World’s Water Resources
Total Water on Earth 1.36x108 M ha m
Ocean salt water 97.2%
Fresh Water 2.8%
Surface water 2.2%
Glaciers & Ice ___ 2.15%
Lakes & Streams.. 0.01%
Other forms .. 0.04%
Ground water 0.6%
Renewable G.W.. 0.25%
Total Available Freshwater 0.3%
Basic facts about surface water
Total water available in planet earth is constant
The fresh water available on earth is less than 1% away from poles
The major source of water supply to surface water remains to be rain fall
Rain fall is not evenly distributed in quantity, space and time
Basic facts about ground water
Ground water occurs below the surface of earth
Ground water is not evenly distributed in quantity, space and time
Power operated water lifting devices are required to bring ground water to surface
It is impossible to provide power to irrigate entire cultivable area with ground water
Indian Water BudgetInitial estimates• Average rainfall(119.4 cm) on 328 M h ≈ 400 M h m
– Lost to atmosphere .. 70 M ha m– Surface run off .. 115 M ha m– Infiltration ..215 M ha m
• Surface runoff total ≈180 M ha m +– Including 20 M ha m from outside
45 M ha m from regenerated G.W
• Soil moisture ≈ 165 M ha m
• Groundwater ≈ 50 M ha m– Groundwater contribution from flood ..5 M ha m– Groundwater contribution from irrigation ..12 M ha m◊Total Ground water 67 M ha m
Available water resource
Total river flow 186.9 M ha m
– Utilizable surface water by conventional method.. 69 M ha m
– Utilizable ground water.. 45 M ha m
Total potential utilizable water.. 114 M ha m
Irrigation efficiency
Canals ≈ 38%
Wells ≈ 60%
Total irrigation potential estimated = 114 M ha
(assuming 1 meter water depth requirement)
Tamil Nadu scenarioGeographical area of - 130 L.ha.
Net area sown in Tamil Nadu - 55 L.ha.
Irrigated area - 30 L.ha.
Major and Medium reservoirs - 65
canals - 12,611 km
Tanks - 39,202,
Wells - 18,39,754
Ultimate surface water potential - 2.70 Mham.
Potential created - 2.40 Mham, (89 %).
Ultimate ground water potential - 3.35 Mham
Potential developed - 2 Mham.
Need for conjunctive use
Surface water stored and transported to needy places is affected by rain fall pattern
Ground water is fairly evenly distributed to supplement surface water
Providing irrigation at critical periods of crop growth sustains the yield significantly
It is also not feasible to bring entire irrigated area under conservation irrigation
