Focus on Infrastructure Creation leading to rapid deterioration of the service level

No community participation and ownership; Poor cost recovery; No post construction professional back support

Water Balance for Integrated Water Resources Management

Aim & Objectives of Pilot Projects

• The program aims at conducting Pilots on convergent action for sustainability and GP level monitoring and management of water resources to achieve Drinking water security in selected over exploited blocks of the states.

• Objective is achieving drinking water security in a holistic manner, through a four pronged approach ofq Source Sustainability Plans - Measures for source sustainability

Slide 14

q Source Sustainability Plans - Measures for source sustainability through convergence with MNREGS, IWMP, and other Watershed programmes and NRDWP

q Participatory integrated water resources management - led by Gram Panchayats

q Drinking water security plans prepared by villagesq Making the selected villages open defecation free and ensuring

proper solid and liquid waste management

Methodology for the pilot program Phase-1: Preparatory Phase

• Preparation of Sustainability plans by– Obtaining baseline data from CGWB, NRSC, and

Ministry of Water Resources, including nature of aquifers, and the surface water resources, rainfall pattern for each block, and pattern of water use to enable water budgeting and analyze the same.

Slide 16

enable water budgeting and analyze the same.– Design training modules for surface water

management including rainwater harvesting based on TBS (Tarun Bharat Sangh) model, and other successful water harvesting initiatives

– Concerned area officers of MDWS, CGWB and WSP to guide the selected block level staff in developing Sustainability plans

Phase-2: Capacity Building , Surveys and Analysis

• Awareness generation and training activities on data collection and analysis of groundwater data by NGO working as Support Organization

• Review and assessment of efficiency and effectiveness of the existing water supply systems.

• Using HGM maps on a GIS platform for each block to incorporate all the relevant themes.

Slide 17

incorporate all the relevant themes.• Develop village/Panchayath and block level water security

plans with active participation of the community• Identify variables to create an index for benchmarking and

rating of blocks/districts in terms of water scarcity and availability and quality of drinking water service delivery

Phase-3: Implementation of the plans

• The implementation of the Source Sustainability plans by the respective VWSCs with support from BP/BRC, ZP/DWSM, state rural water supply departments and other organizations as appropriate

• The system sustainability plans by VWSCs in close

Slide 18

• The system sustainability plans by VWSCs in close collaboration with PRED/PHED and Gram Panchayath

• Achieving Open Defecation Free villages by promoting construction and continuous usage on individual household toilets thru NBA programme

Phase-4: Monitoring improvements

• VWSC, and GP members and villagers will be trained and empowered to monitor the improvements.

• For external monitoring and evaluation, the working group may entrust each block to

Slide 19

working group may entrust each block to agencies like CGWB, NIH, and CAZRI

• The BRC/DWSM and /or state PHED will assist and support VWSC/GP in this phase

• CGWB will provide technical guidance.
