The distribution of the rainfall in the country varies greatly in time as well as space, and such variations have caused extreme events of droughts and floods in country. During year 2015-16, drought like situation/Water scarcity has prevailed in states namely Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Rajasthan in selected districts and in Gujarat, some Districts felt semi water scarcity. Main Cause of Water Scarcity Main cause of water scarcity in country is consecutive failure of monsoon, resulting low storages in dams, during last two years. Rainfall deficit in country as a whole during 2015 was 14% and in 2014, it was 12%. Earlier, year 2012 was also a rainfall deficit year with 11% deficit. At the end of monsoon season 2015 i.e. as on 30th Sept 2015, available live storage in 91 reservoirs under CWC monitoring was 95.693 BCM against the total live capacity of 157.799 BCM of these 91 reservoirs. While as on 30thSept 2014, available live storage was 124.607 BCM, and as on 30th Sept 2013, it was 137.077 BCM. Storage in Reservoirs under CWC Monitoring As per CWC reservoir storage bulletin of 91 reservoirs dated 26th May 2016, reservoirs namely NagarjunaSagar [A. P. & Telangana]; Bhima (Ujjaini), Jayakwadi, Girna, Dudhganga and Yeldari [Maharashtra]; Kabini [Karnataka], Sholayar [Tamil Nadu] have no live storage. Most of the other reservoirs also have live storage less than the average of last 10 years live storage. Suggested Measures for Water Scarcity Mitigations Various long/short term measures (being taken up and to be taken up) to mitigate water scarcity situation have been recommended by technical teams, which are region/area/state specific. However, construction of water harvesting structures, mass awareness among citizens for water conservation, construction of new water storage structures, interlinking of rivers, renovation and repair of existing water bodies are commonly recommended measures. Steps Taken by MOWR, RD&GR and CWC As per constitutional provisions, water resources projects are constructed, maintained and operated by respective state Government agencies. In view of likely water scarcity situation, Central Water Commission issued advisories to state Government authorities for judicious use of available water. MoWR, RD&GR constituted technical Page 1 teams comprising officers of Central Water Commission, Central Ground Water Board and State Water Resources Department to submit their report on water scarcity situation till June 2016. It has been reported that minimum domestic water requirement are being met in all water scarce areas. Completion of the ongoing / proposed water resources schemes are likely to contribute in tackling the water scarcity in future. In this regard following steps have been taken by the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation: 1. Technical / financial assistance to the State Governments through schemes e.g. Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP) and Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies. 99 projects have been identified to be completed by 2020under AIBP. 2. To enhance physical access of water on farm and to improve on farm water use efficiency, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) has been launched. 3. Funding of Major and medium irrigation/multipurpose irrigation projects under PMKSY-AIBP and RRR of Water Bodies, Surface Minor Irrigation (SMI) projects and Command Area Development and Water Management (CADWM) projects under PMKSY-Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP). 4. Jal Kranti Abhiyan (2015-16 to 2017-18) to consolidate efforts for making water conservation and management a mass movement in the country involving all stakeholders. Current Year Forecast for Rain by IMD This year, IMD has issued long range forecast for the 2016 Southwest Monsoon Season Rainfall, predicting quantitatively monsoon seasonal rainfall 106% of long period average with a model error +/- 5%. Hence water scarcity situation is expected to improve in coming months. Page 2 1.0 General Over 60-70% of our country is vulnerable to drought. In the past, drought in India have periodically led to major Indian famines resulting in tens of millions of deaths over the course of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries e.g. Bengal famine of 1770 decimating about one third of the population in affected areas and 1876–1877 famine in which over five million people died. The distribution of the rainfall in the country varies greatly in time as well as space and such variations have caused extreme events of droughts and floods in country. Every year almost all the reservoirs in India approach minimum live storage levels during May and June. The meagre storages available in May and June are just adequate for drinking and pre-sowing / nursery preparations. Success of Kharif and Rabi irrigation depends upon inflows during June – October period. An adequate storage of grains and efficient transportation system has reduced cause of deaths but scarcity of water affects all spheres of human life. Rainfall received during southwest summer monsoon is main source of water for Indian subcontinent and surface water as well ground water recharge is dependent upon good monsoon. The requirements of food and fodder as well as drinking and industrial water are met mainly from water stored during the monsoon period. 1.1 Drought during year 2015-16 During year 2015-16, drought has been declared by states namely Karnataka (both Kharif and Rabi), Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh (both Kharif and Rabi), Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Rajasthan. Gujarat has also declared some areas as scarcity and some other states have also experienced low rainfall and water scarcity. To assess the drought situation and to take necessary steps, Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation vide order no. T- 28021/1/2016-GW Desk dated 25.4.2016 (copy enclosed at Annex I) conveyed constitution of Technical Teams comprising of officers from CWC, CGWB and State Water Resources Department for on the spot study of water situation in drought affected / water scarce regions/areas of Country as and when such situation arises. Accordingly, vide CWC letter no. CWC/TC/G-12/2015/dated 02.5.2016 all field Chief Engineers were directed to prepare the reports as per TORs mentioned in MoWR RD&GR’ s order dated 25.4.2016 (copy enclosed at Annex II). Page 3 Earlier Chief Engineer, Human Resources Management, CWC vide No. CE (HRM)/Misc/2016 dated 12.4.16 requested field Chief Engineers to prepare the reports of certain regions facing shortage of water. Technical Teams constituted by MoWR RD&GR”s as mentioned above, visited various states/regions and submitted their reports.Reports of areas of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have been received in response to CE, HRM, CWC letter dated 12.4.16. 2.0 Region-wise Drought situation Central Water Commission is issuing a reservoirs storage bulletin on weekly basis indicating live storage details of 91 reservoirs of the country. These 91 reservoirs have been taken from the different regions and accordingly the drought situation has been analysed on the basis of storage position, rainfall data and other inputs provided in the Region/State/District specific reports mentioned in above Paras. 2.1 Northern Region As per CWC reservoir monitoring, the northern region includes States of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Rajasthan. There are 6 reservoirs under CWC monitoring in northern region having total live storage capacity of 18.01 BCM. The storage position of these six reservoirs on timeline from 30.9.15 to till date on 26.05.16 is given in table below: LIVE STORAGE AS LIVE STORAGE LIVE STORAGE LIVE STORAGE ON Sept 30 (BCM) AS ON Dec 31 (BCM) AS ON Mar 31 (BCM) AS ON May 26 (BCM) REGION/ STATE Monitored FRL(BCM) AVG.

