From Director General’s Desk
This quarter’s Jal Vikas of NWDA, namely July 2019 issue is covering the
activities of the reporting period starting from 1st April 2019 to 30th June 2019. It assembled a diverse category of articles that provide a brief insight into the function of NWDA and its concerted efforts in bringing progress in its mandated tasks and related field.
As you all know that the main objective of establishing NWDA is to undertake
scientific studies for optimum utilization of water resources of India and feasibility studies of the Link Proposals coming under Peninsular Rivers Development and Himalayan Rivers Development Components forming part of the National Perspective Plan (NPP), Government of India. The entrusted tasks of NWDA; hence, mainly committed with the preparations of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) by dealing mainly with the water balance studies of indentified diversion points of Link Projects. On achieving the timely completions of these DPRs of both Inter Basin and Intra Bain Water Transfer (IBWT) link projects will ultimately play an important role in taking Consensus from the State Goverments, Sustainable Planning, Optimum Development and Implementation of the River Inlerinking Projects, commonly known as ILR Projects, Government of India.
The inner pages of the issue is mainly devoted to include a Technical article on “Climate Change Impacts on Water Availability of Indian River Basins- Need of Integrated River Basin Management and ILR Implementation”, Technical Digest; ILR in Parliament; Water Resources in Media; and brief discriptions on 6th
(M.K. Srinivas)

Functions of National Water Development Agency
Ministry of Irrigation (now MoWR, RD & GR) formulated a National Perspective Plan (NPP) in the year 1980 for optimum development and utilization of Water Resources of our country India. The NWDA was set up as a Society under the Ministry of Water Resources, RD & GR in 1982 in July to give a feasible shape to the proposal of the NPP with the following functions:
a) To carry out detailed surveys and investigations of possible reservoir sites and interconnecting links in order to establish feasibility of the proposal of Peninsular Rivers Development Component and Himalayan Rivers Development Component forming part of the National Perspective Plan (NPP) for Water Resources Development prepared by the then Ministry of Irrigation (now Ministry of Water Resources, River Development (RD) & Ganga Rejuvenation (GR) and Central Water Commission (CWC).
b) To carry out detailed surveys about the quantum of water in various Peninsular River Systems and Himalayan River Systems which can be transferred to other basins/States after meeting the reasonable needs of the basins/States in the foreseeable future.
c) To prepare Feasibility Reports (FRs) of various components of schemes relating to
Peninsular Rivers Development and Himalayan Rivers Development.
d) To prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of link proposals under the NPP for Water Resources Development after obtaining concurrence of the concerned States.
e) To prepare Pre Feasibility Reports (PFRs)/FRs/DPRs of the Intra–State links as may
be proposed by the States. The concurrence of the concerned co-basin States for such proposals may be obtained before taking up their FRs/DPRs.
f) To undertake/construct/repair/renovate/rehabilitate/implement the projects either of
its own or through an appointed Agency/Organization/PSU or Company and the projects forming part of ILR, for completion of projects falling under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) of which projects under Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP) are also included and similar other projects.

