eGEMS

A Dedicated Web Based System for Ground Water Data Processing

Analysis and Storage

GEMS - Background During the Hydrology Project, Phase I, CGWB

developed a Dedicated Ground Water Estimation and Management System (GEMS) Software Data entry & data validation Processing and analysis

GEMS was developed in a client server environment Integration of GIS, database & other software It handled a large amount of data,

Originating from about 25,000 manually monitored wells, About 6000 wells equipped with automatic water level recorders Exploratory wells etc.

GEMS - Issues Required Complex installation and configuration

High Database and of IT Expertise by the users.

Dependencies on specific hardware, system software and operating system.

Difficulty in upgrading or changing modular components. Upgrading GIS software to current version of MapInfo.

Complexity in import and integration of data from Different instances of GEMS Other data management systems.

Limited installation not possible as per user levels Full range of GEMS functionality need to be installed Wide range of options for small office user

eGEMS - Concept During Hydrology Project Phase II- It was

envisaged to replicate the existing GEMS capabilities into a internet based Platform independent Highly reliable Lesser user intervention

For CGWB and 13 participating Hydrology Project Phase –II State Ground Water Agencies

The Contract for the development of eGEMS application has been awarded to M/S TCS, Gurgoan

eGEMS - Outlines

Internet based platform independent system

Client access from web browsers No software requirement at user end – Web

browser and internet access needed Single, centralized data store for

databases. Scalable to user requirement

Roll Out

Future Road Map

• Enhancing User Base across India• Integration of eGEMS service with Mobile GIS

• Providing online /offline data entry provision• Location based services

• Integration with telemetric and other online data systems

• Providing Citizen interface

Thank You

A step towards……. Sharing & Caring for

Sustainable Ground Water Management

Implementation Issues

• Procurement of Hardware• Delayed procurement• BSNL data center hiring proposal

• Preparedness of States – Data migration/availability• Non-Availability of existing legacy data in desired formats• Non- Availability of GIS data in the new States e.g Punjab, Goa, Pudducherry

etc• Non uniformity of data standards across states

• Expected to spill over beyond Feb 2014.• Post project maintenance payments
