Govt plans to prioritise projects for conservation of water resources -Vishwa Mohan

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: With the year 2015 drawing to a close, the Centre has proposed to give a new push to managing the country's water resources by prioritizing its activities for 2016 when it will look beyond Ganga to initiate new projects and complete the ongoing ones.

Setting up of the National Bureau of Water Use Efficiency, modernization\expansion of flood forecasting network of the Central Water Commission (CWC), completion of the contentious Polavaram project in Andhra Pradesh and launching Yamuna rejuvenation plan are some of the key proposals which are to be taken up by the water resources ministry in a big way in 2016.

Enlisting under proposed initiatives, the ministry, in its year-end review note, mentions rejuvenation of Yamuna among other things.

Though cleaning of the river has been going on since 1993 when the Center had started the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP), it has so far not produced a desired result due to a huge gap between demand and availability of sewage treatment capacity and lack of fresh water in the river.
