In Gujarat summer season is mostly hot

and dry. During the summer season the

coastal region is less hot. The temperature

is more in regions which are away from

coastal area. Rann of Kutch experiences

extreme heat. In the summer season North

Gujarat experience more heat. Generally in

summer temperature is between 27 C to 47

C in north Gujarat Area.

During HP I Hydrometeorological sites are updated as per the guideline of IMD, CWCand WHO and the following equipments are used for Hydrometeological data collection.

Used for measuringthe amount of DailyRainfall at a place

Gives continuousrecord of amount ofHourly Rainfall onthe chart. It alsomeasure the rate of

rainfall intensity.

Following may be stated as the Gains under the Hydrology Project Phase-I

Large quantity of unprocessed historical data in the form of Year Books and Registers, unmanageable for

collection and analysis, had been converted in to computer compatible formats making easy availability at the

State Water Data Centre, Gandhinagar.

Using SWDES (Surface Water Data Entry System) software for data entry and analysis. The Hydrological Modeling

System Software (HYMOS) is fully operational for data validation.

Large no. Of observations sites existed prior to HP, were inoperative due to unavailability of skilled staff. The problem is

eradicated through redeployment.

State Water Data Centre has been set up with the latest equipments and trained staff in a state of art building having

elegant front elevation with excellent interior planning (photograph attached). The infrastructure required for observati

network like sub-division offices, section offices, stores, civil works for weather stations, created under HP.

The main purpose of Hydrological informatics system (HIS) is to provide accurate and timely hydrological data to the

water users (farmers and industries). The data is now available in a user-friendly format.

Under HP each personnel is trained to improve efficiency, speed and accuracy to generate reliable water

data. Variety of new equipments using microprocessors based data loggers for accurate measurement of

water velocity, weather parameters; water levels were procured and installed.

HIS data such as rainfall data, evaporation data, temperature, wind speed etc. to calculate water

requirement of different crops. With the analyses and validated HIS data, precise calculations are possible

and so, farmers and end users are benefited.

Wide variation, in data collection, analysis and storage practices within and between state and agencies

were found during pre-project days. The HP formalized standard procedure for measurement, validation,

analysis, transfer and dissemination of the data in the form of HIS protocols, which is a crucial gain.

Statistical analysis of Hydrological data used extensively to tackle drought & flood forecasting.

Reservoir sedimentation study to manage surface water resources is highly essential. The integrated Bathymetric

system, for faster data acquisition with better accuracy has been introduced.

Hydrology Project II

Hydrology Project II started in 2006 and will

be completed in 2012.

OBJECTIVE: To extend and promote the

sustained and effective use of the

Hydrological Information System (HIS) by all

potential users concerned with water

resources planning and management, both

public and private, thereby contributing to

improved productivity and cost-effectiveness

of water-related investment in the

participating states / agencies.

The Hydrology Project helps to

Hydrological Data Users Group :

The Hydrology Project plans to develop interactive computerized data banks within the

Central and State agencies. The Hydrological data collection and its management is regarded

as a service to all eligible and legitimate Users in Public and private sector. To encourage the

use of data banks, Hydrology data user group (HDUG) at state level was established since

December 1995. Following Government Organizations are the members of HDUG.

(1) Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd. (2) Director of Agriculture (3) Water Supply & Sewage

Board (4) Health & Family Welfare Department (5) Industries and Mine Department

(6) Commissioner of Fisheries (7) Roads and Building Department (8) Western Railway

Authorities (9) Urban Development Department with seven NGOs/Academic Institutes.

Decentralization of HDUG by formation of Regional HDUG: Under HP II project, To widenthe awareness for use of Hydro meteorological data among the data users, decentralization ofHDUG is done by establishing the Hydrology Data User Group Regional (HDUG-R) atRegional level at Surat, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Bhuj on 29thJan. 2010.For Data

request, data availability etc. of following Districts, following officers are nominated:
