The National Hydrology Project aims to enhance water management in India through data analysis, flood forecasting, and resource assessment. This project involves multiple states and central agencies to improve hydromet data sharing and establish River Basin Models. The establishment of the National Water Informatics Centre facilitates real-time information access for better decision-making.

Collaborative Project MoWR, RD&GR shall implement this project through central and state implementing agencies Government Order is being issued. Centre is floating a major consultancy “Technical Assistance & Management Consultancy” Finalisation of specifications and Terms of reference of consultancies, Preparation and evaluation of bids etc. Technical support on project implementation MIS for project monitoring (financial and physical) Training program through NIH/NWA/RGI MoUs with National and International organisations Project implementation strategy 6
National Water Informatics Centre with Accessibility to real time and integrated River Basin information (neatly 100 layers) including high resolution DEM, ET, Weather forecast, historical database. Software and support for development of State-WRIS Sharing of data through CWC’s Earth Receiving Station ‘One Stop’ shop for all hydromet data & applications with cloud storage hence no financial burden to States Provision of linkage with States’ Data Centres Regional River Basin modelling Tools: Flood forecasting and early warning systems coupled with weather forecast Water Resources Assessment at River basin scale. To be upscaled by the States at sub-basin levels Project implementation strategy 7
States need to work in close coordination with MoWR and central agencies to derive maximum benefits by taking the following steps: Set up an SPMU (40 out 49 IAs have already setup) Timely submission of their final PIPs, annual procurement plans, annual work plans Design hydromet network in consultation with MoWR Share all hydromet data with NWIC through India-WRIS/eSWIS/EGEMS/eWQIS) Develop detailed River Basin Models for resource assessment, flood forecasting, flash floods and inundation in the affected areas at sub-basin level.
