The State Governments formulate the proposals for flood management and such eligible proposals which secure all mandatory clearance including investment clearance of Planning Commission are sent to Ministry of Water Resources for availing central assistance through the monitoring agencies for approval under Flood Management Programme. In October, 2013, the Cabinet approved continuation of Flood Management Programme during XII Plan. Under this Programme, a total of 97 new flood management projects having all mandatory clearances were received and the same were approved during the years 2012-13 to 2014-15 of XII Plan. The total utilisable water resource in the country has been estimated by Central Water Commission as 1123 Billion Cubic Metre ( BCM) of which 690 BCM is surface water resource and 433 BCM is ground water resource. It has been estimated in the year 2009 by Central Water Commission (CWC) that about 450 BCM of surface water is being utilised for various purposes. Further, Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) has also assessed in 2009 that about 243 BCM of ground water is being utilised for various purposes. The rest of the water could be considered to be currently flowing into sea flows and the neighbouring countries as also being lost due to evaporation. During every monsoon, the Central Water Commission (CWC) monitors on monthly basis the identified glacial lakes and water bodies having water spread area more than 50 hectare. Any untoward growth in size of such lakes is informed to the concerned State Governments and then high resolution monitoring of such lakes is carried out through National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). |