Climate Change Impacts on Water Availability of Indian River Basins- Need of Integrated River Basin Management and ILR Implementation
Jancy Vijayan*and Anjaneyulu** 1.0 Introduction:
Nowadays we are facing many challenges including that of climate change impacts on freshwater availability. Here, it is interesting to note that the global freshwater uses have been tripled during the second half of the twentieth century; population growth more than doubled; and technological and industrial advancements have been happened tremendously. The water users started pumping groundwater from greater depths and harness river water with more manmade structures like barrages and dams [1]. As global demand soars, pressures on the world’s water resources are increasing and making the rivers run dry, lakes disappear, and water tables drop.
Nearly 70 percent of global water withdrawals from rivers, lakes, and aquifers are used for irrigation, while industry and households account for 20 and 10 percent respectively. It is also observed that the pressure on water resources and climate change impacts on water resources particularly acute in arid regions are plunged into creating unevenness in the availability of water resources and water surplus cum shortages.
Much of the water uses over the past half-century is coming from irrigation
sectors, which is used to produce 60 percent of the world’s grain. Globally, irrigated area nearly tripled between 1950 and 2003 and showed its growth from 94 million to 277 million hectares. In 2003 onwards, the per capita irrigated area started dropping when comparing with population growth [1]. Moreover, as people continue to seek better livelihoods, migration of people from rural regions to urban cities is also started increasing and it is predicted that most of the population growth of comingl decades will come from the cities of developing countries and our country, India, will be one among them.
Almost all communities depend heavily on rivers, both for direct and indirect water needs and as sources of energy. As upstream population increases, the water demands of upstream strectches also increases,which in turn making the already congested downstream communities to adjust with lesser water availability for meeting their demands [2]. The adverse impacts will be more when the limited available fresh water resources are distributed unevenly. In the faces of climate change impacts and increasing life expectancy rates as detailed below, the challenges will be increased manifold.
2.0 Significance of Population and Life-Expectancy Growth on Water
The per capita Annual Water Resource (AWR) availability has been used to project country wise water scarcity status. Countries with an AWR per capita availability of 1700 cubic metre (Cum) and above have been termed as countries with surplus water; those with an AWR per capita of less than 1000 Cum are termed as water-stressed countries; and those with an AWR per

capita of 500 Cum and below termed as countries where availability of water is a primary constraint to life sustenance. Under this criterion, in 1955 only seven countries were found to be with water stressed ones. In 1990 this number rose to 20 and it is expected that by the year 2025 another 10 to 15 countries shall be added to this list. It is further predicted that by 2050, 2/3rds of the world population may be faced with water stressed conditions [3].
The Earth Policy Institute Resources on Population and Health forcefully indicated that when assessing the adequacy of water over time, population is the universal denominator to be considered, as the population expands, per capita availability of water shrinks. Just over 1 billion of the earth’s inhabitants live in the industrial countries of Europe, North America, Oceania, and Japan, where populations grow on an average rate of 0.25% a year. Meanwhile, about 5.2 billion people live in the less developed countries, where populations grow at the rate of 1.5% annually. The six countries account for half the annual increase in population worldwide are India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and the United States[4]. Further, the life expectancy rates in all over the world started show increasing trend as shown below:

Under these increases in population and life expectancy growth, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has placed increasing emphasis on adaptation of strategies to address the predicted Global Climate Change (GCC), through its five-year Nairobi Work Programme. It has been framed with the prime objectives of helping countries- particularly to the developing countries; where increase in population is visible in defining and implementing national adaptation strategies. At the European level, where the life expectancy level is more visible, the recent publication of the Green Paper on Climate Change and

Adaptation shows how the European Union is playing a leading role in promoting adaptation strategies. Under these circumstances, an attempt is made to overview on the issues of the GCC impacts and the water availability assessment compilations and studies carried out by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); Central Water Commission (CWC), Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation; and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Delhi relating to Worldwide Regions and Indian River Basins.
3.0 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and its Findings
In 1979 the first “World Climate Conference” organized by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) expressed concern that “continued expansion of man’s activities on earth scalp may cause regional and even global changes of climate”. In 1985 a joint United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Conference involving the WMO and International Council for Science (ICSU) was convened in Villach (Austria) on the theme “Assessment of the Role of CO2 and of Other Greenhouse Gases in Climate Variations and Associated Impacts”. The conference concluded, that “as a result of the increasing greenhouse gases, it is now believed that in the first half of the 21
st century a rise of global mean temperature could occur,
which is greater than in any man’s history.” As a follow-up, UNEP, WMO and ICSU set up an Advisory Group on Greenhouse Gases (AGGG) to ensure periodic assessments of the state of scientific knowledge on climate change and its implications. In 1987, the 10
th
Subsequently, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was constituted in 1988 by the two United Nations organizations namely the WMO and the UNEP, to evaluate the risk of climate change caused by human activity. The IPCC was established to provide the decision-makers and others interested in climate change with an objective source of information about climate change. However, the IPCC does not conduct any research nor does it monitor climate related data or parameters. Its role is to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis on the latest scientific, technical and socio-economic literature produced worldwide, which are relevant to the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change and the observed and projected impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation [6]. Hundreds of scientists all over the world have already contributed to the work of the IPCC as authors, contributors and reviewers.
Congress of the WMO recognized the need for objective, balanced, and internationally coordinated scientific assessment of the understanding of the effects of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases on the earth’s climate and ways in which these changes may impact socio-economic patterns [5].
3.1 Global Climate Change and its Impacts:
Production of the Green House Gases namely the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is considered as one of the major components responsible for creating the GCC and Global Warming and 87 percent of those are found from human-produced carbon dioxide emissions that come from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil. The countries that produce the greatest amount of CO2 per person is measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) in North America, Europe and Australasia [7] as indicated pictorially:

