| |  | Dear Friend,
We have just released this highly analytical and topical report that would put a smile on millions of faces – both professionals and students as well as the common man. This gives us a strong belief that such improbable turnarounds can be achieved in many more areas around the country, if there is a sufficiently motivated and driven decision maker at the top, with a strong will and commitment to make a change, and see it through. | | | | | | | |  | | | | | | | | A Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) team visited over 250 lakes and ponds under 26 Government schemes in four ecological regions — the Desert, Indo-Gangetic Plains, Deccan Trap and Coastal Plains — across the country — to survey impactful programmes and schemes for rejuvenation or restoration of water bodies.
This compendium analyses success stories that celebrate government programmes, both Central and those specific to States. The programmes helped revive lakes, ponds and/or tanks used by communities within cities or villages as well as brought a rise in water levels in wells and bore wells around lakes, increase in land under irrigation and return of flora and fauna. In many cases, fish farming started or resumed post-restoration activities. The work of communities and private players in rejuvenating water bodies is also highlighted.
A study of these success stories can help in streamlining policies and practices of different programmes that have been unsuccessful in the country, and can serve as guidelines for future schemes.
