The document summarizes a case study analyzing drinking water issues in drought-affected villages in Shahapur district, Maharashtra, India. The researchers evaluated water availability and supply schemes for 15 villages, comparing the costs of proposed pipeline schemes to the current expensive tanker system. For 9 villages near reservoirs, the researchers designed an affordable multi-village piped water scheme connecting to Musai Lake costing Rs. 988 per person, much less than continuing tanker deliveries. For 6 remote villages, the study recommended water storage structures and techniques like bore blasting to improve supply. The proposed solutions could help address water scarcity cost-effectively in similar rural areas.

Requirements of human are increasing tremendously with massive change along with the evolution of human and its development. This creates stress on the natural resources; such as water, lands, forest, etc. Freshwater demand is highly increased with the growing population and the change in lifestyle of people. Hence, the concept of interbasin water transfer was developed to minimize water scarcity and to distribute water as per requirements. However, this has brought lots of negative consequences that became a challenge to preserve the earth systems. The National River Linking Plan (NRLP) is developed by the Government of India to resolve water scarcity and that plan became controversial especially on the transboundary water right issues. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to highlight all the major and minor consequences that might happen due to the NRLP project with the perspective of making sustainable environmental development. The study revealed that for the sustainable development; every issue related to nature, socio-cultural and transboundary water right must be addressed and water should be distributed in such a manner that it solves the issues of spatial and temporal water availability.

Water availability assessment in shipra rivereSAT Journals
Abstract Water availability analysis was carried out in Ujjain Basin part of Shipra Basin located in Madhya Pradesh state, at various probabilities for different dependable flow volumes. The flow regime was analyzed in this study using Flow Duration curve technique and the model was developed using MIKE BASIN software. Through MIKE model was developed for the whole Shipra Basin, a diversion canal in the name of KHAN Diversion and Narmada-Shipra link is added. In this study the flow at Ujjain city is mainly influenced by Khan diversion which is developed in the model and Narmada-Shipra link. Three scenarios were developed and net flow to Ujjain city were studied and analyzed for Khumb Mela that is to be held in 2016. The water availability analysis was performed for the individual months. In the present study the availability of dependable flow volumes were calculated month wise at 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100% probability of exceedance. Key Words: water availability, flow duration curve, MIKE BASIN model, Khan Diversion, Narmada-Shipra link.
Maharashtra has always faced droughts. The drought has persisted for four consecutive years and has affected drinking water security and crop production and productivity severely all over the Maharashtra state. Maharashtra government has launched a new program named Jalyukta Shivar Abhiyan to make Maharashtra a drought-free state by 2019. The JYS proposes a framework for village level water balance calculation which includes estimation of crop-water requirements, drinking water stress etc. JYS promotes an integration and coordination between various government agencies and program during planning and implementation levels and stresses on people's participation as one of the key objectives. The program aims to make 5000 villages free of water scarcity every year. This transformation has been possible with concentrated efforts towards developing watersheds, improving ground water levels, de-silting and decentralizing water sources and increasing the area under irrigation.

Reuse of wastewater as a climate mitigation strategy - Bengaluru and its hint...biometrust
The Government of Karnataka proposes to pump 770 MLD of treated wastewater from Bengaluru City to the neighbouring drought-prone districts of Kolar, Chikkaballapur and Bengaluru Rural. The treated wastewater will fill up 134 tanks in these districts and will benefit the farmers by increasing the groundwater table through recharge from the tanks. This is part of the KC valley pumping scheme. As part of this project, farmer interviews were conducted around lakes yet to receive treated wastewater (Holali, Markalaghatta), lakes rejuvenated through World Bank JSYS project (Pichguntlahalli, Hosakere) and a lake that has received treated wastewater (Lakshmisagara). A total of 10-15 farmers were interviewed near each lake. Secondary data on drought, climate change, and wastewater reuse was also collected from KSNDMC and other available case studies. An Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) was also conducted in 4 lakes to document and understand the link between the lake, water, vegetation and the treated wastewater. The key findings of the project have been shared in this report.
Integrated watershed management programme at gunjala village – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract Integrated watershed management programme was launched in Tamsi mandal of gunjala village by using ‘Four water Concept’. Case study included Questionnaire survey from farmers living in that village, and continuous study over a period of two years. Tamsi village is a tribal village and drought area with very less rainfall. Total project area is 4566 Hac, Project Cost Rs. 547.92 Lakhs. The sanctioned area of Gunjala micro watershed is 710 Hac with a outlay of Rs. 85.20 Lakhs. Out of which the total expenditure incurred was Rs.39.12 Lakhs and constructed structures were LBS, RFDs, PTs, CDs and Plantation. Over two year period, it was observed that, 2 years of period the ground water has been improved in this village and three Bore wells are drilled and they are successful, even during peak summer they could meet their day today activities. The farmer Jadhav Uttam has an additional income of Rs. 17600 per Acre in cotton and Rs. 6300 per Acre in Red Gram. The farmer Gnan Singh had an additional income of Rs. 17600 per Acre in cotton and Rs. 5,250 per Acre in Red Gram. The farmer Amber Singh had an additional income of Rs. 13200 per Acre in cotton and Rs. 3,500 per Acre in Red Gram. In the same way, others farmers were also able to generate the benefits from the construction of water storage structures.
