This document discusses water resource management. It notes that while water covers most of the Earth's surface, less than 1% is freshwater available for human use. Proper management of water resources is important for conservation and sustainable development given increasing demand. Traditional, community-based systems of water management in India have declined as the state assumed control over water resources. Efficient management is needed to address issues like water scarcity, agricultural overuse, access, and climate change impacts.
This document discusses India's proposed National River Linking Project (NRLP). The key objectives of the NRLP are to transfer surplus water from water-rich river basins to water-deficit ones in order to control floods and droughts, increase irrigation, drinking water availability, and power generation. It is estimated that the full project will cost around 560,000 crore rupees to implement and will involve linking 30 river basins through a network of reservoirs and canals. Supporters argue it will boost food production and farmer incomes, while critics warn of high costs, environmental impacts, and risks of large scale displacement of communities.
Access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation remains a significant problem in India. Over 840 million Indians lack access to safe drinking water and over 75 million in rural areas lack access to proper sanitation. This causes major health and economic burdens, with over 1.5 million children dying annually from diarrhea. Solutions proposed include improving water quality monitoring, increasing water treatment facilities, ensuring accountability of water usage through metering and tariffs, and boosting access to clean water in rural areas through localized distillation plants. Multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, construction companies, and communities must work together to address the challenges of availability, accountability, and accessibility of water and sanitation resources.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

–Fully funded by the Centre.
–PPA is Executing the project through State
Government (for name sake).
–No say in decision making/execution
16. Water is practically a State subject
• Dam Safety Bill, 2019
• The Dam Safety Bill, 2019 provides for the
surveillance, inspection, operation, and
maintenance of all specified dams across
the country.
• Passed by Lok Sabha in August 2019 but
stuck up in Rajya Sabha.
• One particular State feels that control of
their dams will go to Centre.
17. Water is practically a State subject
• GRMB and KRMB – AP Reorganization
Act
– 85. (8) The functions of each Board shall
include:
• (a) the regulation of supply of water from the
projects to the successor States …
• (b) the regulation of supply of power
generated…
18. Water is practically a State subject …
• GRMB and KRMB – AP Reorganization
Act …
– 87. (1) The Boards shall ordinarily exercise
jurisdiction on Godavari and Krishna rivers in
regard to any of the projects over headworks
(barrages, dams, reservoirs, regulating
structures), part of canal network and
transmission lines necessary to deliver water or
power to the States concerned, as may be
notified by the Central Government …
19. Water is practically a State subject …
• GRMB and KRMB – Non Functional
– The Boards were established in 2014
– Jurisdiction is yet to be notified due to dispute
on this between the States
– The Boards are practically non functional
20. State of Affairs
• Planning and development of water
resources need to be done at basin scale
which is mostly lacking, particularly in case
of inter-state basins.
• The projects are planned, developed, and
managed by the States according to their
own priorities and needs, ignoring the
needs of other co-basin States which leads
to conflicts.
21. State of Affairs
• There is lack of trust between co-basin
States, resistance to transparency and
data sharing.
• States sometimes defy advice and
directions of Central Government,
Tribunals and even Supreme Court.
22. State of Affairs
• Many a times, the projects are planned
on political considerations rather than
on techno-economic considerations
which leads to sub-optimal utilization
of resources.
• Even the operation of projects is
governed by political considerations
rather than scientific principles, putting
life of public into danger.
23. State of Affairs
• Owing to subsidised water charges and
lack of volumetric metering, there is no
motivation for water users to use water
efficiently.
• The water use efficiencies are,
therefore, generally low and there is no
cost recovery, even to meet O&M
costs.
24. Water for Free: A dilemma

25. Cooperation to Conflicts
• There are about 160 inter-state river
water agreements made in the past which
play significant role in management of
water resources of the country.
• It shows that spirit of cooperation has
been prevailing.
• However, with passage of time, spirit of
conflict has replaced spirit of cooperation.
26. Conflicts in Water Sector
• Between co-basin States
• Between various types of water users
• Flood Moderation and Conservation
needs
27. Conflicts in Water Sector
(mostly
• Between Environmentalists and
project proponents
• Between Govt and People
oustees)
28. Results
• There are:
– Mismanagement
– Wastage of resources
– Public at large is deprived of benefits
29. Private Sector Participation
• The participation of private Sector in
WR projects is almost absent except
for Hydropower projects.
• Apart from cost-recovery issues, the
time and cost over-runs due to
are also
litigations, agitations etc.
deterrents.
32. Centre Has to Play Pro-active Role
• There are very few cases where Central
Government plays pro-active role in
management of water resources.
• However, experience shows that in such
cases, resources are better managed,
conflicts are reduced and decisions are
taken and implemented on the basis of
prescribed principles rather than on
political whims and fancies.
33. Centre Has to Play Pro-active Role …
• In order to achieve most efficient and
judicious utilization of water resources of
the country, there is need of creating
empowered river basin organizations led
by Central government.
• Centre should have even more control on
water resources of International river
basins due to their strategic significance.
34. Private Sector Participation
• There is need to create environment for
increased private sector participation.
• It will ensure that projects are planned
and developed in judicious manner on
techno-economic considerations with full
capital and operation cost recoveries
ensuring financial sustainability and
better water-use efficiencies.
35. Private Sector Participation
• Deserving groups may be provided
subsidies separately funded by the
government.
• Private Sector participation will ensure
that projects / interventions are
prioritized according to their economic
efficiencies.
• Viability gap funding, where required.
