Bhujal Manthan (contd.) An Exhibition was organized by CGWB A total of 64 technical papers received. 27 papers were presented in four technical sessions. Main Recommendations include: Studies to be taken up for better understanding of impact of pollution on human health. Pilot studies to be taken up more vigorously. Community participation through mass awareness & capacity building campaign Advanced Geophysical studies like electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) & Heli-borne surveys be undertaken Artificial recharge techniques should be employed to push the freshwater-seawater interface into sea & alternate source water to be planned. Large-scale ground water development is feasible in Eastern states
Bhujal Manthan (contd.) Workable water resource plan must be made mandatory
for clearance of any proposal for large-scale mining involving excavation below the water table. Efforts are to be made for conservation of springs in the
hilly areas. Climate adaptation strategies should include groundwater
management. Recommendations of Bhujal Manthan will be of great significance for advancement of Geosciences specially in the domain of ground water science in the country.

in innovative, cheaper and acceptable techniques for treatment of industrial waste waters and their reuse.
Third party audit of schemes should be made integral part
and
inspection report be documented Self regulation instead of govt. imposed regulation to be encouraged. Use of modern technological tools such as RS & GIS should
encouraged for better data integration & visualization
be
Workshop Recommendations (contd.) Promote studies to make spring sources sustainable. Involve rural population
and encourage traditional water conservation measures for spring development and management. Study to be carried out in all capital towns and districts HQ’s to analyse
impact of solid waste disposals on water sources and to firm up a policy on the disposal system. A scientific investigation to study snow cover behaviour in context of global
warming in Himalayan region. Regulation for watershed for rejuvenation of springs and streams Convergence of
policies of line departments for water security and best
practices Preventive measures for pollution caused by fertilisers by organic farming
practices, integrated pest management etc. by Farmers
Workshop Recommendations (contd.) Dissemination of water conservation techniques up to grass root level and
involvement of all line departments by district authorities to make people aware elaborately. Creation of awareness on climate change and its impact on the existing
ground water resources by highlighting all possible means of best practices. Measures to control deforestation in recharge areas as part of conservation
of water resources to control declining trend of rainfall in the hilly terrains. Easy Tips for water conservation, security & quality control measures in
vernacular medium to make people aware at grass root level. Capacity building in district and block level for preparation & effective
implementation of water security plans under Jal Gram Yojana.
Workshop Recommendations (Contd.) Suggested suitable measures for Arsenic & Iron free water and salinity problem in
coastal areas of the Country. Leakage in water distribution system should be significantly reduced. Suggested water efficiency in agricultural sector to ensure more crop per drop. Reuse and recycling of waste water should be adopted to ensure zero discharge. Export of virtual water is to be regulated. Efforts for water security should commence with coordination of activities of all
concerned agencies and sharing of relevant data and information Conjunctive use of surface water and ground water for irrigation may be adopted in
cyclic manner for sustainability in water logged areas.
