Understanding Conflicts around intro Domestic Water and Sanitation in India K. J. Joy, Suhas Paranjape, Sarita Bhagat and Shruti Vispute Water is an integral constituent and a fundamental and vital requirement of all living creatures. For human societies, water fulfils a variety of domestic, agricultural, industrial and socio-cultural needs, maintains and nurtures ecosystems, and provides a source of livelihood for a large majority of people. On the earth, water is abundant in its various forms like seawater and ice, but the amount of available freshwater is a tiny proportion of the total water on earth. Humans, land animals and plants depend on this freshwater for their needs. However, the availability of freshwater is not uniform, and the complex interactions of diverse needs, demands and availability for human and other life forms leads to various kinds of disputes and conflicts. CONFLICTS AROUND DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION Water is a common pool resource used for different purposes. However, while it is a common pool resource it is utilised individually, and unlike a public good where the same good may be enjoyed by many people simultaneously without reducing its availability, in most of its uses, the same unit of water cannot be used simultaneously by two users; a unit used by one user makes it unavailable or reduces its availability for another user. This makes for a situation where there are various kinds of conflicts over water. The Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India (hereafter Forum) has been working since 2003 on documenting water conflicts across India.1 In the course of this documentation, the Forum has also developed a broad typology of water conflicts (Joy et al. 2008). This typology covers almost all kinds of conflicts over water, from trans-boundary international conflicts to local conflicts. Below we describe some of the types that are particularly important for town or village drinking water supplies. 1 See Water Conflicts in India: A CONFLICT OVER EQUITY AND BETWEEN DIFFERENT USES Million Revolts in the Making, Water Conflicts in Odisha: A Compendium In respect of competition between different uses, all water policy documents of Case Studies, Agony of Floods: acknowledge that water for domestic and drinking needs should be given the first Flood Induced Water Conflicts in priority over other uses. Besides the issue of competition between different uses, India, and Water Conflicts in Northeast India: A Compendium of there is the issue of competition between different sections who demand the Case Studies i same unit of water for the same use. Different users claim or come to establish their rights over the use of water from a common source, creating disputes. The challenge is therefore the equitable distribution of water and its effective management. The rich and the powerful get easy access to an amount of water more than sufficient for all their needs, while the vulnerable and poor sections of society are left fighting to fulfil their basic need. CASTE BASED WATER CONFLICTS Caste still persists in India in different forms, and prevents the marginalised sections of society from accessing their basic rights. The most oppressed sections are the Dalits, who still face prejudice over drinking water issues. This issue is well illustrated by a case from the Bharatpur region of Rajasthan. In Murwara Tehsil of Bharatpur district, there is one well near a temple where water is available for almost the entire year. However, the upper caste villagers do not allow the lower castes to access this well because they believe that if the lower castes use the temple well, they will defile the temple.2 In another incident ten years back, conflict erupted between the Dalits and the Savarnas (upper castes) in several villages in Mangaon tehsil in Raigad district of Maharashtra over accessing drinking water from public wells. These villages in Mangaon tehsil are situated within 20 to 30 km of Mahad, where some 85 years ago Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar launched a water Satyagraha by marching to the Chavdar tank to open up all public watering places to the Dalits (Paranjape et al., 2008). The incidents in the Mangaon villages show that not much has changed since the famous Mahad Satyagraha. The problem of caste and water is not a simple problem of water provisioning. Caste is inherent to the way habitats develop, the way they are located and the way they share the burden of shortages. Dalits and lower caste bastis almost invariably are poorly located, have access to relatively inferior sources if they are not excluded altogether, and receive the lowest priority when sharing shortages.3 CONFLICTS AROUND URBAN DRINKING WATER Indian cities are growing at a rapid rate, including metropolitan cities and small towns. The overall growth of population, migration to cities for better economic opportunities and the increasingly urban lifestyle

  • Both Banks of Munak Canal Completely Breached Author : Location : Article Date : 02/23/2016
    2/23/2016 The Times of India Title : Both banks of Munak canal completely breached Author : Location : Article Date : 02/23/2016 3 Treatment Plants Working, But Munak Canal Badly Hit New Delhi: Water supply in the city is likely to take two weeks to be fully restored as Jat protesters have extensively damaged the Munak canal, Delhi's lifeline, which accounts for close to 45% of the supply , at several places. There was, however, some relief on Monday after Delhi Jal Board started partial operations at the Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla treatment plants. The government announced that schools, shut on Monday due to the water crisis, will reopen on Tues day. By Tuesday morning, authorities hope to supply 475 million gallons per day , about 50% of Delhi's total supply capacity of 900 MGD. The Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla plants, with a combined capacity of 238 MGD, draw raw water from the Yamuna. These plants too are now unable to fully function due to high levels of ammonia in the river. Protesters had taken control of Munak canal at Mandora village in Haryana on February 19 and then again the next day. On Monday , the Army finally wrested control but protesters moved to Khubru, a village 35km upstream and stopped supply to the canal completely. Both banks of the Munak canal have been com pletely breached along a length of 250 feet, sources said. A DJB team was sent to Mandora to assess the damage to Munak. After the army took control of the canal, Haryana said it would release water through the Delhi subbranch, an offshoot of Munak which has a capacity of 215 MGD.

