The Special Secretary (WR, RD & GR) observed that the Advisory Board of the National Water /Vlission comprised of a large number of exp2rts, former Secretaries of Ministry of \Nater Resources and other dignitaries. It will be a good idea to utilize their expertise.
The Hon'ble Minister (WR, RD & GR)) invited the experts and other participants to give
suggestions on the agenda of the meeting:
(l) Dr. S.K. Sarkar (Retd. Secretary, WR) Director, Water Resources Division, TERI, New Delhi,suggested that there is a need to undertake water conservation measures in theindustrial sector. There is a lot of scope for water savings in the range of 30-40% bystudying various sectors in the industry. There is a very good scope for utilization ofmunicipal waste water after treatment in industrial sector.
(2) Dr. Kirit Parikh .. former Member of the Planning Commission, suggested that there is aneed for policy changes for Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM), utilization ofmunicipal waste water, installation of adequate capacity 5TPs to treat waste water,provision of Operation & Maintenance (O & NJ) funds for- the proper functioning of STPs,etc. He also emphasized that to address the Climate Change Issues, there is a need tostudy Frequency of rainfall pattern and issue of advisory to the States/UTs in case ofdrnughts/floods. A massive programme from groLind water re-charge is to be undertaken
m over-exploited areas of the country. The large floods should b.e studied upto microlevel and proper modelling and forecasting of flood warning system may be installed.

(.3) Dr. D.K. Chadha,. Retd. Chairman, CGWB, remarked that he was involved in the
formulation of a plan for 170 demonstration projects from Golden Temple in Punjab to
Kurukshetra in 1-/aryana. He has worked for the Maharashtra Area for undertaking
feasibility study of utilization of. deep ground water. There is a need for utilization of
treated waste water for ground water recharge in the areas where rain fall is very less. A
guideline may be developed for improving water use efficiency of ground water pump set
which will save water as well as energy. The work of TISS for selection of NGO's for water
conservation may be decentralised. The training of NGOs should include utilization of ground water and depletion of ground water table.
(4) Shri. D.K. Manavalan, Ex-Director, AFPRO, mentioned that there is a need for NWM to
work in the following areas:
(a) Participatory Irrigation Management;
(b) Water audit and water budget;
(c) Ground Water Recharge; and
(d) Involvement of Panchayats in water planning and distribution.
(5) Shri Avinash C. Tyagi, Secretary General, /CID, indicated that there is an urgent need for
preparation of drought management plan and development of drought monitoring
information system by utilizing information of rainfall pattern through satellite imageries
and modelling. Drought monitoring index may be developed for each area on weeklybasis.
(6) Shri C.M. Pandey, Additional Commissioner, (NRM), Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers
Welfare, Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare stated that adoption of crops
using less water may be encouraged. For improving water use efficiency, micro and drip
irrigation system may be extensively used. Recently launched e-Market by the
government of India for marketing Agriculture products online as per prevalent market
rate may be utilised. The Integrated Watershed Management Programme may be
extended to the catchment areas where major & medium irrigation projects have been
constructed so that capacity of the reservoir and its life may be increased by minimizingerosion of silt in catchment.
(7) Sh. Ramesh Rawal, BAIF, mentioned that Central Po!/ution Control Board (CPCB) may be
included as Member of Advisory Board. Pilot projects on transportation and utilisation ofwaste water may be undertaken.
The Hon'ble Minister (WR, RD & GR) reiterated that Expert Groups should be constituted
from within the Advisory Board for various water-related issues. The Advisory Board meeting
may be held twice in a year. Further, 1-/on'ble Minister requested Dr. D.K. Chadha to send a note
on his works done during the period of drought in Gujarat on demonstration ponds and hand pumps.
