XIII. Latest water quality of polluted river, its tributaries, drains with flow details and ground water quality in the catchment of polluted river: Latest Monthly Progress Report, Analysis report of 21 Polluted River Stretches & Overall Status of Water Quality Analysis as per January,2020 are attached as Annexure I.

XIV. Ground water regulation: As per the consolidated report submitted in O.A. No.496/2016,

65 the Ground water Department is implementing a “Scheme for Ground water Conservation and Recharge”. Under this scheme, rain water collected from the roof-top is harvested for recharging the aquifer through dug wells and recharge pits. The recharging of deep aquifers through bore wells are also being experimented. The total budget outlay during the period 2019- 2020 was 450 lakhs. It is estimated that there are about 65 Lakhs dug wells in Kerala and the ground water extractions by means of traditional dug wells are prevalent source of fresh water. There are number of public dug wells left abandoned and needs renovation. These dug wells can be considered as suitable stretches to recharge ground water. The Central Groundwater Board has prepared a Block wise master plan in 2015 to take up artificial groundwater recharge to groundwater. The same can be used as a guideline to stream line groundwater recharge activities of the Department. The State Government has enacted the Kerala Groundwater (Control and Regulation) act 2002 to provide for the conservation of groundwater and for the regulation and control for its extraction and its use in Kerala. The State Groundwater Authority has been constituted on 16.01.2004 to notify the area where groundwater abstraction is to be regulated. As per the Act Groundwater User’ refers to the person who are using ground water from a pumping well ( > 1.5 HP for Open dug wells and > 3 HP for BW/TW ) for any purpose including domestic purpose. In notified blocks of the state, permiot it required for the consruction of new groundwater abstraction structures.

The Groundwater Department has been conducting mass awareness programmes to public., students, people’s representatives, government officials etc. on groundwater conservation and management in all Districts under the Plan Scheme “ Control and Regulation of Groundwater Exploitation for the effective groundwater management. During the last 4 years, the department has conducted more than 100 numbers of awareness programmes across the State.

66

The Ministry of Water Resources , River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (Central Groundwater Authority) has recently issued a new guide lines to regulate and control groundwater extraction in the country in pursuance of the directions of Hon’ble National Green Tribunal and the powers conferred under section 5 of the Environment (Protection) act, 1986 (29 of 1986) dated 24th December 2020. XV. G ood irrigation practices being adopted by the State: Irrigation in Kerala is classified into two schemes. 1) Major Irrigation and Medium Irrigation 2) Minor Irrigation As per the classification followed by the department, schemes having a cultivable command area upto 2000ha are treated as minor irrigation works. Medium irrigation works are those with irrigable command area of more than 2000 ha, but less than 10,000 ha. Those schemes above 10,000 ha are classified as Major irrigation schemes. Surface flow irrigation method is currently practiced in Kerala. As the department is more focusing on effective utilization of available water for irrigation as well as for its efficient use, new types of irrigation methods like micro/community irrigation for cash crops and horticrop are proposed under this scheme. 1) Major Irrigation and Medium Irrigation The Irrigation department develops and maintains major and medium irrigation schemes/projects across the state. The primary activity of the Department is providing irrigation facility to the farmers of the State through its system comprising reservoirs, main canals, branch canals, feeder canals and other related infrastructure. The department maintains water distribution through the canal system. Water distribution is being carried out based on the cropping pattern of a particular area and a water distribution calendar prepared and approved by a committee headed by the District Collector with members of farming community, other stake holders and department officials. For proper distribution and maintenance of the canals Water Users Association (WUA)/ Farmers Association plays an important

role.

67

2) Minor Irrigation Minor Irrigation schemes are divided into Class-I and Class-II

depending on the ayacut served. Schemes serving above 50Ha up to

2000Ha are classified as MI Class-I. Lift irrigation schemes are also Minor irrigation schemes serving at least 40Ha.Aims to Construct RCBs, SWECBs, ponds, VCBs, check dams, salt water barriers, storage weirs, cross bars, and protection works etc. a) MI Class-I schemes Minor works like improvements to tanks and rivulet, construction of check dams, sluices, regulators, bunds, vented crossbars, salt water barriers, layout of channels and drainage structures etc are usually undertaken under MI Class-I schemes. b) MI Class-II Schemes Minor irrigation works including construction of vented cross bars, canals, improvements to natural drains etc are taken up under this scheme. c) Lift Irrigation  Lifting of water is required for irrigating fertile land at a higher elevation where gravity flow of stored water is not possible. Although mechanical lifting is required, these schemes are very useful and serve the marginal farmers of the State.  Optimum utilization of water by supplying designed quantity  Works involving lifting of water with a command area not less than 40 hectares come under this category.  This will increase in the ground water table in high altitude areas, Ensure water availability to farmers before the cropping period.

