Water in Tamilnadu

Water Resources

Source T.N Development Report 2005

            In this world the third world war may be occur due to  insufficent of water. Our great research workers researched and inform to this UNO.

There is good news for Tamil Nadu in the latest Census 2011 assessment with regard to drinking water needs. The state which has for long battled water scarcity now ranks seventh among other states when it comes to tap water connections.

According to figures, 79.8% of residences in the state have cited tap water to be their primary source of drinking water. On the other hand, this is not likely to quell the daily brawls around the water-pump at street corners. The same data sheet also points out that only 34.9% of households have water supply on their premises, a figure that is on a par with the situation in the desert state of Rajasthan (35%).

The rest of the populace (58.1%) has to opt for water supply at the street corner. The situation is worse in rural areas where only 17% of residences have supply of drinking water. However, only a small number, 7% of the population that lives in remote areas, has to travel long distances to collect water. This time though, activists are all praise for the government's efforts in increasing water availability despite growing demand and increasing scarcity.

"Even in areas where no local water resources are available, the government has managed water supply by drawing on resources in other areas and delivering them in water tankers," said V Ganapathy, a water and sanitation activist. "This we must appreciate." He, however, said that the numerous schemes for water supply in the state today were proving expensive for the government too. "The only solution to this is to implement metered water supply," he said.

"Currently, with the government fixing a flat rate for water, there is much wastage by consumers. Metering will automatically make people cautious about usage." The Tamil Nadu Urban Development Project (TNUDP) has also been executing several water supply schemes in the towns of Tamil Nadu under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) with foreign financial aid to the tune of Rs 2206.13 crore. Of this, 13 projects were sanctioned to supply water to Chennai at a cost of Rs 1180.27 crore.

           

The Water Resources Organisation prepared a State  Framework Water Resource Plan of Tamil Nadu. The annual  water potential of the State including surface and groundwater is assessed as 46,540 MCM (1643 TMC) while the estimated demand is 54,395 MCM (1921 TMC) in 2001 which is likely to go up to 57,725 MCM in 2050.

 The varioussectors are.

Domestic use (urban and rural) is projected to go up from 4 per cent to 6 per cent due to increase in population and due to urbanisation. The domestic requirement would increase by 55.72 percent.

Agriculture use will remain stagnant or may even decrease due to progressive urbanisation.

The share of industry may not change much, but in absolute terms the increase will be about 27.7 per cent.

Provision of 1600 MCM in 2050 would be made for minimum flow in rivers for ecological purpose, which is a new category for water resource planning.

Irrigation

Out of a net sown area of 56 lakh hectares, about 30 lakh hectares (54 per cent) of arable land are irrigated. Since irrigation may take place more than once, the gross irrigated area is of the order of 36 lakh hectares or an irrigation intensity of 120 per cent. Canals account for about 29.2 per cent, tanks for 21.3 per cent and wells for 48.9 per cent of net irrigated area. In 1998-99 the foodgrain output reached a peak of 94 lakh tonnes due to the availability of irrigation2. Surface irrigation potential has largely been exhausted. Area under canal irrigation has remained almost stagnant since the sixties at about 8.5 lakh hectares.

Modernisation of several of the canal system has been taken up under the National Water Management Project and the World Bank funded Water Resources Consolidation Project.

Surface water resources of Tamil Nadu

The total surface water potential of the state is 36 km3 or 24864 M cum.1 There are 17 major river basins in the State with 61 reservoirs and about 41,948 tanks. Of the annual water potential of 46540 million cubic metres (MCM), surface flows account for about half. Most of the surface water has already been tapped, primarily for irrigation which is the largest user. There are about 24 lakh hectares are irrigated by surface water through major, medium and minor schemes. The utilisation of surface water for irrigation is about 90 percent.

Ground Water resources of Tamil Nadu

The utilisable groundwater recharge is 22,423 MCM The current level of utilisation expressed as net ground water draft of 13.558 MCM is about 60 percent of the available recharge, while 8875 MCM (40 percent) is the balance available for use. Over the last five years, the percentage of safe blocks has declined from 35.6 per cent to 25.2 percent while the semi-critical blocks have gone up by a similar percentage. Over-exploitation has already occurred in more than a third of the blocks (35.8 percent) while eight blocks (2 percent) have turned saline. The water level data reveals that the depth of the wells range from an average of 0.93 metres in Pudukottai district to 43.43 metres in Erode. According to the Central Groundwater Board, there has been a general decline in groundwater level in 2003 due to the complete desaturation of shallow aquifers.

 Rural Water Supply

The latest survey in April 2002 indicates that there are 80,421 rural habitations in the State. A habitation is smaller than a village and includes hamlets/clusters of households which have a common water source. A fully covered habitation means that the entire population has access to safe assured drinking water at the level of 40 litres per capita per day (lpcd). The source should be within a distance of 1.6

 Rural Sanitation

The level of sanitation is poor in Tamil Nadu. Less than 15 per cent of households have access to toilets. Only 27 per cent have drainage facilities, of which only 4 per cent covered drainage. Solid waste collection and disposal is virtually non-existent. The Department of Rural Development has been implementing the 'Restructured Central Rural Sanitation Programme' since 1999. The components include the construction of individual toilets, sanitary complexes for women, school sanitation and rural sanitary marts. They have also initiated the 'Total Sanitation Campaign' in phases in many of the districts of Tamil Nadu. TSC emphasises Information, Education and Communication, Human Resource Development and Capacity Development activities to increase awareness.

Surface Water pollution

Industries cannot be set up within 1 km of a river or waterbody. However, the effluents often flow through nallahs or open drains and reach the rivers, lakes, etc. Since the river water is used downstream for irrigation or drinking by  people/livestock, contamination of the river has increasingly become a serious problem in many of the river basins of the State. River basins like Palar, Tamiraparani, Cauvery, Noyyal, Bhavani and Amaravathy face serious pollution problems due to industrial effluents. Sewage and sullage from municipalities and settlements has also increased tremendously due to piped water supply and is contaminating rivers, lakes, tanks, and ground water.

Ground Water Pollution

With greater utilisation of water for industrial and domestic use and also due to the increased use of agricultural chemicals, ground water quality is deteriorating rapidly in the State. Diminished water quality also means that the quantum of fresh water available for particular uses is reduced, or that the water can be used only after treatment. Problems of water quality can be due to natural causes like geological formations or due to sea water intrusion.

In the black cotton soil areas of the State, dissolved salts

are high.

In the coastal areas such as backwaters, estuaries etc.

 To lead a good life we should have a better and proper caution to serve for our generation.
