THIRUVANANTHAPURA: The Water Policy-2008 announced by the LDF Government on Monday envisages provisions like 'polluter pays' for preventing water pollution. Those who pollute water will be made to pay a fine according under the policy. Another thrust area of the policy tabled by Water Resources Minister N.K. Premachandran in the Assembly on Monday, is the announcement of recycle and reuse policy for drainage water. Later, addressing media N.K. Premachandran said the government planned a number of legislations in tune with the Water Policy. "Formation of river basin authorities and major amendments in Ground Water Regulation Act are the immediate priorities of the government. To prevent misuse of groundwater, there should be strict control over non-domestic wells," the Minister said. According to the Water Policy, the government won't encourage largescale irrigation projects in future. "Small projects like lift irrigation projects will be the focus of the government," he said. The participatory irrigation project practiced in Neyyar and Malambuzha will be extended to more places, the Minister said.
