Read the passage and answer the following questions.

Seeing India’s looming water crisis through the locus of ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ not only allows a better grasp of the

causative factors but also enables a stronger grip on the strategies to be deployed to reverse the water crisis.

Fundamental to this is a preliminary understanding of the sources from which the country draws water to meet its

varying needs. In the rural areas, 80%-90% of the drinking water and 75% of the water used for agriculture is drawn

from groundwater sources. In urban areas, 50%-60% of the water supply is drawn from groundwater sources,

whereas the remaining is sourced from surface water resources such as rivers, often located afar, in addition to

lakes, tanks and reservoirs.

According to the composite water management index released by the think tank NITI Aayog in 2019, 21 major cities

(including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad) were on the brink of exhausting groundwater resources, affecting

about 100 million people. The study also points out that by 2030, the demand for water is projected to be twice the

available supply.

A significant, and by no means less worrying, example of the water crisis that unfolded before our eyes was in

Chennai in 2019, where life came to a standstill and parts of the city went without piped water for months. Many

have cited the poor rainfall received in Chennai in the previous year as one of the main reasons for the water crisis.

Though it is true, the chief factor is that the city has been built by incrementally encroaching floodplains and paving

over lakes and wetlands that would have otherwise helped the process of recharging groundwater. The lack of

space for water to percolate underground prevented rainwater from recharging the aquifers. This was further

exacerbated by the loss of green cover (which would have otherwise helped water retention) to make way for

infrastructure projects. Such a situation, on the one hand, leads to flooding during normal rainfall due to stagnation,

and on the other hand leads to drought-like conditions due to the prevention of underground water storage.
IBPS RRB Office Assistant 2021 Mains Previous Year Paper

If the Government is serious about addressing the water crisis in urban areas, the Ministry of Water Resources must

reconfigure its relationship with other Ministries and Departments (Urban Development, Local Self-Government

and Environment). This would be for enhanced integration and coordination through effective land and water

zoning regulations that protect urban water bodies, groundwater sources, wetlands and green cover while

simultaneously working to enhance waste water recycling and water recharge activities targeting aquifers and

wells through rainwater harvesting.

In rural areas, the situation is no different, as the acute water crisis in Punjab shows. The draft report of the Central

Ground Water Board concluded that Punjab would be reduced to a desert in 25 years if the extraction of its

groundwater resources continues unabated; 82% of Punjab’s land area has seen a huge decline in groundwater

levels, wherein 109 out of 138 administrative blocks have been placed in the ‘over exploited’ category.

Concomitantly, cultivation of water intensive crops such as paddy have further aggravated water depletion, even

turning water saline. Immediate measures need to be taken to manage and replenish groundwater, especially

through participatory groundwater management approaches with its combination of water budgeting, aquifer

recharging and community involvement.

The Ministry of Jal Shakti, last year, had announced an ambitious plan to provide water connections to every

household in India by 2024. In view of the ongoing erosion of water resources and an ever-increasing demand for

water, the thrust should not be on promising water supply. Instead the aim should be towards protecting and

conserving water resources on the one hand and minimising and enhancing efficiency of water usage on the other.

Question No. 121

Options :

1. 40%- 50%

Seeing India’s looming water crisis through the locus of ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ not only allows a better grasp of the

causative factors but also enables a stronger grip on the strategies to be deployed to reverse the water crisis.
IBPS RRB Office Assistant 2021 Mains Previous Year Paper

Fundamental to this is a preliminary understanding of the sources from which the country draws water to meet its

varying needs. In the rural areas, 80%-90% of the drinking water and 75% of the water used for agriculture is drawn

from groundwater sources. In urban areas, 50%-60% of the water supply is drawn from groundwater sources,

whereas the remaining is sourced from surface water resources such as rivers, often located afar, in addition to

lakes, tanks and reservoirs.

According to the composite water management index released by the think tank NITI Aayog in 2019, 21 major cities

(including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad) were on the brink of exhausting groundwater resources, affecting

about 100 million people. The study also points out that by 2030, the demand for water is projected to be twice the

available supply.

A significant, and by no means less worrying, example of the water crisis that unfolded before our eyes was in

Chennai in 2019, where life came to a standstill and parts of the city went without piped water for months. Many

have cited the poor rainfall received in Chennai in the previous year as one of the main reasons for the water crisis.

Though it is true, the chief factor is that the city has been built by incrementally encroaching floodplains and paving

over lakes and wetlands that would have otherwise helped the process of recharging groundwater. The lack of

space for water to percolate underground prevented rainwater from recharging the aquifers. This was further

exacerbated by the loss of green cover (which would have otherwise helped water retention) to make way for

infrastructure projects. Such a situation, on the one hand, leads to flooding during normal rainfall due to stagnation,

and on the other hand leads to drought-like conditions due to the prevention of underground water storage.

If the Government is serious about addressing the water crisis in urban areas, the Ministry of Water Resources must

reconfigure its relationship with other Ministries and Departments (Urban Development, Local Self-Government

and Environment). This would be for enhanced integration and coordination through effective land and water

zoning regulations that protect urban water bodies, groundwater sources, wetlands and green cover while

simultaneously working to enhance waste water recycling and water recharge activities targeting aquifers and

wells through rainwater harvesting.

In rural areas, the situation is no different, as the acute water crisis in Punjab shows. The draft report of the Central

Ground Water Board concluded that Punjab would be reduced to a desert in 25 years if the extraction of its

groundwater resources continues unabated; 82% of Punjab’s land area has seen a huge decline in groundwater

levels, wherein 109 out of 138 administrative blocks have been placed in the ‘over exploited’ category.

Concomitantly, cultivation of water intensive crops such as paddy have further aggravated water depletion, even

turning water saline. Immediate measures need to be taken to manage and replenish groundwater, especially
IBPS RRB Office Assistant 2021 Mains Previous Year Paper

through participatory groundwater management approaches with its combination of water budgeting, aquifer

recharging and community involvement.

The Ministry of Jal Shakti, last year, had announced an ambitious plan to provide water connections to every

household in India by 2024. In view of the ongoing erosion of water resources and an ever-increasing demand for

water, the thrust should not be on promising water supply. Instead the aim should be towards protecting and

conserving water resources on the one hand and minimising and enhancing efficiency of water usage on the other.
