However, there is no need ro wait for this. Already, the GIS jrlfortnation as it is available now, especially in combination with dam obtained. through [he Hydrology Project, has become very useful in two pro)ec(s.

The first project studied the return flow from irrigation water in the Chaukinala Area of the Hirakud command.

This project was executed under HI' and concentrated on the Baragarh canal system. It aimed to provide knowledge on what would be the best places to install 35 piezometers.
