A Water Conservation Campaign 3 CONTEXT JAL SHAKTI ABHIYAN

India has 17 percent of the world’s Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA) is a time bound population and 4 percent of the world’s campaign with a mission mode approach freshwater resources ranking it among intended to improve conditions in around the top ten water rich countries. However, 1500 Blocks that are drought aff ected, India the second most populated nation water stressed or over-exploited falling in the world is currently designated as in 254 districts with water conservation water stressed by Intergovernmental Panel related central programmes. 23 of these on Climate Change (IPCC) with current districts are aspirational districts. Designed utilizable freshwater much lower than in the lines of Gram Swaraj Abhiyan, JSA international standards. A 2017 study of is planned to be carried out in two phases. Food and Agriculture Organisation of the Phase I will be carried out between July 1 United Nations (FAO) shows India’s per and September 15, 2019 for all States. For capita storage capacity is signifi cantly low States/UTs with retreating monsoon namely where only 8% of annual rainfall is being Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Karnataka, and stored. A major grain producer, India also Puducherry, the campaign shall be carried uses 3-5 times more water for crops than out between October 2 and November 30, China, US and Israel, which is considered 2019. disproportionate use of water per crop. During the campaign, senior off icers, Heavy dependence on groundwater, years of groundwater experts and scientists from defi cient rains and disproportionate demand the Government of India will work together for water due to rapid population increase, with State and District off icials in India’s urbanization and industrialization have put most water-stressed districts. JSA aims at considerable stress on water management. making water conservation and promotion of irrigation eff iciency a Jan-Andolan Inspired by the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s through asset creation and communication impetus on Jal Sanchay, Government of campaigns. India is launching the Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA) to revive India back to a sustained system of water conservation and eff icient irrigation.

One of the major outputs of Jal Shakti Determine the functionality status of each Abhiyan is to develop district water of these structures. Conduct a functionality conservation plan. This is essentially assessment on how many structures are a strategy to conserve, recharge and functional and non-functional improve water use eff iciency.The District Water Conservation Plan is developed by Determine the feasibility of restoring the compilation of block level conservation non -functional structures with the cost plans, which is essentially the compilation assessment; this should be followed by of water conservation plans of respective identifi cation of schemes/programmes Gram Panchayats (GPs) within the block. under which the restoration can be taken Thus the template given below can be used up. This should be followed by fi xing annual to generate the plan for GP or block or targets, so that every structure which is district as the case may be. The formation non-functional and where a possibility of of District Water Conservation Plan will restoration exists, will be made functional involve following steps: in a time bound manner.

An e.g. Panchayati Raj (PR), drinking water, inventory of all the government buildings agriculture, irrigation, endowment boards yet to have rainwater harvesting structures etc. need to be developed.