  • Yamuna Does Not Belong to Haryana... We’Re Working on Contingencies’ ­ the Hindu
    2/29/2016 ‘Yamuna does not belong to Haryana... we’re working on contingencies’ ­ The Hindu CITIES » DELHI Published: February 29, 2016 00:00 IST | Updated: February 29, 2016 05:34 IST ​ February 29, 2016 ‘Yamuna does not belong to Haryana... we’re working on contingencies’ We are looking at interlinking our water treatment plants, says DJB chief Kapil Mishra.Photo: Sushil Kumar Verma Delhi Jal Board chairperson Kapil Mishra speaks to Damini Nath about some initiatives that the Delhi government is considering in case the Capital faces a water crisis again. You've said earlier that Delhi depends on the Yamuna for water, not Haryana. But, the recent agitation in Haryana hit Delhi's water supply. Doesn't this show the dependence on Haryana? The river does not belong to Haryana. The river is for all of us. And Haryana too gets water from Punjab. The water that Delhi gets from Haryana is as per certain guidelines, treaties and even a Supreme Court order. Haryana is bound by the guidelines to share water with Delhi. Given how the Jat protests led to a shutdown of seven DJB plants, are you planning on any emergency measures in the future so the crisis is not repeated? We cannot replace the river. Delhi is the Capital of the country because the Yamuna flows through it. We need the Yamuna, but we should also have a week to 10 days’ worth of water supply of our own in case of emergencies. The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is working on a plan that will be ready soon.

Samplings were collected from each lake in May 2017 and July 2017. The measured water quality parameters included pH, color, turbidity, alkalinity, hardness, suspended solids, Dissolved oxygen, COD, BOD ,Chloride content TDS, Total load of bacteria. From this values it is observe that the lake water is not potable, but can be used for general purpose as well as recreational purpose. Higher values were recorded after initial rains due to natural and anthropogenic sources such as run- off containing salts, land fill leachates, septic tank effluents and animal feeds is higher in first flush. It is also observed that the water turbidity, nitrate and phosphorous levels are more in all lakes. It is due to the increase of nutrient level and the water hycanith presence in the lakes.

  • Integrated Water Management for the National Capital Region of Delhi
    nd 2 World Irrigation Forum W.2.4.07 6-8 November 2016, Chiang Mai, Thailand INTEGRATED WATER MANAGEMENT FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION OF DELHI Rajeev Malhotra1 ABSTRACT The National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi is endowed with perennial rivers namely the Yamuna, Hindon and Kali passing through it and the Ganga skirting its eastern boundary. While the U.P. Sub-region has abundant ground water, the area west of river Yamuna comprising the districts of Gurgaon, Rohtak, Sonipat, Jhajjar and most part of Faridabad district in Haryana, Alwar in Rajasthan and large parts of NCT-Delhi have insufficient ground water, which is often brackish in quality rendering it unpalatable for domestic consumption. NCR draws its water needs from the Yamuna, Western Yamuna canal, and Upper Ganga canal system and partly from ground water (ranney wells in Yamuna belt and tube wells). It is a water scarce region and due to heavy withdrawal of ground water, ground water levels have declined in most parts of NCR. With the growing population, depleting ground and surface water resources in the region, meeting the demand of water for various uses such as drinking, industrial and irrigation is a big challenge. There is generally a wide demand-supply gap of water in NCR and the problem becomes acute in dry summer months. A holistic view of the water demand and supply in the NCR region is required to be taken for the Integrated Water Management taking the regional approach. Also the losses in the various stages of the water supply system needs to be assessed and rectified to a reasonable limit to save valuable water from going waste.

Sukhadia University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India Abstract: Water is an essential resource for our existence. However its availability is not only limited but also very unevenly distributed world over. The largest brunt of its scarcity is experienced in the semi arid and arid regions of the world. Consequently the people of these regions have, from times immemorial, been practicing techniques of rain water conservation and management. Rajasthan is the largest state of India area wise however it has only one percent of the total water resources of the country. Rain water conservation and management techniques have been in practice in the different parts of the state from time immemorial. The present study is concentrated on the water conservation and water management practices developed during the reigns of the various Rawals, Ranas and Maharanas of the Mewar State, Rajasthan. The study area includes Banswara, Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Dungarpur, Rajsamand, Pratapgarh and Udaipur Districts. The present research paper is an attempt to study and highlight the various scientific techniques and methods adopted for the conservation and management of rain water. Key words: Ahar • Bhela • Genda • Hameda • Roof water harvesting • River diversion • River Linkage INTRODUCTION Region of South Rajasthan.
