India has 4% of water unutilized. Further, irrigation resources of the world, while it has to infrastructure is not operating at desirable support 16% of world population and efficiency. Efficiency of surface water 15% of livestock. projects is about 35-40% and of ground water facilities is about 65%, which can, The annual precipitation including however, be increased to 60% and 75% snowfall, which is the main source of respectively. There is also problem of water in the country, is estimated to be water quality relating to geogenic, of the order of 4000 Billion Cubic Metres arsenic, fluoride, nitrate and iron (BCM). The estimated precipitation during contamination in ground water. Further, the monsoon season (June to September) many areas of the country frequently is of the order of 3000 BCM. The effect of suffer from floods, which cause global warming on hydrological cycle substantial damages. could result in further intensification of temporal and spatial variations in Ministry of Water Resources, Government precipation, snowmelt and water of India is responsible for development, availability. The resources potential of the conservation and management of water country, which occurs as natural run off as a national resource; overall national in the rivers is about 1869 BCM, perspective of water planning and considering both surface and ground coordination in relation to diverse uses of water as one system. water; general policy, technical assistance, research and development, Due to various constraints of topography training and matters relating to irrigation and uneven distribution of resources over and multi-purpose projects, ground water space and time, it has been estimated management; conjunctive use of surface that presently only about 1123 BCM of and ground water, command area the estimated average runoff of 1869 development, flood management BCM is utilisable. With increasing including drainage, flood-proofing, population, the per capita water waterlogging, sea erosion and dam availability has reduced to about one third safety. since independence. Another important challenge is related to over-exploitation of The Ministry has also been allocated the gorund water in some areas. At present, subject of regulation and development of about 15% of the assessment blocks are inter-State rivers, implementation of over-exploited and about 14% of the awards of Tribunals, water quality assessment blocks fall in the category of assessment, bilateral and external critical and semi-critical blocks. There is assistance and co-operation programmes also gap between the irrigation potential in the field of water resources and
