Foreword
Central Water Commission (CWC) through the Central Dam Safety Organisation (CDSO) is implementing the Dam Reha-bilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP) with financial assistance from the World Bank. As part of the Institutional Strengthening component of DRIP, Dam Health and Rehabil-itation Monitoring Application (DHARMA) software is being developed for effective collection and management of asset and health data for all large dams in India.
The first version of DHARMA consisting of two modules (Project Features and Project Portfolio) was launched at the 14th Technical Committee meeting of the DRIP, held in Ko-chi, Kerala on May 11th 2016. The third, Engineering Fea-tures Module, has since been launched at 16th Technical Committee Meeting, Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu on Decem-ber 1st 2016. The pilot implementation of DHARMA and capturing of data pertaining to the dams covered under DRIP is now being undertaken in parallel.
DHARMA is currently being progressed through two forums. A DHARMA Implementation Group (DIG) has been consti-tuted with representatives from the CDSO and State Water Resources Departments of Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and
Karnataka. DIG will be guiding and supervising the imple-mentation of DHARMA for all DRIP dams. A second forum, the DHARMA Development Group (D3G) has been consti-tuted with CWC Design Directors and is advising the DHAR-MA Team on the design of new modules.
This User Manual has been prepared to explain the main features of the software and help users to enter and man-age their data effectively. It is a dynamic publication and will be updated regularly in line with improvements to the software and in response to user requirements. This manu-al version 1.4 is the fifth version to be released and includes a new section on the Asset Health, Asset Rehabilitation, Stakeholders, Document Library modules.
Suggestions for the continued improvement of the software or this User Manual are welcome; please contact us using the details given at the back of cover page.

There are about 4,900 large dams in India and over 300 are under construction. In addition, there are several thousand smaller dams. All of these dams are vital for ensuring the water security of the country in a sustainable manner and regulating water during the rainy season to prevent floods. However, today many of these dams are facing various structural deficiencies as well as shortcomings in the opera-tion and monitoring facilities.
The Dam Health and Rehabilitation Monitoring Application (DHARMA) has been designed and developed to enhance the capacity of individuals and organisations throughout India to manage their dam assets scientifically and profes-sionally so as to sustain advantages of dams and prevent disasters. DHARMA will address four main challenges, listed and described below:
Ensure Completeness of Information: Today, local and State authorities maintain limited information concerning their dam assets. This gap in information not only affects routine operation and maintenance but also decisions on policy, budgeting and rehabilitation. DHARMA will enable gathering and updating of dam asset information in a cen-tralised and structured manner so as to overcome limita-tions due to multiplicity of agencies, wide geographical spread, voluminous data, varied terminologies and units, unknown and mismatched time reference and inconsistent formats.
Bring Stakeholders Together: There are many stakeholders involved in any dam project, including dam owners, opera-tors, consultants, contractors and suppliers. Often, after commissioning, the details of these stakeholders can be misplaced thus denying access to valuable information, in-sights and skills. DHARMA will ensure that details of all stakeholders are recorded and maintained. Such details may pertain to individuals as well as organisational entities associated with activities throughout the dam lifecycle.
Effectively Manage Asset Inventory: Effective asset man-agement can only be achieved with engagement of key stakeholders, completeness of information and access to appropriate tools — a requirement which is not being met for most of dams in India. DHARMA will provide a complete data collection and management platform for assimilation of varied information for every dam component across all dam projects; thereby benefiting from the insights and learning curves of a wider stakeholder spectrum.
Assess Soundness of Dam Health: Well established proce-dures exist for periodical dam health assessment through routine inspections and detailed investigations wherever required. However, dam asset information in its current form and format often does not show the time dependent variations in dam health condition. DHARMA will ensure prompt capturing of inspection and investigation data di-rectly by the ’Dam Health Engineers’ and provide tools for correct analysis and interpretation of this timeline data.

