The Field observed data on coastal processes is one of the essential requirements for evolving long term plans and coastal protection measures. For the collection of such data, a scheme of Coastal Management Information System (CMIS) was approved by the Government of India under the on-going Scheme Development of Water Resource Information System (DWRIS) of Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD & GR).
Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS) was awarded the work as Project Executor for implementation of CMIS at two sites in the States of Maharashtra (northern region) and Gujarat (southern region). CWC is Project Implementer and the State Government of Maharashtra and Gujarat are functioning as Project Facilitator. The total cost of the project is Rs. 6.95 Crores. The total duration of the work is about three years wherein various coastal data such as wave, tide, tidal currents, shoreline and cross-shore profile, suspended and bed sediments, river /creek discharges, winds, rainfall etc. is being collected during different period of all the seasons and processed so as to be used at front-end and linked to Centralised Data Centre (CDC). The whole work is monitored by a Project Monitoring Committee (PMC) constituted with the experts and experienced professionals of the field.
Two sites were identified for CMIS viz. Satpati in North Maharashtra, Nani Danti- Moti Danti in South Gujarat by CWPRS. Sixteen beach surveys for a reach of about 1.5 km have been carried at both the sites between December 2019 and April 2024. Beach sediment samples for both the sites have been duly collected and analyzed for evaluation of seasonal variations. Bathymetric Survey and River discharges for Pre Monsoon and Post Monsoon data is being carried out at both the sites and Meteorological data is being collected continuously since January 2021.
Data survey equipments worth more than Rs. 3.00 Crores has been purchased which include instruments for
- Bathymetric survey systems
- Directional Wave rider Buoy
- Tide gauge
- Marine Current Profiler
- River ADCP
- LISST
- Automatic weather station
- Sieve shakers
- CTD Meters
- Beach survey instruments etc.
Three Training Programs have been organized under the project for capacity building.
- Installation and Operation of Coastal Equipments, in August 2020
- Role, Method and Importance of Coastal Data Collection for CMIS Activities in North Maharashtra and South Gujarat , online in February 2021
- Coastal Engineering Aspects and CMIS Activities” held at CWPRS during 4th - 8th September 2023.
