e-governance in

Watershed Management

Amit Kumar

Director

Department of Land Resources18.01.2018

• Period 1995- 2009:

MoRD was implementing three programmes:

Desert Development Programme (DDP)

Drought Prone Areas Programme (DPAP)

Integrated Wastelands Development Programme (IWDP)

• Period 2009-2015:

Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP)

(w.e.f. 26.02.2009)

• Period 2015- till date:

From 01.07.2015 the IWMP has been incorporated as the

Watershed Development Component of the Prime Minister

Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (WDC-PMKSY)

Introduction of DoLR

PMKSY

• PMKSY was initiated (in 2015-16) to achieve convergence of

investments in agriculture;

–AIBP and har khet ko paani (MoWR, RD & GR)

–More crop per drop (DAC)

–Watershed Development Component (DoLR)

• Focus on decentralized landscape planning at the district level as the

key to creating the irrigation infrastructure

• Bottom up planning and establishing required institutional mechanism

• Convergence of Schemes

• Focus on use of modern technology for monitoring (remote sensing,

mobile tech, IT)

WDC - PMKSY

• The Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP)

amalgamated as the Watershed Development Component (WDC) of the

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) in 2015-16.

• 8214 watershed development projects sanctioned during 2009-10 to

2014-15 in 28 States (except Goa) involving an area of about 39.07

million ha with Rs.33,642.24 crore as Central share (Total cost: Rs.

50,739.58 crore).

• Central share of Rs.13,991.76 crore released since 2009 -10 upto 2016 -

17.

• BE 2017-18 is Rs.1,700.00 crore.

• Projects sanctioned in 6 batches (2009-10 to 2014-15)

• 1140 projects from Batch 1 and 2 (out of 3189 sanctioned) have been

reported as completed.

4

Geospatial tech in WDC-PMKSY

• Technology inputs facilitated by the Common Guidelines

for Watershed Development (use of satellite imagery,

remote sensing data, GIS, IT, national portal for

watershed data).

• IWMP was a pioneer in making extensive use of

technology since 2009 through creation of adequate

capability at the implementing agency level and

partnerships with NRSC, ICAR institutes, State RSAs,

etc.

• Used in identification of project locations, preparation of

action plans, change detection, net planning, preparation

of thematic maps, etc.

5

Wasteland Atlas

• Periodic assessment of wastelands conducted with the help of

NRSC

• Another assessment with datasets of 2015-2016 is under

process.

Srishti Bhuvan Project

• Project for Monitoring of IWMP watersheds using Geo-spatialtechnology initiated with NRSC initiated in 2015. Projectduration is 5 years at a cost of Rs. 35.03 Crore.

• Objective is to develop a near real time monitoring system ofwatershed development works under WDC-PMKSY foreffective watershed management.

• “Srishti” portal is based on Bhuvan platform. “Drishti” is themobile app for data capture (time stamped and geo coded)and upload from field onto Srishti. Monitoring of thewatersheds using high resolution satellite images.

• Satellite images of the project areas to be procured twice ayear. Other data available from Bhuvan platform can be used.

• Project initially started in10 States and later extended to allthe 28 States (except Goa) implementing WDC-PMKSY.

7

Srishti portal - Key Features

• Portal provides a number of layers for datavisualization and analysis

• User requirements at the level of variousstakeholders:

– PIA/ WC: Planning support, documentation, inventorization

– WCDC: Monitoring / supervision, landscape level planning

– SLNA: Monitoring

– DoLR: Reports, online monitoring systems

• Watershed boundaries, built upon earlier works bySLUSI

8

Srishti portal - Key Features

• Shapefiles of about 6200 projects hosted on Bhuvan (AllIndia)

• Shapefiles of about 1340 projects hosted on Bhuvan (splmon dists)

• Total Drishti uploads – 8.27 lakhs

• Drishti uploads – 1.56 Lakhs (spl mon dists)

• Satellite Data Ordered : 10400 Scenes (4 years)

• Satellite data Hosted : 9100 Scenes

• Drishti v2.3 released and App hosted on Bhuvan. Special appfor monitoring agencies released

• About 130 impact reports prepared

• Manual for the portal and mobile app prepared.

• More that 1000 person trained in the States through classroom and remote sessions, field demonstrations andmeetings.

• Training material, manuals, etc. prepared.

9

Srishti portal - Key Features

• Change detection and analysis

• Action plan preparation based on topography and

thematic information

• Data integrity of mobile uploads

• Documentation of life history of assets – promotes

transparency and best practice

• Accessible for community – an important tool for

community monitoring of works

• Periodic reporting at a higher intensity (complements

field evaluation studies)

Quality control mechanism and hosting on Bhuvan

2. Development of Dashboard – single window monitoring for all the activities

- to view the status and generate reports.

http://bhuvan-staging.nrsc.gov.in/events2/apshclws/iwmp/dashboard/

3. Release of Drishti – new version (with interactive map, provides for

download of existing points, and allows revisit – project-wise)

4. Drishti v2.3 Manual prepared and hosted on Bhuvan Srishti

5. Download option for Drishti points to all SLNA’s (Project-wise) under

Field Data

Observations and Learnings

• Powerful tool – can change the way in which monitoring isdone

• Acceptance of staff takes time

• Manage change by getting user requirementscorrect, communicating with thestakeholders, training, improve the process

• Reduce effort / drudgery in data collection, documentationand retrieval

• Widespread use for optimal effectiveness

• Integration with other monitoring systems – historicaldata, MIS, platform for convergence

• Useful and flexible dashboard, alerts

• Subsequently evolve into creation of an intelligent system foranalyzing big data & evolve to become a repository of naturalresources of the area
