The Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation was the apex body for formulation and administration of rules and regulations relating to the development and regulation of the water resources in India. The Ministry was formed in January 1985 following the bifurcation of the then Ministry of Irrigation and Power, when the Department of Irrigation was re-constituted as the Ministry of Water Resources. In July 2014, the Ministry was renamed to “Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation”, making it the National Ganga River Basin Authority for conservation, development, management, and abatement of pollution in the river Ganges and its tributaries.{{cite web |last1=Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation |title=Organizational history of the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation |url=http://mowr.gov.in/about-us/history |website=Website of MoWRRDGR |publisher=Government of India |access-date=18 July 2018}} In May 2019, this ministry was merged with the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation to form the Ministry of Jal Shakti.
