New Delhi: The Union cabinet on Wednesday gave the green signal to the National Hydrology Project (NHP) and establishment of a National Water Informatics Centre (NWIC) with a total outlay of Rs.3,679.76 crore for better flood and drought forecast.
The NHP is intended for setting up a system for timely and reliable water resources data acquisition, storage, collation and management. The system would improve the flood forecast time to at least three days in advance from one day at present. It will also provide systems for informed decision making through Decision Support Systems (DSS) for water resources assessment, flood management, reservoir operations, drought management, etc.
