In order overcome temporal variations in water availability, we have to resort to various mans of conservation of water resources through storage in reservoirs, ground water aquifers and traditional water bodies. The high spatial variation can be addressed through various measures for diverting water from surplus water basins to deficient basins or regions.
Government of India has already taken up the works related to preparation of feasibility reports or detailed project reports in respect of projects identified under National Perspective Plan for interlinking of rivers which aims at utilizing the surplus flood water by diverting the same to deficient regions. The Ministry also promotes rainwater harvesting and various means of ground water recharge and demonstrative schemes have been taken up by the Central Ground Water Board.
