POOR WATER MANAGEMENT UNDER NREGS

Edition-3


As a result of it, construction of new structures in the upper catchments produces negative effects downstream, in the form of reduced flows into tanks and reservoirs (Bachelor et al., 2002; Kumar et al., 2008). It is important to mention here that none of the small river basins in the country are gauged (Kumar et al., 2006), with the result that there are no official data on their runoff generation potential. Decentralized water harvesting efforts at the village level, which are un-coordinated at the level of the large watersheds or the river basin, therefore result in over-appropriation of surface water from catchments.