into the atmosphere is now scientifically recognized as a real threat to today's climate change [8].
In all, the IPCC produced Five Assessment Reports (ARs). First (1990)- AR1, Second (1995)-AR2, Third (2001)-AR3, Fourth (2007)-AR4 and Fifth (2014)-AR5. The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) of the IPCC produced a series of Six scenarios and projected the CO2 concentrations as shown in figure. The SRES scenarios represent the outcome of different assumptions about the future course of economic developments, demography and technological changes. The IPCC is currently preparing the AR6 and will be completed in 2022.

In the IPCC reports the climate
change refers as a change in the state of the climate that can be identified (by using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer.
The IPCC reports and the latest special report released in October 2018 indicate that the GCC will have direct linkages with stratospheric ozone layer depletion, air quality, temperature rise, desertification, and degradation of water, forestry and biodiversity. Worldwide projections on temperature and precipitation under the average A2 and B2 GCC scenarios as given below are also illustrated in the IPCC Reports:
Again, the special IPCC Report on Global Warming indicated that:
• Human-induced warming reached approximately 1°C (likely between 0.8°C and 1.2°C) above pre-industrial levels in 2017, increasing at 0.2°C (likely between 0.1°C and 0.3°C) per decade,
• Warming from anthropogenic emissions from the pre-industrial period to the present
will persist for centuries to millennia and will continue to cause further long-term changes in the climate system, such as sea level rise with associated impacts,
• Climate-related risks for natural and human systems are higher for global warming of
1.5°C than at present, but lower than at 2°C. These risks depend on the magnitude and rate of warming, geographic location, levels of development and vulnerability, and on the choices and implementation of adaptation and mitigation options adopted,
12
• By 2100, global mean sea level rise is projected to be around 0.1 metre and lower
with global warming of 1.5°C compared to 2°C. Sea level will continue to rise well beyond 2100, and the magnitude and rate of this rise depend on future emission pathways. A slower rate of sea level rise enables greater opportunities for adaptation in the human and ecological systems of small islands, low-lying coastal areas and deltas,
• Limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to 2ºC is also projected to reduce
increases in ocean temperature as well as associated increases in ocean acidity and decreases in ocean oxygen levels. Consequently, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is projected to reduce risks to marine biodiversity, fisheries, and ecosystems, and their functions and services to humans,
• Climate-related risks to health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, human
security, and economic growth are projected to increase with global warming of 1.5°C and increase further with 2°C,
• Most adaptation needs will be lower for global warming of 1.5°C compared to 2°C.
Limiting the risk from global warming of 1.5°C in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication implies system transitions that can be enabled by an increase of adaptation and mitigation investments, policy instruments, acceleration of technological innovation and behaviour changes,
• Strengthening the capacities for climate action of national and sub-national
authorities, civil society, private sector, indigenous people and local communities can support the implementation of ambitious actions for limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
• People in the context of sustainable development; International Cooperation is a
critical enabler, especially for developing countries and vulnerable regions.
Further, the IPCC reports indicate that more than one-sixth of the world’s population currently lives near rivers. Those rivers that derive their water from melting glaciers or snow will have earlier peak runoff in spring, overall increase in runoff and would have increase in flooding and rockslide risks. Flooding caused by sea-level rise is also expected to affect millions of additional people every year by the end of this century. The s

flooding and erosion, which would further be exacerbated by growing population, increased human infrastructure especially within flood-prone areas. Regions especially at risk are low-lying areas of North America, Latin America, Africa, populous coastal cities of Europe, and crowded delta regions of Asia [9].

