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

  2. 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

  3. Water bodies - Present Status As per 4thMinor 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

  4. 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

  5. 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) • +++

  6. 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.