 This will reduce agricultural loss in high altitude areas due to water scarcity, their by reducing distress to farmers.  At present the Irrigation Department has under its control 450 Lift Irrigation Scheme (LI schemes) with a total Ayacut of 43170ha. d) Micro Irrigation  Micro-irrigation system is a modern method of irrigation in which water is delivered slowly. Usually in the form of discrete droplets, continuous drops, streams, etc. Micro-irrigation system is popular these days for its

68

low cost and water-efficiency.  The benefits of micro irrigation and precision farming are well demonstrated with an average increase in yield by three times. Pepper as a case in point shows enhancement from 1.9 kg/wine to 6/wine on precision agriculture. Coconut also shows increase in productivity to 150 nuts per plant as against 45 without precision irrigation support.  In the coming year department is planning to implement at least one micro irrigation scheme in each district with the coordination of line departments and farmers. Steps are initiated to identify the location as well as crops in coordination with the agriculture department. XVI. Rain Water Harvesting: In compliance with the Hon’ble NGT Order dated 11.09.2019 in O.A. No. 496/2016, the consolidated report of Kerala State regarding the present status of the implementation and action plans on rain water Harvesting for conservation of water was submitted by the Kerala State Government on 27.11.2019 . The same is attached as Annexure II.

The State Groundwater Department has been implementing a scheme for Groundwater Conservation and Recharge under plan fund made available since 2004-05. The project component includes roof top rainwater harvesting for groundwater recharge through dug wells, recharge pits, bore wells and recharge shafts and construction of subsurface dykes and small check dams un micro water shed basis. The recharge schemes are being implemented as a long term measures to achieve sustainable groundwater development in the State. The Department is engaged in recharging groundwater through roof top rain water harvesting in public buildings and government schools and giving priority to implement such structures in notified blocks. The Department has successfully implemented roof top rainwater harvesting through recharge pits to enhance groundwater levels of dug wells in the Kattakkada Constituency of Thiruvananthapuram District. The Constituency was officially declared in November 14th 2019 as the first assembly constituency in Kerala to implement artificial groundwater recharging structures in all Government schools and offices. The State Groundwater Department has implemented 169 nos of recharge pit/direct dug well recharge schemes, 4 check dams and one sub surface dyke during the 12th plan period. In the 13th plan period as on October 2020, the Department has completed 370 nos of recharge pit/dug well recharge

69

schemes and 18 nos of bore well recharge schemes.

The Department has also taken initiatives to implement roof top rainwater harvesting structures in order to replenish the aquifer system in Chittur (Over- Exploited ), Malampuzha and Kasaragod (Critical) blocks under Jal Shakti Abhiyan Programme by Ministry of Jal Shakthi Government of India.

XVII. D emarcation of Floodplain and removal of illegal encroachment a. Kerala receives about 90% of the annual rainfall during the monsoon months from June to August and from October to November. The remaining period from December to May is practically dry. Most of the rain water received during monsoon period flows to sea within 48 hours of rainfall due to the character of the geographic terrain of the state.

b. State Disaster Management plan 2016 was prepared by National Centre for Earth Science Studies in 1:50,000 scale using satellite images. c. Based on the request of central water commission, Government of Kerala constituted Regional Committee for scientific assessment of Flood prone areas in Kerala. d. Flood-level marking for the flood affected rivers has been carried out. Steps have been taken for conducting the studies regarding Flood plain Zoning. Due to the peculiar topography and dense population, evacuation of people from these zones is difficult.

XVIII. M aintaining minimum e-flow of river. a. As per order of the Hon’ble NGT dated 9/8/2017 in OA no 498/2015 it is mandatory to maintain 15% - 20% of average lean season flow.  For lean flow calculation the process of data collection for the last 25 years of all 44 rivers during summer months I.e from January to May is been undertaken .  Study of individual rivers needs to considered for maintaining e- flow during lean season. Storage structures/diversion structures needs to proposed at certain locations to regulate the e-flow.
