Live storage at present constitutes only 10% of the total water potential of the country. Hand in hand technology development in drilling and pumping methods has paved the way for massive exploitation of groundwater mainly for irrigation (85%) and for industry and domestic purposes (15%). Such a localized over drawl of ground water has to be compensated adequately by harnessing surplus monsoonal flows along with expansion of water storage capacities in enhancing the water availability. Stress would need to be laid on conjunctive use of surface and ground water in irrigated commands. Tube wells and wells are the major sources of irri.…
