Profiling Groundwater Resources
The Dynamic Ground Water Resources of the country including Odisha are being periodically assessed jointly by Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and State Governments. The information in this regard has been compiled for various assessment units (mandals/firkas/blocks/taluks etc) in the country including district levels. As per the 2020 assessment, the details of ground water resources in the district of Odisha are given in Annexure.
As per the 2020 assessment, out of the total 6965 assessment units in the country, 4427 units have been categorized as ‘Safe’, where the Annual Ground Water Extraction is less than or, equal to 70% of Annual Extractable Ground Water Resource. In addition, 310 districts (with all assessment units) in the country have been assessed to be falling in the 'Safe' category.
Further, this Department is implementing Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojna – Har Khet Ko Paani - Ground Water Irrigation (PMKSY-HKKP-GW) in ‘Safe’ areas (certain areas of around 96 districts meeting the scheme guidelines) of the country where the stage of groundwater development is less than 60% (and meeting other extant conditions as per the scheme guidelines) in collaboration with States/UTs to utilize the available replenishable groundwater for the benefit of small and marginal farmers.
This Information was given by the Minister of State for Jal Shakti
Shri Bishweswar Tudu in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
