COMPOSITE WATER MANAGEMENT INDEX
Key findings of report
9 Indicators
across source augmentation (local water bodies, ground water), supply-side management ( major/med irrigation, watershed devp.) Demand-side (irrigation, on-farm water use), drinking water (urban, rural), Policy and governance
Performance of states
14/ 24 non-Himalayan states analysed score below 50%. Gujarat is the best performer
Food security risk
UP, Haryana are bottom performers which are major food producing states
Priority in National Agenda
many water scarce state have performed better (Gujarat, MP, AP)
Worst water crisis
~50% population face extreme water stress
75% households don't have in-house water supply
6% loss to GDP by 2030
WB estimates show that by 2030, India will be water stressed
Key issues
Water pollution
: Almost 70% of the water resources are identified (i/c ground water contamination)
Poor farming practices
Lack of Coordination among States
Climate change
Increasing Frequency of Drought
53% population depends primarily on agriculture for survival, Average decline in precipitation (1050 mm in 1970 to 1000 mm 2015)
Case studies
Madhya Pradesh’s ‘Bhagirath Krishak Abhiyan’:
construction of thousands of farm ponds also supported by NABARD
Andhra Pradesh’s online water dashboard
mapped 100% of its critical and over-exploited units and constructed recharge infrastructure
Community Managed Water Supply Programme (Gujarat):
household-level tap water connectivity
Way forward
Amendment in CWMI methodology
more broad based to include crop water efficiency, household- drinking water quality
Mobilize
community participation
:
Adopting hydrological-basin approach
(basin across state rather than admin boundary approach)
Provide adequate
capacity building and technical support
Augmenting sources of clean drinking water supply and treatment technologies
Enable data-backed decision making
Creating
National Irrigation Management Fund
(NIMF):
Leverage private sector expertise
Fostering Cooperative and competitive
Federalism
Other facts
Water is state subject
Recognized as FR under Right to life by SC
Water stress (<1700 cum annual per capita availability)
Water scarce- (<1000 cum annual per capita availability)