    Paani Foundation Is a Not-For-Profit Organization Which Has Been the Brainchild of Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao

    ANNUAL REPORT PAANI FOUNDATION’S ACTIVITIES IN 2016 Background: Paani Foundation is a not-for-profit organization which has been the brainchild of Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. The organization was registered in early 2016 in order to work towards creating a drought-free Maharashtra. The idea originated from the television show Satyameva Jayate which was being anchored by Aamir Khan , addressing various social issues . One of the crucial issues that strongly came up was the water scarcity in Maharashtra which was mainly due to the topographical pattern of large areas in existence which are drought prone and face serious lack of rain every year. India is classified globally as a water-adequate nation. It has neither abundance nor scarcity. It has enough for its needs. Yet, increasingly, more and more people do not have water to drink, more and more farmers face drought and starvation, and more and more industries shut down or cannot grow because of a shortage of water. The reason for the Water Crisis: The crisis is largely man-made and has four key causes: 1. Pollution: We have polluted our lakes and rivers. ​ 2. Over-Exploitation: We have recklessly pumped out ground water without bothering ​ to recharge the groundwater table resulting in a catastrophic fall in its level. 3. Irrational Water Management: Can be described well with the example of highly ​ water-intensive sugarcane cultivation in drought-prone areas. 4. Climate Change: Rainfall is getting compressed in both space and time. The number ​ of rain days is decreasing. Rainfall is concentrated in small areas with vast land masses subject to drought.

Pesticide is a substance intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or migrating pests. A substance intended for use as plant growth regulator, defoliant or desiccant is also classified as pesticide. Pesticides are classified into insecticides, fungicides, herbicides or weedicides, acaricides, nematicides based on the target pest. The fundamental contribution to the green revolution has been the development and application of pesticides for the control of wide variety of insectivores and herbivores pests that would otherwise diminishes the quantity and quality of food products.

Abstract The present study deals with the diversity of meiobenthic fauna of Nathsagar reservoir (Paithan) Dist. Aurangabad, Maharashtra, for a period of two years February 2008 to January 2009 and February 2009 to January 2010. Forty six 46 species of meiobenthic fauna consisting of Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda, Ostracoda, Protozoa and Other fauna were recorded in the present study. In the total meiobenthic faunal density, Copepoda constitute 27.62 % followed by Rotifera 24.88 %, Cladocera 17.10 %, Ostracoda 14.78 %, protozoan 10.61 % and other fauna 5.08%. Meiobenthic fauna are the major mode of energy transfer between phytoplankton and end users like finfishes, shellfishes etc. in sustainable development of ecosystem. KEYWORDS: Community composition, Density, Diversity, Meiobenthic fauna, Nathsagar Reservoir (Paithan). Introduction:- Understanding the roles of meiofauna as a link between microbial food resources and macro organisms and agents in nutrient regeneration were identified by Hildrew (1992) as crucial for understanding energy flow in the food webs of streams. The meiofauna are defined as those benthic animals that pass through a 500-µm sieve but are retained on a 40-µm sieve (Higgins and Thiel, 1988).

This paper assesses the environmental impact of sand extraction and the problems associated with its illegal exploitation. The analysis indicates that extracting sand at a greater rate than that at which it is naturally replenished has adverse consequences for fauna and flora. Further, illicit mining activities compound environmental damages and result in conflict, the loss of taxes/royalties, illegal work, and Citation: Leal Filho, W.; Hunt, J.; losses in the tourism industry.

However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies.
