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

Maharashtra has to curtail it's drought by saving trees from being cut. Vast areas of Marathawada are barren as the area has been deforested. Such an area does not attract the rain clouds. Marathawada is suffering for its own sins. This situation can be rectified and resolved. If a desert like Dubai can be greened then so can Marathawada. It needs a commitment to the cause. Please contact me if you want a long-term sustainable solution.

Respected ChiefMinister, Since the past 4-5 months the building opposite our residential building has been wasting water every day for a bear minimum 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening.I contacted the people residing in the building and also the BJP Office which is operating in the building but I was shunned away with their arrogance.I even contacted the BMC Officer who said that there is a BJP Office there and we cannot do anything to them.A video has been mailed to you for perusal

Respected chief minister,
For any Govenment to actually succeed or make difference on ground depending on how government officers and workers work efficiently. Policy and road map by chief minister is good but get it done by officers and all other staff. Please get control of it...because end person actually interact with them which leads to corruption, long ques etc. So If you resolve this ....80% of people will benefit.

For minimising the loss of of water due to evaporation spray a sulfunated derivate of cetostearly alcohol which the govt. can procure from Godrej Soaps and Chemicals or VVF Ltd. this particular exercise was done by Aegis Chemicals Ltd in eighties on Husain Sagar Lake Hyderabad , such a product is fairly eco friendly

Considering above we have to Enforce new building and construction for monsoon harvesting facility in their new development which will definitely reduce normal water make-up by compensating with rain water for which dedicated storage can be used for using towards purpose other than drinking purpose. Also we can give Tax benifits against expenditure on water harvesting facility for Old construction facilities. Monsoon Water loss should be be considered as Prime source towards Water crisis.
