THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVENATION & PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS
(SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)
(a) Central Water Commission (CWC) maintains National Register of Large Dams (NRLD) based on information provided by State Govts/ dam owners. As per NRLD, total numbers of large dams (having reservoirs) completed in the country are 5264 and under construction dams are 437. Dams having hydro-power component are 296 as per NRLD. The live storage capacity of major reservoirs created in the country is 257.812 billion cubic meter (BCM). The State wise total storage capacity of major reservoirs in the country is given at Annexure-I.
(b) & (c) CWC monitors live storage status of 91 reservoirs of the country and issues weekly bulletin on every Thursday. The storage of reservoirs during May to June 2018 is slightly less as compared to average of last 10 years on all India basis. The detail of the weekly live storage of 91 reservoirs for the month of May and June 2018 is given at Annexure II.
(d) The average annual water resources potential in the country was assessed as 1869 BCM and published in CWC report titled ‘Reassessment of Water Resources Potential of India’ (1993). In view of topographical constraints and hydrological features, the utilizable water has been estimated as 1,137 BCM (690 BCM surface water as assessed by CWC and 447 BCM ground water as assessed by Central Ground Water Board). The rest of the water flows into sea/neighboring states.
CWC maintains the hydrological observation sites on various rivers in the country. A table showing average annual flows of terminal sites of CWC on major rivers for last 20 years is at Annexure-III.
(e) National Water Development Agency (NWDA) under the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR,RD&GR) has identified 30 links (16 under Peninsular Component and 14 under Himalayan Component) for preparation of Feasibility Reports under the National Perspective Plan (NPP) for water resources development through inter basin transfer of water, for transferring water from water surplus basins to water-deficit basins.
The pre-feasibility report of the all 30 links have been prepared and circulated to the concerned State Governments by the NWDA. Feasibility Reports of 14 links under Peninsular Component and Feasibility Reports of 2 links and draft Feasibility Reports of 7 links (Indian portion) under Himalayan Component have been completed. Present status, States concerned, rivers to be linked of Inter Basin Water Transfer Links are at Annexure-IV.
