Area :
Drought-affected villages and villages in rural and remote areas
Plan Implementation Process :
As per the Groundwater Act, the Groundwater Survey and Development Agency studies the groundwater levels in monsoon and observation wells and prepares a report on potential water shortages.
This report is submitted to the Collector, who processes the declaration of a potential water scarcity area as per the government decision (3 February 1999, 27 February 2008, 25 October 2008).
All Gram Panchayats study the situation in the villages and determine whether there is water scarcity or not, and also prepare resolutions proposing measures to alleviate water scarcity.
The Rural Water Supply Department prepares the time frame, measures and plans for each village as per the resolution at the district level.
The plan for potential water shortage is approved by the people (Ma.) and approved by the Collector.
The villages included in the scheme are surveyed by a geologist.
After receiving administrative approval from the Collector, the measures are implemented.
Advantages :
Villagers do not have to face water shortages due to the provision of drinking water supply in potential drought-prone areas before water shortages occur.
