2017-18 15.00 1.17
The State/UT wise details of funds allocated and released for carrying out Base Line studies, funds allocated and utilized by the States/UTs for State Specific Action Plan (SSAP) and funds sanctioned for other Pilot Projects during the last three years are at Annexure II a, II b and II c respectively.
(e) Water being a State subject, initiatives on water governance is primarily States’ responsibility. In order to achieve the goals, NWM initiated preparation of State Water Budget by developing a template to be filled in by the State Governments as a part of their State Specific Action Plan for water sector (SSAP-Water).
National Water Mission has taken an initiative to bridge the critical water governance gap through an institutional mechanism of State Water Budgeting on the lines similar to that of financial budgeting. Under State Water Budgeting, all sources of water viz., Rainfall, Glaciers, Springs, Rivers, Water storage structures, Wetlands, Tanks, Ground water, Coastal water and Waste water are measured/ estimated in terms of availability, utilizability, supply, demand and consumption on an annual basis taking 1st June (start of water year) as a reference. Simultaneously water (Utilizable) is allocated to various sectors- Forestry & wildlife, Farm Sector, Industry & Infrastructure, Establishments and Institutions and Drinking water for domestic use, based on past usage like. The model provides flexibility to meet the emerging demands with a revision of allocations subject to a condition that annual water use should not exceed estimated annual water availability.
