NITI Aayog has ranked Rajasthan at No.1 among the states in water
conversation as it registered a significant increase in the level of
ground water.
Shriram Vedire, President, Rajasthan River basin
and Water Resources Planning Authority, said on Tuesday the NITI Aayog's
report confirmed that the water level has increased in state due to
water conservation structures built under Chief Minister's Jal
Swawlamban Abhiyaan programme.
Also, there has been an increase in irrigation capacity by 81 per cent.
The
innovative techniques adopted under the project such as geo-tagging and
surveying with the help of drone while engaging people who too
participated actively in the campaign is something which other states
should follow and adopt, said Vedire.
A total of 4 lakh water
conservation structures were created and 1.5 million plantations were
done in last three years under the directions of Chief Minister
Vasundhara Raje.
With these efforts, the ground water level has
risen by 5 feet in around 21 districts. Also, there has been a decrease
in distributing water through tankers by 56 per cent.
Looking at
the significant impact of the initiatives taken by the state government,
NITI Aayog has directed other states to take similar initiatives in
water conservation, rehabilitation of water resources and irrigation
management.
