Union Minister of Rural Development and Panchayati, Shri Giriraj Singh will launch the App tomorrow
Ministry of Rural Development developed the “JALDOOT App” to be used across the country, to capture the water level of selected wells in a village
Ministry of Rural Development has developed the “JALDOOT App” that will be used across the country to capture the water level of selected wells in a village. Union Minister of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Shri Giriraj Singh will launch the “JALDOOT App” at a function in New Delhi tomorrow.
The Jaldoot app will enable Gram Rojgar Sahayak (GRS) to measure the water level of selected wells twice a year (pre-monsoon and post-monsoon). In every village, an adequate number of measurement locations (2-3) shall need to be selected. These will be representative of the groundwater level in that village.
The app will facilitate panchayats with robust data, which can be further used for better planning of works. The groundwater data could be utilized as a part of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) and Mahatma Gandhi NREGA planning exercises. Further, the data can also be used for different kinds of research and other purposes.
The country has taken many steps to the improvement of water management both in the rural and urban areas, through watershed development, afforestation, water body development and renovation, rainwater harvesting, and so on.
However, the withdrawal of groundwater, as also the utilization of surface water sources has reached critical levels in many parts of the country, resulting in significant depletion of water levels and causing distress to the community, including farmers. Therefore measurement and observation of the levels of water tables across the country have become necessary.
The other attendees at the Jaldoot app launch function tomorrow will include Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Steel, Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste; Union Minister of State for Rural Development, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti and Union Minister of State for Panchayati Raj, Shri Kapil Moreshwar Patil, Secretary Department of Rural Development, Shri Nagendra Nath Sinha; Secretary, Department of Land Resources, Shri Ajay Tirkey; Secretary, Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Shri Sunil Kumar and senior officers from the Ministry. Representatives from all States/UTs will join the program through Video-Conferencing.