activities. The impacts of these changes will be felt differently in different regions of the world. Hence, regional based assessment on impacts is the need of the hour. 4.0 Studies of CWC and IIT-D on Climate Change Induced Water Availability Variations
In many literature surveys, it is indicated that the first necessary step towards adaptation strategy required for climate change is the identification and quantification of possible impacts. The projections by the IPCC suggest that there will be an increase in the frequency and intensity of climate extremes in the 21st century. The recent examples of devastating extreme precipitation impacts happend in developing countries, like the floods that occurred in Pakistan, India, China, Mozambique, Myanmar, and Bangladesh caused death of many people and affected livelihoods of millions of people. The impacts were found to be particularly disastrous when the extreme weather stroked in densely populated urban centres [9].
The World Bank too presents the importance of adaptation on the GCC in the following way:
“Developing countries, and particularly the poorest people in these countries, are the most vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate variability and ongoing and projected climate change. Their economies depend heavily on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, a reliable water supply, and other natural resources. They are generally hindered by limited human capacity and limited access to technology and capital to invest in risk reduction…Thus it is imperative that climate change adaptation is not separated from other priorities but is integrated into development planning, programs and projects” [10].
Hence, it is very much relevant to have a look at the studies conducted by the CWC and IIT-D in the related field to know about the present trend of water resources availabilities and adaptation strategies to be considered as a way forward in the water resources sector.
4.1 Studies conducted by CWC
In the study, it is again indicated that the changes in water quantity are occurring mainly as consequences of global and local changes actuated by environmental factors, climate and human induced changes and the rapid growth in population coupled with increase in economic activities. It is also highlighted that a proper assessment of water resources potential has, therefore, become a prerequisite and without a reliable estimate of availability of the resource, it is impossible to properly plan, design, construct, operate and maintain water resources projects catering to competing demands for irrigation, drought and flood management, domestic and industrial water supply, generation of hydropower, fisheries and navigation.
The study quantified basin scale water wealth by using gauge site discharges,
meteorological data and hydrological modelling approaches and Remote Sensing data along with geo-spatial informations such as water abstractions for domestic, industrial and livestock demands and the study results compared with that of 1993 as shown:

