4. National Water Policy
Adopted by National Water Resources Council chaired by PM in December, It takes cognizance of the existing situation, proposes plan of action with a unified national perspective, emphasizing inter-alia water demand management and adaptation strategies to address issues of climate change etc.

5. Major river basins in the country are shown in this figure
Major river basins in the country are shown in this figure. River systems are broadly classified into 20 basins. The major river systems are: Ganga, Brhamaputra and Indus which originate from Himalayas. Other important river basins in the country are Godavari, Krishna, Mahanadi and Cauvery which outfall in Bay of Bengal. Narmada and Tapi are two important west flowing rivers.

6. Spatial variation of rainfall
The average annual rainfall varies considerably from above 10,000 mm at Cherrapunji in Meghalaya in the north eastern region to about 100 mm in western Rajasthan.
Next

7. Temporal variation of rainfall
More than 75% of the rainfall occurs in monsoon period and that too through a few spells of intense rainfall.

8. Per Capita Water Availability
At present, the per capita water availability works to be about 1650 cubic meter, which is slightly lower than the water stress level of 1700 cubic meter. With growing population, the per capita water availability is reducing year after year. With the projected population for 2050, the per capita water availability is likely to be about 1140 cubic meter against the water scarcity level of 1000 cubic meter.
Sir, this is the overall position for the country as a whole. As we are aware, there is very high spatial and temporal variation.
