“Repair Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies”

Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation

Government of India

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

As per 4th 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

Water bodies - Present Status

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: 3:1 (Centre : State)

Outlay: 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 31st Mar. ‘15) Status of water bodies: Completed – 2501 Potential Restored: 1.24 lakh ha

Contd..

With External Assistance Reason for external support: To cover more number of water bodies and expedite their

completion in a mission mode by providing 100% funds in the context of Bharat Nirman Programme.

Outlay: Rs. 1500 crore Funding Pattern: 75% of the loan taken by the Government of India from World Bank and

passed on to concerned states on back to back basis and is to be re-paid by the State. The balance 25% of the cost of the project as loan is taken as liability by Government of India and passed on to the states as 100% grant for the projects. Four states signed agreement with World Bank for taking up 10887 nos. of water bodies (Tamil Nadu 5763 at Rs 2182 cr, A.P. 3000 at Rs 835 cr, Karnataka 1224 at Rs 269 cr, and Odisha 900 at Rs 448 cr)

Processing & disbursement of loan and Monitoring of the project was done by Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Min. of Finance.

Achievement of Earlier Schemes ---Contd.

Working Group for Minor Irrigation and Watershed Management for XII Plan stressed that restoration of water bodies would require due attention in future in view of burgeoning gap in utilization. A target of 2.4 mHa was set for schemes for Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of water bodies in XII Plan and recommended an outlay of Rs 30,000 crore with 90% central assistance in special category states /areas and 50% central assistance in other states/areas

Scheme on RRR of Water Bodies for continuation during XII

Modification on 03.07.2015 adding “Priority will be given to water bodies in villages covered under Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) subject to the conditions that the said water body qualifies for assistance with the other eligibility criteria”

Scheme on RRR of Water Bodies for continuation during XII Plan-

Objectives Comprehensive improvement and restoration of water bodies,

thereby increasing tank storage capacity, Ground Water Recharge, Increased availability of drinking water, Improvement in agriculture/horticulture productivity, Improvement of catchment areas of water bodies commands, Improved water use efficiency and conjunctive use of surface

and ground water, Community participation and self-supporting system Capacity building of communities, in better water management, Development of tourism, cultural activities, etc.

Scheme on RRR of Water Bodies during XII Plan-

Features (contd) Association of NGOs with the organization of Water Users’ Association in

the command areas may be encouraged. The RR&R scheme in rural areas would be implemented in convergence

with the Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) so that the catchment areas of the water body selected are located either in treated micro/mini watershed or those selected for treatment during the next year or two. The proposals of only those water bodies in which catchment area treatment works have started under IWMP would be included in the scheme of RR&R of water bodies.
