Rajya Sabha
Drinking water has been assigned the top most priority in the National Water Policy. Drinking water is also one of the six components of Bharat Nirman. The measures taken by the Government for promoting awareness and conservation of water include implementation of the schemes of Artificial Recharge of Ground Water through Dugwells, demonstrative artificial recharge projects, Farmers Participatory Action Research Programme and Repair, Renovation and Restoration Water Bodies.
The demand for water to meet various requirements including that for drinking water supply is continuously increasing in view of growing population, industrialization and urbanization. Further, there is temporal and spatial variation in the availability of water in the country. Therefore, awareness of stakeholders for rainwater harvesting and water conservation assumes importance.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Water Resources, Shri Vincent H. Pala in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