In the 1993 study, average water availability is not conducted based on a
particular period of data, but data set as available had been adopted. However, the study of 2015 conducted for whole basin refers to a common set of data/information pertained to 1985-2015 period.
4.2 Studies Conducted by IIT-Delhi
In the study of IIT-Delhi on climate change impact assessment of water resources of India, it is indicated that the impacts of climate change on the water resources are likely to affect irrigated agriculture, installed power capacity, environmental flows in dry season and higher flows during wet season, thereby causing severe droughts and floods in urban and rural areas. It is also mentioned that although the Brahmaputra is a much bigger river system, the other two largest river systems that cover about 26.1% and 12.9% of the total geographic area of India are the Ganga and Indus Rivers. Hence, it is important for the water resources assessment and management of these three river basins of Brahmaputra, Ganga and Indus and their flows through the Indian Territory so as to ensure integrated and sustainable development of the water resources of all river basins of India [11].
From the study of IIT-D, it is observed that there are changes in precipitation
values but with varying patterns of increasing and decreasing values. Hence, a common trend couldn’t be possible to arrive at for all the river basins. The study result is obtained by using a distributed hydrological model, namely SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tools) and reveals that the climate change challenges exist in water-resources management practices and it adds further uncertainty to the water resources management [12]. It is also noticed that the study not incorporated any man-made changes like dams, diversions, etc happened when considering one scenario to another in succession while predicting the impact of climate change on the water resources. Instead, it is used the assumption that the land uses shall not change over time. A total of 90 years of simulation has accordingly been performed; 30 years each belonging to Base Line (BL), near-term or Middle Century (MC) and long-term or End Century (EC) climate scenarios. But, it is a fact that the assumptions used were not deviated from the realities as far as Indian water resources sector and its developmental activities are concerned, where man-made developmental activities are changing the ecosystems and landscalps almost every year.
16
5.0 Is Climate Change a Myth or Reality?
From the above studies and findings, it is necessary to accept the fact that the Climate change is already started showing its impacts in our regions and river basins. Hence, it is no longer can be considered as a myth and is to be considered as a reality and one should be prepared with adequate adaptive measures and attain capacity to take up the future challenges.
Still today, the uncertainties related to climate change impacts and
vulnerabilities are often considered as an impediment for concrete and immediate action. The uncertainty is a fundamental component of climate impacts and cannot, in itself, be used as an excuse for inaction. Released in April 2007, the IPCC’s 4th Assessments have been provided the “tipping point” for governments and many corporations to accept that climate change is a real threat to societies and ecosystems. In the Report, it is informed that the global climate has already warmed 0.74 ºC since the beginning of the twentieth century. Adaptation concerns are based on the identification of likely impacts of global warming at national, local and household levels and are increasingly focused on the development of both proactive and reactive coping mechanisms to soften, if not avoid, those impacts. 5.1 India’s Stand on GCC Approach
Recently news appeared in News Paper [13], it is indicated that despite United State’s withdrawal from Paris Agreement on Climate Change, there is wide consensus on the need to take urgent steps to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Yet not many among the wealthiest countries appear on course to achieving that goal. As far as the G20 nation’s stand are concerned, since the G20 nations represent two-thirds of the world’s population, it is needed to roughly halve emissions by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
At the current level of actions committed by each signatory called Nationally
Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the global temperature is set to increase by 3.20C by 2030. If all Governments maintain similar NDCs as Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, global temperatures would rise by more than 40C by 2030. If so, Agrentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Turkey and USA are likely to miss their NDC targets for 2030. India’s NDC is closest to be 1.50
With the recent green policies adopted by India, especially in industrial and power sector, like the National Electricity Plan, India is on track to meet the 1.5
C limit as set by the Paris Agreement. 5.2 Measures to be adopted by India in its Water Sector
0C target. The government of India is also targeting a total forest cover of one-third of
17
the total land area. It is currently at 24%. India has the lowest emissions per capita amongst from transportation of countries in the G20.
However, India has to go a long way in the water sector towards taking
adaptive mitigating and controlling measures for addressing the frequent occurrence of floods and droughts and its additional disastrous impacts due to the predicted climate change scenarios. Especially in the water resources sector, hence, India has to go with an integrated approach in river basin planning and development followed by management and monitoring measures by considering the population and life expectancy growths in one hand and economical and ecological stability and sustenance in other hand. Here, efficiency build up in the water sector under various utilizations is also to be made prime concern. 5.3 Role of NWDA in Addressing Climate Change Impacts:
As indicated above, the impact of climate change is likely to adversely affect demand/supply scenario of water in various river basins. In order to bridge the gap between demand and supply and to check the likely adverse impacts of climate change, short term as well as long term measures need to be adopted in each river basin in an integrated manner to use water resources optimaly. In the process, Inter Basin Water Transfers and Intra-Basin Water Transfers (IBWTs) commonly known as Inter-Linking of Rivers (ILRs) would also have to be considered along with other short span in-basin developmental options/projects on prima facie basis. It is imperative to highlight and appraise State Government Departments, General Public, NGOs and Medias to propocate about positive impacts of creations of additional storages through judicious mix big and small water resources impounding structures for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change and boosting the preparedness measures towards water conservations and water stability issues.
NWDA may also take initiatives to carry out the following steps as way forward to implement ILR projects in a sustainable mode:
1. The regions of the country, India may be identified, demarked and propagated
for extreme weather events (intense rainfall and drought with real time predictions) along with frequency/intensity of each event, so that corrective measures may be adopted with the support of general public and concerned State Governments for the planning of integrated river basin development, optimum water utilizations including through ILRs to reduce the adverse impacts of local Climate Change events and predicted floods and drought events, which are hitting in the river terrains of India. Here use the latest GIS and Remote Sensing Technologies for updating the data and related special informations and required attributes for authentic analysis,
2. Conduct/update detailed water balance study reports of each river basin as a whole and also at identified diversion points considering the State identified projects in totalities that are already in existing, ongoing and proposed the stages and also assert on performance efficiency evaluations of existing projects on annual basis and viability in speeding up of excution and commissioning of ongoing and proposed projects under short term and long term adaptitive and mitigative measures required for addressing the predicted Climate Change scenarios,
3. Implementation of in-basin projects and ILRs in co-ordination and consensus of
concerned State Governments so as to ensure timely planning/development/
18
implementation strategies for better operation, control and management of each Project/ILR system, and
4. Implementation of Project/ILR may also be addressed on how to increase ensured and improved environment/irrigation/energy/employment facilities to increase food, job and power productions sustainably. Also ensure that it will in-turn help to check the migration of people from rural to urban areas so as to make urban areas less densely populated and water stressed.
6.0 Conclusion
As indicated above the ILR projects both Inter/Intra States identified by NWDA in consultation with the concerned State Governments of India is one of the coping mechanisms and adaptive measures for addressing the adversities of the climate change impacts. Here, NWDA may be concentrated in giving first thrust to in-basin development by following the National Water Policy Frameworks to plan, Finalize and complete the in-basin water resources projects in stages based on short terms and long terms, say by 2025-2030 periods.
For making the proposed ILR projects as an effective option, NWDA may carry out the detailed water balance studies of all River Basins of India at proposed diversion points as a mandatory one on real time basis while also considering the findings of CWC/IITD studies. NWDA studies may be supported with latest relevant data (atleast two years prior to study year) and advanced technologies such as GIS and RS techniques so as to enable informed and analysed decision making leading to sustainable and integrated development in the water resources sector of India.

