1 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WATER HARVESTING, STORAGE & CONSERVATION IIT, KANPUR RAIN WATER HARVESTING AND ARIFICIAL RECHARGE TO GROUND WATER IN INDIA A SUSTANABLE FUTURISTIC VISION D. CHAKRABORTY SCIENTIST, CGWB

2 SUCCESS STORIES: CENTRAL & STATE GOVTS. Implemented several rain water harvesting and artificial recharge projects throughout the country under varied hydrogeological environments Created mass awareness and undertaken training programmes to educate and mobilize people on the subject matter Prepared Guides, Manuals, Master Plan, Brochures for popularizing the concept Generated posters and leaflets for public distribution highlighting the need for water harvesting Preparation of films and documentaries on water harvesting and conservation

3 SUCCESS STORIES: NGO S Gujarat Sadguru Water & Development Foundation - check dams in Thunthi Kankasiya village - Dahod district RTRWH & recharging of wells by Saurashtra Lok Manch Trust in Rajkot district Check dams & Percolation ponds by Agakhan Rural Support Programme in Junagarh & Surendranagar districts RWH structures by Vivekanand Research & Training Institute in Kutch, Bhavnagar & Amreli districts Maharashtra Catchment treatment at Adgaon & Palaswadi - Aurangabad, Ralengaon Siddhi Ahmednagar and Naigaon Pune by Shri Anna Hazare Rajasthan Tarun Bharat Sangh built water harvesting structures & Johads in Alwar district Storage tanks in Jodhpur district by Gramin Vigyan Vikas Samiti Barefoot College rainwater harvesting

4 FUTURE STRATEGY Ground water augmentation through rain water harvesting techniques is one of the important management tool to increase the availability of water for various uses Technical Approach Policy and Issues

5 TECHNICAL APPROACH Multi-disciplinary approach need to be adopted for designing rain water harvesting schemes Priority for "Over-Exploited" and "Critical" areas Micro-level studies in critical areas to draw detailed plans for ground water resource management Innovative technological alternatives should be explored, studied, documented through action research in targeted areas Research and Development Programme should be taken up to evolve cost efficient techniques for rain-water harvesting and conservation methods

6 TECHNICAL APPROACH--- CONTD. Regional Aquifer System Analysis should also be taken up on a larger scale Need to identify aquifers in flood plains of the rivers and other aquifer systems at depth which can be used to store water In inland salinity areas, brackish / saline water be developed to create storage space to be filled up during monsoon by accelerated recharge Integrate traditional wisdom with modern technology for rain water harvesting and recharging of ground water

7 POLICY AND ISSUES Role of Central, State and Local bodies is to be defined clearly in construction and maintenance of rain water harvesting structures People's participation and social acceptance is essential for success of rain water harvesting projects All the rain water harvesting techniques should reach to the Panchayat/ Municipality level Participatory association of scientists, engineers and beneficiaries

8 . POLICY AND ISSUES --- CONTD. Mechanism should be evolved so that continuous process of interaction among Central/ State Government Agencies, local bodies, NGO s, VO s and community exists for rain water harvesting Co-ordination between various Central and State Government Agencies, Institutions and Community in funding and implementing rain water harvesting schemes Stakeholders of water should be sensitized to the social contextualization of technical decisions Technical expertise should play a complementary role not a competitive one

9 POLICY AND ISSUES --- CONTD. Gender issues need to be explicitly addressed through training and awareness Techno-economic evaluation of rain water harvesting schemes should be taken up to assess the benefits Financial assistance from institutional finance agencies, including NABARD, must be set for recharge schemes and extended for the purpose A suitable pricing mechanism need to be adopted for water so as to recover the cost of rain water harvesting and management of water resources

10 Technical Assessment Decision Tree Social Assessment Does rain water harvesting conflict with others need Implement project No Yes Yes Can rain water be fruitfully utilized Yes Prioritize needs No No Project Re-design project Is water a top priority? No Inventory of materials, skills, tools & resources Planning technical assistance to fill gaps & remove constraints on application of chosen technology Detailed choice of technology to fit local resource base & to match a feasible technical assistance programme

11 GROUND WATER STEWARDSHIP DESTINATION Over-exploited areas Critical areas Semi-critical areas Safe areas Large scale recharge dovetailed with ground water regulation Recharge mechanism with intensive ground water monitoring Ground water development to be maintained close to annual recharge Special thrust for ground water development plan

12 The Country has just begun a long voyage We invite you to join us in this journey. THANK YOU
