Joint Action Plan for Statewide Harnessing of Water Resources Using Geo-Informatics

Developed for capturing the Assets of WRD from field and the location of water bodies,
rivers and nallas for value addition to the existing rich geo spatial database of water resources
in the vibrant state of Maharashtra. The exact location of Assets through the use of GPS, date
And time stamped photographs ensures the creation of a comprehensive database
