To improve the extent, quality, and accessibility of water resources information, decision support system for floods and basin level resource assessment/planning and to strengthen the capacity of targeted water resources professionals and management institutions in India, the Government of India has approved the implementation of National Hydrology Project (NHP) under the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR,RD&GR). The project started from FY 2016-17 for 8 years and extended up to March 2024. There are 48 implementing agencies (IAs): the implementing ministry (DoWR, RD & GR, MoJS); 8 central agencies; and 39 state/UT agencies. CWPRS is one of the central agencies for implementation of NHP.
CWPRS, one of the central implementing agency under National Hydrology Project has been identified as centre of excellence for providing technical expertise for Hydro-Met-WQ Instrumentation including Data Loggers, Telemetry systems etc so as to support water resources management program of State Implementing Agencies. CWPRS proposal under NHP includes the establishment of state of the art Hydro-Met-WQ Instruments testing, calibration and certifying facility, Training and support to IAs on Hydromet instrumentation, Bathymetry survey etc, Strengthening existing research facilities, Infrastructure development, Capacity building, Purpose driven studies involving special technical support within the overall framework of National Hydrology Project etc.
Studies Completed:
- Study of Surface and Subsurface Water Interaction using Remote Sensing, Geohydrological and Geophysical Techniques and its Modeling
- River Rejuvenation of Mutha River Reach Flowing through Pune City and Suburbs, Maharashtra
Ongoing Studies:
- Field survey, mathematical model and remote sensing studies for coastal processes associated with coastal erosion, shoreline changes assessment at few locations in Maharashtra Coast
Studies/ Knowledge Product
Three studies/knowledge products assigned to CWPRS under NHP are as below:
- Bathymetry Survey of Three Dam in North East Dam Viz. Singda Reservoir, Khuga Reservoir, Khoupum Reservoir
- Bathymetry Survey of Jharkhand Dam Viz. Suryodi, Tenughat, Getalusand
- Bathymetry Survey of Jharkhand Dam Viz. Suryodi, Tenughat, Getalusand using Satellite Remote Sensing
Various laboratories are established at CWPRS under NHP. These laboratories accommodate Testing, Calibration and Certification Facility (TCCF) for: Ground Water Level measurement, Automatic Weather Station and Rain gauges, Water Quality Instrumentation, Surface Water Level measurement, Data logger, Telemetry and Calibration of Current meter, performance testing of ADCP, ADV etc.