ILR in Parliament
Here, the ILR issues raised, which are of distinctive in nature, in both the houses of Parliament during the Budget session which were already projected (upto 30th
A. Lok Sabha
June, 2019) on the Parliment of India website (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) for the information and reference to our readers/stakeholders.
1.1 Whether the Government proposes any special scheme to inter-link the
rivers in the country; if so, the names of the schemes and the changes made in previous schemes, if any; and the names of the rivers in Bihar considered to be linked under the riverlinking project and the timeframe set to complete the same?
The National Perspective Plan (NPP) was prepared by the then Ministry of Irrigation (now Ministry of Jal Shakti) in August 1980 for water resources development through inter basin transfer of water, for transferring water from water surplus basins to water-deficit basins. Under the NPP, the NWDA has identified 30 links (16 under Peninsular Component & 14 under Himalayan Component) for preparation of Feasibility Reports (FRs). The details of above river linking projects viz., rivers, States concerned is given at Annexure-I. Under the Himalayan Component of NPP for Water Resources Development, the following 5(five) links are concerned with the State of Bihar: 1) Manas-Sankosh-Teesta-Ganga(MSTG) link project, 2) Kosi-Mechi link project(entirely lies in Nepal) 3) Kosi-Ghaghara link project, 4) Chunar-Sone Barrage link project, 5) Sone Dam-Southern Tributaries of Ganga link project The PFR of all the above 5 links have been completed and circulated to the concerned States and concerned Members of NWDA. Further, Government of Bihar has suggested the following 7(seven) intra-state link projects for preparation of PFRs: 1) Kosi-Mechi link project 2) Barh – Nawda (Pump Scheme) link project 3) Kohra – Chandravat [now Kohra – Lalbegi] link project 4) Burhi Gandak-Noon-Baya-Ganga link project 5) Bagmati-Burhi Gandak (through Belwadhar) link project 6) Kosi (Bagmati) – Ganga link project 7) Kosi-Adhwara-Bagmati Link NWDA completed the PFR of all the above seven Intra-State link projects. Subsequently, the DPRs of Kosi-Mechi and Burhi Gandak-Noon-Baya-Ganga link projects have been completed by NWDA. The implementation of river link projects involves various steps. The stage of implementation of a project would be reached after its DPR is prepared with the consensus of concerned States (if required) and the requisite Statutory clearances are obtained. Thus, the implementation of the projects will take varying periods of time.

