NHP Journey HP-II (2006-2014) NHP HP-I (1995-2003) • 9 States; 6 Central Agencies • Manual Data Collection • Desktop data management • Data collection & management • 13 States; 8 Central Ias • Real Time Data Acquisition • Web-based data management • Data Collection, management & analysis • Pan-India; 10 Central IAs • Standardization of RTDAS as national level • Web-based National Database – IndiaWRIS • Institutionalization of data collection, management and analysis

To establish and integrate a country-wide hydromet monitoring network system. To provide upto date and reliable hydromet data to stakeholders To develop systems for improved flood forecasting. To develop tools for improved river basin assessment and planning. Capacity building of the Implementing Agencies Objectives Duration: 8 years (2016-24) Budget : ~ 600 Million USD

What is new under NHP? Pan India coverage • Extension of HP-I & HP-II • Standardization of equipment • Framework Agreement & standardization of specifications • States to design their network in consultation with CWC and CGWB • Procurement to be done by Implementing Agencies (IAs) • CWPRS to provided technical support to all IAs • Basin approach – collaborative modeling • Flood forecasting & Inundation Systems • River basin assessment and planning (SW & GW) Systems • Institutional Strengthening • Promoting Centres of Excellence • Capacity building of Officers of IAs • Learn from failures and build on success of self and others through collaboration

Water Resources Data Acquisition System (…so far) Hydro-met equipment & network • Experience of HP-I & HP-II • What was done? • Standardized : • Equipment specifications • Data collection, storage and dissemination • developed software – WISDOM, SWDES, GWDES, GEMS • Mixed experience • Some manufactures did not provide adequate support • The software developed were Hardware and software dependent • In HP-II, web based systems for data storage and dissemination e.g. e-SWIS and e-GEMS • Data validation was not adequately handled • Wide spectrum in States’ response to DSS

Water Resources Data Acquisition System

Water Resources Data Acquisition System What is the Mantra for NHP? 'Count what is countable, measure what is measurable. What is not measurable, make measurable..!’ • Galileo Way Forward: Framework Agreement • Standardisation of specifications • Empanelment of equipment • To be done atleast once in year • Procurement of hydromet equipment will include procurement of equipment, integrator services and data services with a long-term (10 years) commitment

Water Resources Information System • Water Resources Products in WRIS/SWRIS • Access to spatial information including more than 80 layers of IndiaWRIS • Real time hydromet and reservoir level data. • High Resolution elevation map for India ranging from (0.5 to 3m) • Weather forecast (1, 3,5, 7 days and seasonal) • Macro Water Resources assessment: Rainfall, ET, Runoff estimate • Remote sensing based estimates for India: Snowmelt, real time ET, land use, irrigation benchmarking, • Flood forecasting at major stations by CWC

Water Resources Information System Institutionalization: National Water Informatics Centre Legal background • Section 9A of Interstate River Water Disputes Act, 1956 (IRWD Act) under Article 262 of the Constitution of India • “Central Government shall maintain a data bank and information system at national level for each river basin. State governments shall provide all the data regarding water resources, land, agriculture and matters related thereto as requested by the central government”. • What is envisaged under NWIC? • Welfare is collective..! • State and Central organisations to join hands • System to work on mutual trust and respect

National Water Informatics Centre • Objectives of NWIC • To create GIS platform with the participation of all the Implementing Agencies. • India-WRIS is envisaged to play the pivotal role. • Institutional linkages for sharing of data through web map services/web feature services. • Maintenance, updation, and management of national level water resources database and generate new datasets. • Dissemination of customized Information and application products for various applications (DSS etc.). • Develop platform for web based data processing and services • Capacity building activities • Collaboration with National and International Institutes

National Water Informatics Centre Vision of NWIC and SWIC Implementing Agencies generate the hydro-meteorological and spatial data, which will be seamlessly integrated in NWIC Information products such as flood forecasts, inundation maps, water resources assessment, IWRM Plan, Evapo-transpiration atlas, ground water management plans, aquifer maps, etc. Data dissemination policy is being made more liberal (…however, need to respect Map Policy of India) Data available basin-wise as well as State-wise Data to be easily and freely shared/access Adequate security protocols and automation

Utilization of Data Generated Database Decision making tools: Basin Planning and Flood Forecasting • Decision Making: Better Planning and Operational Decisions in Water Management • Improved Economic, Social and Environmental Benefits Communication Framework Modelling & Analysis Scenario Generation Beyond Project Within Project

River Basin Assessment & Planning • River Basin Assessment and Planning will be carried out for all 20 River Basin of India • MoWR in coordination with CWC, CGWB and Riparian states will develop the Basin Model, while the states will downscale it to their desire planning/ management scale. • Focus on standardizing the modelling approach • Integration of surface and ground water

Flood forecasting & Reservoir Operation Systems Flood forecasting and early warning system (coupled with weather forecast)- Jointly by CWC and Riparian States for all Major River Basin of India • CWC : will centrally coordinate with all IAs for the development of Macro model; States will simultaneously develop for their respective tributaries. • Focus on developing national Flood Control Centre 26
