THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVENATION
(PROF.SANWAR LAL JAT)
(a) The norms fixed for fluoride and other chemical contents in supply of water for various purposes including drinking water are given in Annexure I.
(b)&(c) Ground water quality data generated by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) indicates that ground water in various parts in Ten (10) States for Arsenic, Twenty (20) States for Fluoride, Twenty One (21) States for Nitrate, Twenty Six (26) States and Union Territories for Iron, and Fifteen (15) States for Heavy Metals such as Lead, Chromium and Cadmium have concentration higher than the norms, on the date of analysis, prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards. State/UT-wise list / parts of the districts where ground water was found contaminated is given at Annexure-II. Status of contamination of ground water for last three years (2012-15) is given at Annexure-III. Further, Department of Water Supply & Sanitation (DWSS), Government of Punjab has informed that the till date there are 2697 sources where ground water quality is affected by various contaminants like Uranium, Arsenic and Fluoride etc beyond prescribed norms.
(d) Government of India through Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation (MoDWS) supplements the efforts of the States by providing them technical and financial support to the schemes being developed for drinking water supply in the States. MoDWS has informed that 20% of the allocated funds under National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) are earmarked for water quality problems. Further, the States may also utilize up to 67% of funds released under NRDWP for improving water quality of ground and surface water. Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation have informed that as a long term measure, all the State Governments have been advised to provide piped water supply from alternate safe sources to all water quality affected habitations with priority to cover Fluoride and Arsenic affected habitations. Since these mega schemes take a long gestation period for commissioning, the States have advised to set up community water treatment plants in all the remaining Arsenic, Fluoride, Heavy Metals, toxic elements, pesticides and fertilizers affected habitations as a short term measure and provide 8-10 lpcd (litre per capita per day) of safe drinking water on or before March, 2017.
DWSS, Government of Punjab has informed that they have taken various steps which include installation of 1824 RO plants; in addition¸ NITI Aayog, has allocated Rs. 39.35 crore to Punjab for covering all the arsenic and fluoride affected areas in 2016 with at least 8 lpcd water.
