Slide5

Climate Impacts on Water in IndiaBy 2020, India will be formally categorized as "water stressed"Water scarcity will also account for 6% loss in India's GDP lossClimate variability is the major cause of observed extremes in hydrological systems: Floods (quick on set) and Droughts

(slow on set).

The shrinking

of

the cryosphere (Earth’s frozen lands), and sea level rise will impact 377.1 million urban people directly (IPCC 2019). 40% of Indian population lives in the coast, and is likely to be impacted.

Approximately 68 per cent of the cultivable area is vulnerable to droughts

Over

40 million hectares (12 per cent of land) are prone to floods and river erosion;

Out of the 7,516

km long coastline, close to 5,700 km is prone to cyclones and

tsunamis

Slide8

Cities bring water from distance sources (average 100km – 200 km) resulting in high NRW.Only 70 per cent of the urban households have access to piped water supplyThough the per capita availability as reported ranges from 90 to 120 liters per day, but no city yet offers continuous water supplyMore than 40 percent of water produced in many Indian cities does not earn any revenueWater and its allied sectors like waste water and storm water drainage sectors work in silos. Insufficient infrastructure and lack of institutional reform I, impacting the efficiency of urban water sector

ICLEI’s Approach

Slide10

ICLEI Global Water AgendaInitiatives to mainstream resilience in water managementIntegrating Resilience in Water Management

Slide11

Technical SolutionsDeveloping toolkits to support integrated water management – AdoptIUWM ToolkitDevelopment toolkits for climate adaptive water management – IAdapt FrameworkSupport cities to develop IUWM action plans and implement pilots to showcase IUWM practicesSupport development of catchment level water management plans Collaborate with partners such as IIT for local climate projections

Slide12

Toolkits – AdoptIUWM toolkitStep by step guide to develop local IUWM Action Plans Promotes integrated and participatory planning and management across water and allied sectorsTested in 4 cities in India

Slide13

Toolkits – IAdapt FrameworkStep by step guidance framework to develop climate adaptive catchment management plan for water resourcesPartcipatory and collaborative processPromotes integrated and climate adaptive resilience in water management

Slide14

Pilot implementationRain water harvesting for borewell recharge - SolapurRevival of water bodies - Jaisalmer

Slide15

Capacity EnhancementProvide technical capacity building through trainings, workshops, handholding support Training modules developed for climate adaptive water management plansProvide solution specific trainings on demand from cities – such as on rain water harvesting techniques, water leak detection systems

Slide16

Capacity Building - Workshops

Slide17

Capacity Building - TrainingsLeak Detection TrainingHome Composting Training

Slide18

Peer Learing ExchangesExposure Visit for PanchayatsExposure Visit for municipal officials

Slide19

Governance MechanismsApproach water management in an integrated manner by engaging with all users – both rural and urban to look at catchment level management of resourcesCreation of RURBAN Platform – as a formal method of engaging with rural and urban stakeholders for collaborative planningPromoting cross sectoral approaches to water management – bringing together water, waste water, storm water and solid waste sectors

Slide20

RURBAN PlatformBrings rural and urban authorities and stakeholders together to make climate informed decisions on water resource management

Slide21

Project received second prize at Korea Water Week, 2017 for best solution intervention.Recognition from Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan for the project on closing the water cycle loop in school

complex.

Build the capacity of local authorities and stakeholders on integrated urban water management and

influced

the decision making at local level

Achievements

Slide22

At Catchment level Developing integrated catchment management planSupporting water managersSetting up collaborations and partnerships

At City Level

Interlink

pilot interventions to ongoing

cities projects

Develop toolkits for local governments

Setting

up

institutional mechanisms such as RURBAN platforms for collaborative planning

Capacity building of local government officials

At Community Level

Developing the understanding on IUWM an IWRM concepts and principles

Capacity Building to reduce and

recharge water
