APGWD

 Shallow water table  Existence of springs and flowing wells  Less dependency on groundwater for irrigation  Recharge rate is more, Soil health is good

APGWD  More area under groundwater irrigation, high water requirement crops, flow irrigation practices etc., created stress on groundwater resources resulted in depletion of water table decrease in well yields, drying up wells consumption of more power for lifting same quantity of water deterioration of water quality etc.,  Reduction in Recharge rate due to concretization, change in land use practices etc.,  Deterioration of Soil health due to changed agriculture practices (high use of fertilizers and pesticides, multiple crops etc., )

APGWD NEERU-CHETTU MISSION:  Drought proof the State  Control the Wastage of water to the Sea  Water Conservation and Management  Soil moisture conservation  Watershed treatment  Rainwater Harvesting Structures construction  Catchment area treatment  Degraded lands treatment & Increase the area under green cover  Increase the production and productivity  More productivity per drop of water  Improve the groundwater recharge  Desilting of tanks and restoration of tank cascades and irrigation systems  Conjunctive use of Surface water & Groundwater  More area under MIP (Drip & Sprinkler)  Integrated Plans for sustainability of Irrigation sources  Improve the Water use Efficiency, Reduce the gap ayacut  Promote Solar and other non conventional energy sources  Encourage Participatory Irrigation Management
