v Water v
On its eastern boundary, Rajasthan has a perennial river Chambal.
Otherwise, the availability of water in Rajasthan is mainly through wells. The
availability of water from ground water sources in most parts of the State is reported to
be good, although the water table is around 30 to 50 metres, which requires deep
bore-wells to pump out the water.
Water is now available in
Sri Ganganagar, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur districts from the Indira Gandhi Canal.
Water availability in Banswara district has improved due to commissioning of Mahi project
and Narmada water would cover areas of Jalore and Barmer. The historic agreement finalised
recently among the basin states of the Yamuna waters would augment the water availability
in the eastern part of state by 1119 million Cum.
On the whole, the water availability in the State, though
limited, should not be a constraining factor for setting up industry. However, industrial
units requiring large quantities of water (such as paper mills) would not be suited for
Rajasthan.
