d. Neither 1 nor 2

 

• The National Hydrology Project (NHP) is intended for setting up of a system for timely and reliable water resources data acquisition, storage, collation and management.
• It will also provide tools/systems for informed decision making through Decision Support Systems (DSS) for water resources assessment, flood management, reservoir operations, drought management, etc.
• NHP also seeks to build capacity of the State and Central sector organisations in water resources management through the use of Information Systems and adoption of State-of-the-art technologies like Remote Sensing.
• The NHP will help in gathering Hydro-meteorological data which will be stored and analysed on a real time basis and can be seamlessly accessed by any user at the State/District/village level. The project envisages to cover the entire country as the earlier hydrology projects covered only 13 States.
• The components of the proposal are:

1. In Situ Hydromet Monitoring System and Hydromet Data Acquisition System.
2. Setting up of National Water Informatics Centre (NWIC).
3. Water Resources Operation and Management System
4. Water Resources Institutions and Capacity Building
