    GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT (MAJOR, MEDIUM IRRIGATION AND CADA) PERFORMANCE BUDGET 2017-18 JUNE 2017 1 PREFACE The Administrative Reforms Commission set up by the Government of India, inter alia, recommended that Department/Organizations of both the Centre and the States, which are in charge of development programmes, should introduce performance budgeting. In accordance with this suggestion, the Water Resources Department has been publishing performance budget from the year 1977-78. The performance budget seeks to present the purpose and the objective for which funds are requested, the cost of the various programmes and activities and quantitative data, measuring the work performed or services rendered under each programme and activity. In other words, performance budget represents a work plan conceived in terms of functions, programmes, activities and projects with the financial and physical aspects closely interwoven in one document. It may be mentioned here that, in the performance budget compiled now, an attempt has been made to relate the traditional budget to the programmes and activities. Suggestions for improvements are welcome and these would be gratefully received and considered while publishing the performance budget in the coming years. Bangalore Principal Secretary to Government June 2017 Water Resources Department 2 INTRODUCTION Performance budgeting helps in focusing attention on programmes, activities and their costs as also the performance in both physical and financial terms.

    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.
