, how do we bring about efficiency in the water, how do we solve various problems which have the potential of exploding into major problems thereafter, how do we look into all those matters, what are the priorities that we fix for ourselves in the utilization of water, those would all be addressed and I would request all of you to kindly respond to our various, I would try to write to you from time to time, as to what has been done and would certainly welcome if you respond thereto. Finally, I thank you once again, for a very-very fruitful and rewarding discussion that we have had.
