eGEMS A Dedicated Web Based System for Ground Water Data Processing Analysis and Storage
GEMS - Background During the Hydrology Project, Phase I, CGWB developed a Dedicated Ground Water Estimation and Management System (GEMS) Software Data entry & data validation Processing and analysis GEMS was developed in a client server environment Integration of GIS, database & other software It handled a large amount of data, Originating from about 25,000 manually monitored wells, About 6000 wells equipped with automatic water level recorders Exploratory wellsetc.
GEMS - Issues Required Complex installation and configuration High Database and of IT Expertise by the users. Dependencies on specific hardware, system software and operating system. Difficulty in upgrading or changing modular components. Upgrading GIS software to current version of MapInfo. Complexity in import and integration of data from Different instances of GEMS Other data management systems. Limited installation not possible as per user levels Full range of GEMS functionality need to be installed Wide range of options for small office user
eGEMS - Concept During Hydrology Project Phase II- It was envisaged to replicate the existing GEMS capabilities into a internet based Platform independent Highly reliable Lesser user intervention For CGWB and 13 participating Hydrology Project Phase –II State Ground Water Agencies The Contract for the development of eGEMS application has been awarded to M/S TCS, Gurgoan
eGEMS - Outlines Internet based platform independent system Client access from web browsers No software requirement at user end – Web browser and internet access needed Single, centralized data store for databases. Scalable to user requirement
eGEMS | Application Overview eGEMS Logical Architecture Functional Area Coverage Managing Sites Water Quality Analysis Geo-Physical Exploration Ground Water Assessment GIS Analysis Statistical Analysis
eGEMS - Functionality/ Features • Facility for online Data Entry • Water Level • Water Quality • Exploration • Geophysics • Aquifer Parameter – storage • GIS data • Limited offline data entry • Analysis • Hydrogeological • Water Quality • Spatial & Statistics Analysis • Ground Water Resource Assessment • Reports and Queries • Agency specific Reports & Queries • Data Management and Validations • User Administration
eGEMS – Expected Benefits Centralised application deployment and maintenance. Availble on Multiple platforms through standard internet browsers. User specific modules High availability Reduced maintenance overheads Improved data sharing. User specific data access Flexible and scalable for future enhancement and integration with external Systems
Statistical Analysis • Mean, Median, Standard Deviation etc. • Regression Analysis • Missing Value Computation • Time Series Analysis
Future Road Map • Enhancing User Base across India • Integration of eGEMS service with Mobile GIS • Providing online /offline data entry provision • Location based services • Integration with telemetric and other online data systems • Providing Citizen interface
Thank You A step towards……. Sharing & Caring for Sustainable Ground Water Management
Implementation Issues • Procurement of Hardware • Delayed procurement • BSNL data center hiring proposal • Preparedness of States – Data migration/availability • Non-Availability of existing legacy data in desired formats • Non- Availability of GIS data in the new States e.g Punjab, Goa, Pudducherryetc • Non uniformity of data standards across states • Expected to spill over beyond Feb 2014. • Post project maintenance payments