1.2 Whether it is a fact that most of the time devastating flood occurs due to
non-interlinking of rivers and if so, the details thereof; whether rivers are likely to be interlinked in Haryana State also and if so, the details thereof along with the names of rivers?
Floods are natural calamity that lndia faces almost every year, in varying degrees of magnitude. The frequent occurrence of floods can be attributed to various factors, including wide variations in rainfall both in time and space with frequent departures from the normal pattern, inadequate carrying capacities of rivers, river bank erosion and silting of river beds, landslides, poor natural drainage in flood prone areas, snowmelt and glacial lake out bursts. The interlinking of rivers project has been proposed to divert the surplus waters to deficit areas through inter-basin water
24
transfer links. The floods can be moderated to a certain extent due to the storages created for Inter Basin Water Transfer. No rivers in Haryana State are covered under the Interlinking of Rivers project of NPP. However, the proposed Yamuna-Rajasthan link under Himalayan Component envisages benefits to Haryana State. B. Rajya Sabha 1.1 Whether Government plans to undertake any initiative to interlink and
nationalize rivers in the country; whether Government plans to interlink the Cauvery river across the States of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and if so, the details thereof''?
The NPP was prepared by the then Ministry of Irrigation (now Ministry of Jal Shakti) in August 1980 for water resources development through inter basin transfer of water, for transferring water from water surplus basins to water-deficit basins. Under the NPP, the NWDA has identified 30 links (16 under Peninsular Component & 14 under Himalayan Component) for preparation of FRs. No proposal is under consideration of the Central Government for nationalization of the rivers. Under the Peninsular Component of NPP, Mahanadi-Godavari-Krishna-Pennar-Cauvery-Vaigai-Gundar linking scheme has been identified as the Nine link system. Mahanadi-Godavari is the mother link of this system. Cauvery (Kattalai)-Vaigai-Gundar link project is the last leg of the Nine link system in which the States concerned are Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry(UT). NWDA has prepared the FR of this link project during 2004 and circulated to concerned States. The quantum of water meant for diversion through the link canal mainly depends on the deliveries of surplus flows of Mahanadi and Godavari basins from the preceding upper links through the Mahanadi-Godavari-Krishna-Pennar-Cauvery link schemes.

Water efficiency to manage rising energy needs
Times of India, New Delhi Dated : May 17, 2019
India is a growing econo-my and Its demand for energy Is increasing with time to achieve the development needs. The total demand for electricity in India is expected to cross 950,000 MW by2030. However energy security is Inex-tricablylinked to the availability of water. Both energy demand and supply sectors need water for various processes. For production of energy, water is an indispensable input at all the stages including the extraction of fuel, refining and washing of fuel as well as thermal production of electricity. According to a study conducted by Niti Aayog. India has 18% of wold’s population and only 4% of the world’s water resources, we are already a water-stressed nation and per capita water availability is declining rapidly. In fact, most of the power plants in India are located in water stressed regions of the country thus adding more pressure to the finite water resource. With the depleting water resources in the country, achieving energy security is going to be a big challenge if water is not given due consideration while planning energy policy and programmes. It is important for all the energy demand and supply sectors to use water efficiently and minimise wastage. Besides reducing water wastage, all the sectors can adopt various water conservation measures like rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, waste-water recycle and reuse, etc, This would reduce the burden on fresh water resources and shift the sector towards water neutrality. Also inefficienty water use at household level is also one of the reasons for overall poor water efficiency. In this sector industrial sector in India has generally 2.5-3 times more specific water consumption compared to existing International plants. Under National Action Plan for Climate Change of Governmet of India one of the missions is the National Water Mission. One of the objectives of the National Water Mission is to increase water use efficiency by 20% in all the sectors and there is a strong need to give impetus to this mission and make some changes to other existing policies and regulatory framework. Wastewater to considered as a resource which can be reused and agriculture is one such sector which as high potential for using treated wastewater. There should also be strong alignment and synergies between various departments dealing with water resources. State Water Resources Department and Irrigation and Command Area Development department, Water Board (Urban Local Body), etc. should chart out programmes and plan together for ensuring Improved water use efficiency.

