Abstract/Description: | Nearly a billion people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water. If we don=t care, then the number of those who would be badly in need of potable water could swell to a mind- boggling 2.5 billion in just 25 years and more shockingly, the majority of these people would be in India the center and states alone can-not expected to tackle the problem which calls for people=s Participation in tackling water scarcity. India receives about 4000 billion cubic meters (bcm) of rainfall every year of which 1869 bcm flows off as average annual runoff in the various rivers of the country. Due to geographical limitations only about 890 bcm of surface water can be utilized in addition to 423 bcm of replenishable ground water. Madhya Pradesh in spite of all its sources remains a state of developmental paradoxes of a gross cropped area of 26.126 (1998-99) million ha of agricultural land only 4.918 million ha have any kind of assured irrigation of a net cropped area of 19.954 (1998-99) million ha only 6.172 (1998-99) million ha are actually double cropped. Yet the state remains the source for all the major river systems of central India receiving on average rainfall of 1150 mm annually. With most agriculture falling in rain fed category the incidence of drought has become a more or less perpetual feature. During the last two decades, droughts have occurred almost every year in one part or other in India, of them widespread are 1965-66, 1972-73, 1979-80, 1985-86 and 2000-01. As many as 14 districts of the state are classified as semi arid and another 21 as dry sub-humid while almost as much as 80 per sent of total cropped area is classifiable as belonging to the rain fed category always leading to the possibility of vide and unpredictable variations in the agricultural production from year to year. Added to this in the relentless and rapid depletion of the natural resource base in the form of ground water, soil and vegetative cover as the pressure on them mounts. |
