Repair Renovation and Restoration RRR of Water Bodies

“Repair Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies” Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation

Need for RR&R Water Body - a structure where water from ice-melt, streams, springs, rain or drainage of water from residential areas is accumulated or water is stored by diversion from a stream, nala or river. In India, tanks/ponds and lakes have traditionally played an important role in conserving water for meeting various needs (i. e. drinking water, domestic uses, irrigation, tourism, cultural & religious etc) of the communities. Traditionally called as Bhandaras, Khadin and Baolis, Vav or Vavdi, Ahar Pynes (Bihar) etc

Water bodies - Present Status As per 4 th Minor Irrigation Census (2006 -07) Total number of water bodies - Over 5 lakh Irrigation potential - 5. 89 Million ha Number of water bodies not in use- 0. 80 lakh Irrigation potential lost - 1. 95 Million ha As per INDIA-WRIS Portal No. of Water Bodies (Rural & Urban) – 7. 989 lakh

Need for Govt. Intervention in Revival of Water Bodies Relative importance of some of these Water Bodies has waned due to: Shifting away from community based tank system to individual beneficiary oriented ground water dependent system Prolonged and continuous neglect of maintenance Encroachments in the tank bund, foreshore, water-spread and supply channels Deforestation in the catchment for urbanization & housing Use of tank beds as dumping yards and thus silting of tank beds Choking up feeder channels

Pilot Scheme for RRR of Water Bodies during X Plan Launched in January 2005 with objectives of Comprehensive improvement and restoration of water bodies including increasing tank storage capacity, Ground Water Recharge, Increased availability of drinking water, Improvement of catchment areas of tank commands, Development of tourism, cultural activities, etc. Funding Pattern: Outlay: 3: 1 (Centre : State) Rs. 300 crore(225: 75)

Status of Pilot Scheme No. of Water Bodies covered: 1098 Work completed on water bodies: 1085 (13 dropped) Grant released: Rs 197. 30 crore Potential restored 0. 78 lakh ha(100%) Independent evaluation done by WALMTRI, Hyd. , CWRDM, Kerala, WTC, Bhubneshwar, NRSC, Hyd. Reports shown that the scheme has resulted in increase in storage capacity, increased utilization of water for irrigation, benefits of the scheme percolating to SC/ST families etc.

RRR of Water Bodies during XI Plan During XI Plan, Two scheme – One with Domestic support & other with External Assistance launched With Domestic Support Outlay: Rs. 1250 crore Funding Pattern: Special Category States, Hilly States, Undivided KBK Districts of Odisha and drought prone/tribal/naxal affected areas : 90: 10 (Centre : State) Water bodies in other states/areas : 25: 75 (Centre : State) Physical & Financial Status No. of water bodies taken up: 3341 Total funds released during XI Plan: Rs 917. 259 crore Funds utilized: Rs 820. 043 crore (till 31 st Mar. ‘ 15) Status of water bodies: Completed – 2501 Potential Restored: 1. 24 lakh ha