The day is observed to generate awareness in the country among all sections of people about the danger of terrorism and violence its effect on the people, society and the country as a whole. The activities suggested for the day was included debates, discussions, symposium, pledge taking ceremony and screening of films.
An important feature of the observance of the Anti-Terrorism Day is the ‘pledge –taking’ ceremony in all Government offices, public sector undertakings and other public institutions. In compliance to the Ministry of Jal Shakti order, pledge taking ceremony was organised in NWDA (HQ), New Delhi and all other field offices.
Every year, on 31st
• The negative impact that tobacco has on people’s lung health, from cancer to chronic respiratory disease, tuberculosis (TB) and air pollution and
May, the World Health Organization (WHO) and global partners celebrate “World No Tobacco Day”- (WNTD). The annual campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and second-hand smoke exposure, and to discourage the use of tobacco in any form.
The focus of WNTD-2019 is on "Tobacco and Lung Health." The campaign proposed contained the increased awareness creations on:
• The fundamental role lungs play for the health and well-being of all people. It is expected that the WNT D- 2019 so campaigned would raise awareness
mainly on the following:
• risks posed by tobacco smoking and second-hand smoke exposure; • dangers of tobacco smoking to lung health; • magnitude of death and illness globally from lung diseases caused by tobacco,
including chronic respiratory diseases and lung cancer; • emerging evidence on the link between tobacco smoking and tuberculosis
deaths; • implications of second-hand exposure for lung health of people across all age
groups; • importance of lung health to achieving overall health and well-being; • feasible actions and measures to key audiences, including the public and

3. International Yoga Day
21st June is observed as International Yoga Day(IDY) every year. This practice
started in 2015, when at the initiative of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the United Nations General Assembly took a historic decision to declare 21st June as the IDY. This worldwide acceptance of Yoga is a matter of pride for our country, as Yoga is an integral part of our cultural and spiritual heritage.
Government servants and other stakeholders of different Ministries/ Departments are an important target group that hopes to rope in, into the Yoga movement. The observation of IDY on 21st
June 2019 was made as central event of IDY, as in the previous years. Along with that Mass Yoga Demonstrations were also held at various places of our country and worldwide based on Common Yoga Protocol (CYP) and the objective of the exercise was not just a one-day celebration, but to continue as a routine way of life sustenance. The Government's aim is to make Yoga an integral part of the citizens' lifestyle and thereby secure a healthy life for all.
Thus, it aimed to make all participants well aware of the immense rewards that the pursuit of Yoga can bring to individual and family, and thereby inspire them to continue the practice of Yoga beyond the Yoga Day. The CYP is a 45 minutes sequence of Yoga exercises designed by Yoga Experts in the country with the objective of maximizing the well-being of its people. The details of the CYP in the forms of e-book and video could be downloaded from the website yoqa.ayush.gov.in.
In NWDA the IYD was celebrated at Palika Bhawan, New Delhi and else where during the early hours of 7.00 am to 8.30 am with the guidance of Yoga Experts. All the Officers and Staff of NWDA took part very enthusiastically in the scheduled Yoga Sessions.
