'Drought-Free' Maharashtra? Politicising Water Conservation for Rain-Dependent Agriculture

However, little is known about how such conjoined initiatives articulate with social inequity when up-scaled into formal government programmes. In 2014, the Government of Maharashtra institutionalised an integrative green-blue water conservation campaign to make 5000 new villages drought-free each year (2015- 2019). This paper analyses the extent to which the campaign, Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan, enhanced the capture, equity, and sustainability of water for agricultural risk reduction. We find government interests to demonstrate villages as 'drought-free' affected the character and implementation of this integrative campaign. -

Department of Civil Engineering, KSGB’S BIGCE, Solapur, India. Abstract: Irrigation systems in India since ancient times and continuing through even the Mughal times were highly localized There were check dams, wells, ponds and tanks in every village or shared, governments subsidized these for maintenance this in every village, governments subsidized these for maintenance and system continued through the ages. They become handy during droughts and if these dried, governments sponsored relief for famines. In building the canals and then charging higher for irrigated land, British ignored the traditional systems or irrigation which fell into disrepair and eventually lost out. This led to large parts of the country which could not be covered by canal irrigation losing out the local irrigation and completely relying on rain. After independence, the obsession with large dams and canals continued and not many governments thought of reviving the traditional irrigation which worked for centuries. Meanwhile, droughts, water scarcity, deaths continued. The countryside especially in water starved parts of Maharashtra. Water is one of the earth’s most precious resources. Though, 70% of Earth’s surface is water a major 97.5% of this is salt water and only 2.5% is freshwater. Moreover, less than 1% out of this 2.5% amount of freshwater is accessible (the majority is frozen in ice caps or as soil moisture) with growing population this amount of water is becoming insufficient. -

Mahagenco Is First Power Utility in India to Try Use Sewage Water for Secondary Uses in Power Station
Contd- 7. Theft of water by using pumps on water lines from dam to TPS. 8. Plant premise is not compact hence piping's are long. 9. Most of the pipes are underground, Hence identification and attending leakage takes time. 10. Temperature of Chandrapur city touches 46 oC in summer, therefore continuous water sprinkling at coal yard & nearby CHP area is required to reduce fugitive emission. 11. Both one day reservoirs are open to atmosphere for high rate of evaporation. 1 5. Technologies adopted to reduce water consumption 2 Introduction • Five units have already crossed 25 years of life. • Power stations was designed with water systems having liberal considerations for various requirements and high design margins. • However as the requirements became stringent new technologies were introduced to save water. • TPS is now using Zero discharge concept and no water is let out. 3 Water Recovery System Waste Water Recovery Cycle ETP - I Ash Slurry Disposal Ash Bund STP U # 1 to 7 ETP - II Weir Well Ash Recycling ETP - III Discharge Pump House 4 1.

Government of India Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI, DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT & GANGA REJUVENATION LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. †919 ANSWERED ON 27.06.2019 OLDER DAMS †919. SHRI HARISH DWIVEDI Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state: (a) the number and names of dams older than ten years across the country, State-wise; (b) whether the Government has conducted any study regarding safety of dams; and (c) if so, the outcome thereof? ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI & SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT (SHRI RATTAN LAL KATARIA) (a) As per the data related to large dams maintained by Central Water Commission (CWC), there are 4968 large dams in the country which are older than 10 years. The State-wise list of such dams is enclosed as Annexure-I. (b) to (c) Safety of dams rests primarily with dam owners which are generally State Governments, Central and State power generating PSUs, municipalities and private companies etc. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (DoWR,RD&GR) provides technical and financial assistance through various schemes and programmes such as Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Programme (DRIP). DRIP, a World Bank funded Project was started in April 2012 and is scheduled to be completed in June, 2020. The project has rehabilitation provision for 223 dams located in seven States, namely Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand. The objectives of DRIP are : (i) Rehabilitation and Improvement of dams and associated appurtenances (ii) Dam Safety Institutional Strengthening (iii) Project Management Further, Government of India constituted a National Committee on Dam Safety (NCDS) in 1987 under the chairmanship of Chairman, CWC and representatives from State Governments with the objective to oversee dam safety activities in the country and suggest improvements to bring dam safety practices in line with the latest state-of-art consistent with Indian conditions. -

6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.
