RESERVOIR STORAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

1. RESERVOIR STORAGE MONITORING SYSTEM GEO-SPATIAL WEB BASED INFORMATION SYSTEM USING MOBILE TECHNOLOGY Command Area Development Authority, Irrigation and CAD Department & Centre for Good Governance , Hyderabad

2. Introduction Challenges for an eGovernance Project • Cost • Complexity • Adaptation Reservoir Storage Monitoring System • Web based software application • SMS based input of data • Monitors Reservoir levels and water releases to canal,Power and drinking water • Geospatial output,SMS to mobiles and Fax reports • Mobile technology & Infrastructure is integrated with Web application for information compilation and dissemination • Faster communication of information from field and dissemination to decision makers or any other.

3. Objective • Development of a • Dynamic & Real time data capture, • updating and • generation of reports. • Dissemination of information for efficient water Regulation • to predefined authorities and • farmers • Achieve Optimum Utilization of water for • regulating inflows & outflows at Reservoir and • releases to canal • Assess impending flood danger for • Flood forecasting and • communication at right time to minimize damages

4. IMPACT OF THE PROJECT Flood Management : Hundreds of lives saved Crores worth properties protected Timely decisions based on information from RSMS. Water Regulation Farmer organisations are informed the releases of water Field engineers are aware of upper reach and lower reach releases Head office and Administrative authorities have the information of Reservoirs and Canal releases on their mobiles helping in time decision making.

5. OUTREACH AREA COVERAGE Irrigation: Reservoir storage monitoring system Covering 17 Major Irrigation projects under 3 states Andhra Pradesh, Maharashta, Karnataka:65.5 lakh acres Canal network flow monitoring system Covering 14 major irrigation projects under 3 river basins Godavari, Krishna and Pennar :67 lakh acres Power generation: Hydel Power : 2674 MW Thermal power : 3860 MW Drinking water : Municipalities: 32(1.5 crore people)

6. Flood Management • Communication gap resulted in • Flood banks breach in Kosi floods affecting millions & thousands death • Dam breach in China killing 1.5 lakh population • RSMS activated for hourly information disseminated to connected authorities and 18 Distributory Committees covering 5 lakh acres & petrolling 200 km Flood banks • Simulated the possible inundation with the help of APSRAC on the hourly information • Vacating the villages in advance and saving the property and human life (Kurnool, Vijayawada and hundreds of villages along Krishna river) • Day and night shift patrolling by Farmers organization by alerting through SMS better flood management

7. GIS Map in the Website Persons Sending the SMS: 15 Persons receiving the SMS: 75 Area :65.5 lakh acres Power :2674 MW (Hydel) : 3860 MW (Thermal) Drinking :32 Municipalities

8. Canal Network Flow Monitoring system Persons sending the SMS : 13 Persons receiving the SMS: 66 Area :67 lakh acres

9. Alternative technology • Sensor based Technology : -Initial cost about Rs 5lakh for each location. - The Annual cost for the real time data transmission through satellite needs about Rs 25 lakh. - Total cost Rs 13.42 crores • Mobile based technology costs less than 10,000 . • The cost of analysis and data dissemination same for both the technologies.

10. Procedure • Design and development of Web based system • Data capture through SMS from designated field engineers in pre designed formats • Data collation, updating and compilation in central database server • Automated generation of reports, charts and spatial maps • Automated data dissemination through SMS and Fax • Website access to public

11. Pictorial Representation Picture contains • The data capture • Storing • Compilation • Updating • Report generation • Dissemination

12. Services Reports • Automated Web based report: (http://cadarsms.cgg.gov.in, http://apcnfms.cgg.gov.in) • Geospatial Reservoir map, Canal network flow map • Daily consolidated and project specific reports • Temporal & Spatial reports open to anyone • Comparison graphical reports • Fax: • Automated Fax • On demand Fax: Procedure :Fax all “Your local fax number” to 9963550620 • SMS: • Automated SMS to Administrators ,Engineers , Farmers • On demand SMS Procedure :Send Project short form to “9963550620” Ex: Type NSP and send to 9963550620

13. Information dissemination Persons Receiving SMS • CM Office : Secretary to CM • Secretariat : Chief secretary Principal Secretary ,Irrigation Secretaries ,Irrigation Special Secretary ,Irrigation Advisors to Government • Command area Development Authority : Commissioner & Principal secretary to Govt Special Commissioner (I & CAD) • Disaster Management Unit : Commissioner Additional commissioner • Irrigation & CAD Department : Engineer-in Chiefs Chief Engineers Deputy Executive Engineers • Farmers Organizations: Farmers Organization of Nagarjuna sagar Project

14. Farmers Organizations • Activated for 292 Farmers Organizations covering about 67 lakh acres under 13 major irrigation projects for receiving the information through SMS about daily water release. • Presently 48 Farmer Organizations covering 22 lakh acres of Nagarjuna Sagar Project are receiving SMS on Water releases to canal at 29 discharge points along 400 km canal length by the Canal Network Flow Monitoring System.