DHARMA User Types
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 4
Following are the user types, based on which different cat-egory of agencies will be given access:
Licensor: CDSO will act as Licensor and will give licenses to dam owning entities.
Licensee: Any dam owning entity will be a Licensee with the right to add information about their dams in DHARMA. Also government entities and ministries will also be given licenses but with ability to view data only and that too for their governing regions.
Application Users: Following three will be the application user types which will have different working areas and ac-cess rights as per their authority to enter and access data within the Licensee organization
Dams Data Manager: The key person responsible for add-ing all static data related to a dam project in DHARMA. The static content will consist of Project Features and Project Portfolio Data which are generated once in the life of the project and rarely changes.
Dam Health Engineer: the key person involved in gener-ating timeline data for the project. The timeline data could be relating to periodical health inspections, seasonal in-spections, failure investigations, etc. which change over a period of time or season and is very necessary to be closely monitored in order to maintain a dam in a good health.
General User: General User will be any person who is ei-ther professionally related to dams (viz: students pursuing studies in similar or related field, scholars and professionals involved in research studies, etc.) or in any manner related to analysis of data (viz: employees within the dam owning entity, contractors or suppliers who need to file a tender or are currently working on any dam to make decisions relat-ed to their process).
General Users will be given rights to access data depending on their use for e.g. if a contractor is working on a particu-lar dam and wants to access details to help him making correct decisions; general users will not be able to add or make any changes to the data.

DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 6
Following are the user permissions corresponding to each user type:
Central Admin (CA): Central Admin is a person who identi-fies and decides whether to give or not to give a license to any entity. In addition central admin can also add or update list of states, districts, basins and rivers to be populated as master for other users
Central Super Admin (CSA): Can override the decisions of Central Admin and also possess the authority to even re-tract the license provided by the Central Admin.
Licensee Admin (LA): Identifies and decides the people to act as Dams Data Manager and Dam Health Engineer. He also possess the power to give or revoke access rights to any person as a General User. He can also change project basket (accessible data) for different users in the real time. In addition Licensee Admin can add or update list of districts and rivers to be populated as master for other users. This right may be given to selected Licensees namely State Dam Safety Organisations (SPMU). A private dam owner may be a Licensee but shall not be given power to change districts and rivers.
Licensee Super Admin (LSA): Can override decisions of Li-censee Admin and also possess the authority to retract login access from their users. In Addition Licensee Super Admin possess the authority to delete any dam which was added by mistake.
Dams Data Manager (DDM): Updates data of any project for Project Features. The Dams Data Manager also adds the physical structure of the project in Project Portfolio to de-scribe the whole architecture of project in a tree view man-ner.
Dam Health Engineer (DHE): Adds various time bound data to the project viz: pre-monsoon and post-monsoon inspec-tions, health inspections, etc.
General User: Given access to selected or all dams based on his requirement and authority. He will possess only the right to view data for the projects he has been provided access by Licensee Admin.

DHARMA Home Page
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 10
The DHARMA home page is the first page displayed after logging. It can be accessed by clicking ‘Home’ in the menu bar and is split into four parts starting (anti-clockwise order) from top left : i) Licensee Details, ii) Updates from Licensee, iii) Updates from CDSO and iv) Vision, Mission, Values and Policy.
The upper parts (Licensee Details and Vision Mission, Values and Policy) contain mostly static information while the two lower ‘Updates’ parts provide more dynamic information. Each of the four parts is described below.
Licensee Details: 12 fields capture the key details about the Licensee. The Licensee ID is the unique, sequential number allocated to each Licensee on joining DHARMA and is used for administration of the software. This field is for infor-mation only and cannot be edited by the user. In the exam-ple shown, Orissa Water Resources Department is therefore the tenth Licensee to have joined DHARMA. Licensee Name is entered by the Central Admin on creation of a Licensee and is bound to the Licensee ID. The remaining fields are editable by the Licensee Admin and capture Jurisdiction (text field for the geographical area or States under the re-sponsibility of the Licensee) and contact details (Address, Contact Person, Designation, Phone (Office or Residential), Mobile and Fax).
The Contact Person assigned should have the ‘Licensee Ad-min’ or ‘Licensee Super Admin’ user account and should be at Deputy Director level or above in the Licensee organisa-tion.
Updates from Licensee: This text field is the first of two ‘dynamic’ updates boxes. ‘Updates from Licensee’ is provid-ed for the Licensee Admin to publish recent news or up-dates on behalf of the Licensee organisation to be seen by all users having accounts associated with this Licensee or-ganisation.
Updates from CDSO: This text field is provided for the Cen-tral Admin of the Central Dam Safety Organisation (Central Water Commission) to publish recent news or updates; to be seen by all DHARMA users. It can also be used by the CDSO to publish reminders and tips to assist the implemen-tation of the software.
Vision, Mission, Values and Policies: This text field is similar to the ‘Licensee Details’ section in that it contains more static information concerning the Licensee organisation. In this example, the text is taken from the Orissa Water Re-sources Department’s website. This field is to be adminis-tered by the Licensee Admin.

