WATER BUDGET, GROUND WATER AUDIT AND SUSTAINABILITY OF GROUND WATER SOURCES JAL JEEVAN MISSION SURESH G , DISTRICT GROUND WATER OFFICER, BAPATLA
Jal Jeevan Mission Aims To improve the “ EASE of LIVING ” of rural population To provide a F unctional H ousehold T ap Connection (FHTC) to every rural household Providing D rinking W ater of prescribed Q uality (BIS 10500 water quality standards), in A dequate Q uantity (55 lpcd ) , on long-term and regular basis in all seasons GPs/ rural communities to plan, implement, manage, own, operate and maintain their own in-village water supply systems Har Ghar Jal Reported States/ UTs? and Har Ghar Jal Certified States/ UTs?
'Reported' means water supply department of State/ UT has confirmed that water is being supplied through taps to all households, schools and Anganwadi Centers in that administrative unit . Certified' means that the Gram Sabha has passed the resolution after ascertaining the claim of water supply department that all the households, schools and Anganwadi Centers are getting the tap water supply in village. This is carried out after the water supply department provided the certificate to Gram Panchayat declaring that all households are provided with tap water supply.
WHAT IS WATER BUDGET? WHAT IS WATER AUDIT?? DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WATER BUDGET AND WATER AUDIT? WHAT IS SOURCE SUSTAINABILITY? NECESSITY OF THE ABOVE? Role of Ground Water & Water Audit Department.
The inspiration… One-third of humanity will be under acute drinking water scarcity
Water Crisis in India
Water Budget
DISTRIBUTION OF EARTH’S WATER
Water Budget It is a tool to quantify the inflows , outflows , and change in storage in a specified area The basic Water Budget equation is Inflow – Outflow = Change in Storage (P + SW in + Gw in ) – (ET + SW out + GW out ) = ∆S Where, P – Rainfall SW in – Surface water Inflow GW in – Groundwater Inflow ET – Evapotranspiration SW out – Surface water Outflow GW out – Groundwater Outflow ∆S – Change in Storage Water Budget is helpful in the Management of water resources in a given region for drinking water, irrigation, industrial purpose, flood mitigation, abating climate change impacts , etc. WATER BUDGET
Steps involved in Water Budget Step 1: Compute Water Availability – Inflow Step 2: Compute Water Utilization – Outflow Step 3: Compute Water Balance/Budget – Change in Storage Step 4: Allocate Water for Domestic & Drinking water w.r.t 2050 Step 5: Compute Availability for Future Irrigation Use Step 6: Assess the sector-wise water demands w.r.t. - 2050

What is Water Audit ?
Why Water Audit? NITI Aayog report says by 2030 India will face severe water scarcity WATER RESOURCES SCENARIO Andhra Pradesh is one of the predominant agriculture based state in India and about 80% water is used for agriculture The future availability likely reduce to 70%. Therefore considered as a thrust area for water conservation Growing population, rising needs being a fast developing nation, impact of climate change, deepening water conflicts among user groups etc. That’s why we need Water Audit
Benefits of Water Audit

PRESENT WATER RESOURCES SCENARIO Status on Average Annual Water Availability Precipitation received 4000 BCM (100%) Water Resources Potential 1869 BCM (46.7%) Utilizable Water Resources 1123 BCM (28.1%) Ground Water 433 BCM (10.8%) Surface Water 690 BCM (17.2%) (Figures in parentheses are per cent of total precipitation)
Sustainability Challenges Wide spatial and temporal variation of rainfall in the country Increasing population leading to falling per capita water availability Water Stress Index Increased food demand Impact of climate change
Source Sustainability - JJM The maintenance of the desired quantity and acceptable quality standard of water supply services throughout the design life of the water supply systems may be defined as “ Sustainability” The sustainability is concerning Source – Quantity and Quality System – Infrastructures Factors affecting the sustainability of water sources The depletion or lowering of water levels in groundwater and surface water sources Change/degradation of water quality due to overdrawal or contamination by domestic/industrial wastes/wastewater The Key considerations of sustainability activities Shift focus from dependence on a single source to multiple sources of drinking water ex. Conjunctive use Reject management issues to be addressed properly so that the contaminants do not re-enter into water, environment or food. Water demand and budgeting for ensuring household-level drinking water security
The tentative steps involved in achieving source sustainability Collection of basic information and geotagging the asset Assessing the Demand & Supply Assessing the Monsoon Runoff Risk Assessment of the village/source Drinking water source sustainability measures Source protection Groundwater Monitoring Technical support & Financial Support Steps towards Source Sustainability

Precautions to be taken for maintenance Recharge structures should be fitted with properly designed filter media to avoid contamination of aquifer Maintenance/ rejuvenation of existing structures like desilting water bodies, clearing the inlet channels of encroachments/ jungle clearance, strengthening of bunds, repairs to regulatory control assets, etc may be taken up Protective fencing around the pumping well and plantation of shrubs and small trees in the 50 m radius Other Measures District authorities should ensure regular risk assessment of villages To stop wastage of precious groundwater sources, filling up of farm ponds/ tanks by pumping groundwater should be discouraged Water bodies should be kept clean and dumping of garbage in water bodies should be prohibit ed
Step 6. Source Protection Within of 50m radius of Tube well/ Bore well o No Land fill site o No disposal of toxic /polluting substance o No direct infiltration of wastewater/ greywater o Afforestation of area o No soak pit/ magic pit Sinking of additional Tube well/ Bore well within a radius of 250m of existing Ground Water scheme is strictly prohibited as per APWALTA 2002.
Step 7. GW Monitoring Monthly monitoring of water level from at least one bore/ tube well Pre and Post monsoon Water quality monitoring for chemical and biological parameters Maintain daily Pumping Hours record Monitor tube well/ bore well extracting groundwater within 500m radius of drinking water source
Step 8. Technical & Financial Support Technical support can be obtained from G o v e r n m e n ts NGOs, Civil Societies Colleges with Geology Departments Engineering colleges Retired Officers from RWS&S PHED Groundwater Department Geology Department Well planned financial planning is a must Further, Water Audit should be performed to arrest leakages and pilferage
