Irregular monsoons over an extended period have resulted in frequent water scarcity for the agricultural sector. While prompt relief in times of scarcity must be provided, long-term measures to ensure prevention of such situations must be taken.
Government has decided to implement multiple programs for water conservation in an integrated manner with convergence across all the concerned departments. ”Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan” has been launched to make Maharashtra drought free by 2019. We aim to make five thousand villages drought free in the 1st year of the Abhiyan.

We look forward to getting your suggestions on how the program can be further enhanced and implemented successfully

महाराष्ट्र राज्य खूप तीव्र दुष्काळ झेलत आहे . या साठी भविष्यासाठी उपाय करण्यापेक्षा वर्तमानासाठी उपाय करावे . प्रत्येक व्यक्तीला अंघोळीसाठी १५-२० लिटर पाणी लागते आणि आठवड्यातून एक दिवस अघोळी ला गोळी मारून प्रत्येक जन १०-१५ लिटर पाणी वाचवू शकतो . महाराष्ट्राची जनसंख्या ११ कोटी आहे ,जर आपण फक्त ५ कोटी जनतेने आठवड्यातून एक दिवस आंघोळी ला गोळी मारली तर ५ कोटी X १० लिटर =५० कोटी लिटर पाण्याची बचत होऊ शकते . गरज आहे ती फक्त ह्या संदेशाला जनते पर्यंत पोहचवण्याची.

Maharashtra is facing tremendous drought. But one very important and long lasting benefit we can take of the situation. Most of the dams are becoming dry. Taking advantage of this, maximum sediment settled at bottom of dams can be removed and can be distributed to nearby farmers. This will regain capacity of dams, farmers will also get good soil for cultivation.

Dear Sir,
As Maharashtra is facing severe drought this year, I think we should plan for long term Water resource management plan. Various steps can be taken to avoid this situation in future and also for securing better environment for future generations. To name few I would like to suggest Water harvesting in all cities, linking of rivers, setting up plant to convert sea water to drinkable water, banning water consuming crops. If government takes initiative and every citizen will join that.

प्रिय मुख्यमंत्री साहेब
आपण जार बघत असाल तर पाण्याची तंचाई गावात जास्त करून जाणवत आहे। तर गावत जलयुक्त शिवार सोबतच आशय भरपूर जाग असतात जिथे आपण पानी जिरवुन पाण्याची पातली वाढवू शकतो। जशे की माझ्या गावात पाज़र तलाव आहे ज्यच्यामुले पाण्याची पातलिचा चांगला समतोल राखला जात आहे।

The Maharashtra CM should start with Mann Ki Baat like the PM does, so that there will be an opportunity of people of Maharashtra to understand the views of the government on various issues.

Steps should be taken in the month of May for ground water harvesting and small village level rain water conservation . This will help some income for drought hit farmers in May and June and the infrastructure built through such mechanism will help store water once rain start in the monsoon, preventing further drought situations.

Subject: - Regarding Including My Village in “JALYUKTA SHIVAR YOJNA”
Respected Sir,
I belong to village Chincholi Taluka- Rahuri, District Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. Pin code-413710.Like many villages in Maharashtra, my village is too suffering consequences of drought. There is already a lake near Nalge Vasti but there are no stop dams all the rain water washes away in Pravara River.
Broadening and deepening of lake and construction of cement stop dams before monsoon can solve the problem.

Dear Sir/Ma'm,
Can we please build desalination plant for all coastal cities like Mumbai so that waster is not sourced from dams/rivers but sourced directly from the sea. This will also ensure that water from rivers are used for interior villages/cities that don't have a coastal line. Countries like Israel have done a lot of work on desalination plants and have made their countries water positive from a water deficit state. Please adopt the same for all our coastal cities.
Regards.
