Box 1.1

Status on Average Annual Water Availability

(Figures in parentheses are per cent of total precipitation)

Background and Rationale

The annual precipitation including snowfall, which is the main source of water in

India, is about 4000 billion cubic meters (BCM). However, the average annual rainfall

varies considerably from one region of the country to another. The North East region

receives about 1000 cm and Western Rajasthan gets less than 10 cm of annual

precipitation. Further, most of the rainfall occurs during the season of south-west

monsoon in four months i.e. from June to September.

About 53.3 percent of total precipitation is lost due to evapotranspiration which

leaves a balance of 1869 BCM water in the country. Further, about 40 per cent of the

potential available can’t be put to beneficial use due to topographical constraints and

uneven distribution of water resources over space and time. Thus utilizable water

potential of the country is estimated to be 1137 BCM consisting of 690 BCM of surface

water and 447 BCM of ground water (Box 1.1).

Precipitation received 4000 BCM (100%)

Water Resources Potential 1869 BCM (46.7%)

Utilizable Water Resources 1137 BCM (28.1%)

Ground Water 447 BCM (10.8%)

Surface Water 690 BCM (17.2%)

Availability of both surface and ground water varies from one region to

another. In view of limitations on availability of water resources and rising demand for

water, sustainable management of water resources has acquired critical importance.

NITI Aayog had developed a Composite Water Management Index (CWMI) in 2017 as a

useful tool to assess and further improve the performance in efficient management of

water resources. The index with base year 2015-16 and reference year 2016-17

provided useful information for the States and also for the concerned Central

2

Ministries/Departments enabling them to formulate and implement suitable strategies

for better management of water resources. It has been finalized after an elaborate

exercise including seeking feedback from the States and consultation with reputed

experts.

The Index has a set of 28 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering irrigation

status, drinking water and other water-related sectors. Critical areas such as source

augmentation; major and medium irrigation; watershed development; participatory

irrigation practices; sustainable on-farm water use practices; rural drinking water;

urban water supply and sanitation; and policy & governance have been accorded high

priority. The index would serve as a useful tool to track performance in the water sector

and take corrective measures timely for achieving better outcomes thereby meeting the

citizens’ expectations satisfactorily.

Ranking Methodology

(Methodology for ranking of the States based upon performance against KPIs)

1. Score against the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - Si (i = 1 to 28)

(a) For the unit of measurement ‘Yes/No’, a State having response ‘Yes’ would be

awarded a score of ‘1’ and the State having ‘No’ response would be awarded ‘0’.

(b) The scoring assigns importance to improvement on identified KPIs during the year.

For improved performance during the 2018-19 over 2017-18, score in terms of

percentage increase in improvement would be awarded.

(c) For the unit of measurement in absolute numbers, a State will be awarded the score

on a range of 1 to 5 where 1 relates to the lowest performance and 5 to the highest.

Others would be awarded proportionately.

2. Weightage to the indicators - Wi (i = 1 to 28)

(a) The weightage to the various sections is under:-

Section Weightage

Introduction

CWMI is an important tool to assess and improve the performance of States/ Union Territories in

efficient management of water resources. The index would provide useful information for the States,

UT and for the concerned Central Ministries/Departments enabling them to formulate and implement

suitable strategies for better management of water resources.

The reporting states are basically into three groups - Non-Himalayan states and North-Eastern and

Himalayan States, and Union Territories to account for different hydrological conditions across these

groups.

The Index comprises nine themes (each having an attached weight) with 28 different

indicators covering groundwater and surface water restoration, major and medium

irrigation, watershed development, participatory irrigation management, on-farm

water use, rural and urban water supply, and policy and governance.

The Index will measure both the overall progress made by states in water

management and the incremental improvement in performance across time.

The results of the entire exercise will be used to propel action in the states to improve

water outcomes, besides improving data collection and performance monitoring

mechanisms.

The System will allow the process of data collection to happen seamlessly in a

decentralized manner by state/UT departments to shorten the time taken in collating,

ingesting and processing these data and reduce manual error by having the data entry

through standardized forms.

The system would automatically complete computation from raw data to

normalization till ranking.

The system has automated workflow, with assisted data entry by states, to validation

and finally approval by admin user.

The system has automated alerts and notifications facilities