Structure and Design
Content area
Menu bar
Tool bar
Side panel
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 12
The web page design of the DHARMA software consists of four main web parts: i) the menu bar (top), ii) the content area (central), iii) the tool bar (bottom) and iv) the side pan-el (right). Each of these four parts is explained in detail be-low:
Menu bar: The menu bar of DHARMA currently consists of up to three tiers – the top tier containing the log in details and the second tier containing the main headings that are always in view and the third tier presenting sub-headings. Third tier collapses into the ‘Home’ page and expands once one of the other headings along the second tier is selected. The third tier of the menu bar is also used to present tabs for the Project Features module.
Content area: The central space of any of the DHARMA pages is where the content is stored. The design of this con-tent area varies slightly from section to section – efforts have been made to adapt the design of the content area to the needs of each section of the software, whilst keeping the look and feel consistent throughout. For example, due to the large width of the content area it was decided to group the information into two columns – the Home page is organised under blue headings, the Project Features fields are grouped into brackets and the Project Portfolio module content area is split into two main ‘boxes’.
Tool bar: The tool bar which runs along the bottom of all DHARMA web pages is split into two sections. The left side
allows the user to edit features (dependent on their user permissions) whereas the right side, starting from the light bulb icon, presents context-based help in the form of tips.
Side panel: The side panel consists of two ‘boxes’ – the up-per ‘Navigation Pane’ allows the user to search for and se-lect dam projects within their respective permissions. For example, the Central Admin would have all dams in DHAR-MA listed and searchable, whereas a Dams Data Manager for Hirakud Dam would only have Hirakud Dam listed and would therefore have no need for the search functionality. The second ‘Components’ tab lists and allows the user to search for project components within a particular dam pro-ject – this feature is linked to the Project Portfolio module. The lower section ‘Your Notes’ box allows a user to write and store either general or dam project specific notes for him/herself – these are saved on the user’s account and are not accessible to others.
In addition to the four main DHARMA web parts, there are several ‘pop out’ menus throughout the software. Upon selection of these pop out menus, the web page remains visible but greyed out in the background. These pop out menus have also been designed such that their look and feel is consistent with the rest of the software. One example is the use of consistent colour coding - upon selection head-ings in the second tier of the menu bar change from light blue to dark blue and tabs throughout the software change from blue to green.

Project Features Module
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 14
Once a project has been selected from navigation pane, this module can be accessed. This module is all about the static details of a project which hardly change. Following are the tabs which can be accessed as per the requirement of the user:
General: Contains the general data of the project like: name, project ownership, project type and project history. Depending upon the purpose selected from project type section, 9 benefits tabs will appear along the top menu.
Location: Contains project location information such as state, district, latitude, longitude, nearest airport, nearest rail station, nearest national highway, nearest state high-way, river basin, river, upstream and downstream projects.
Irrigation: Contains information on beneficiaries of irriga-tion, demand and system of irrigation of the project.
Hydropower: Contains information about beneficiaries of hydropower, generation and system of hydropower.
Navigation: Contains information about beneficiaries of navigation and waterways of the project.
Water Supply: Contains the information of beneficiaries of water supply and system of water supply of the project.
Industrial: Contains the information about beneficiaries of Industrial uses of the project.
Tourism: Contains the information about tourism types and number of tourists per year.
Flood Control: Contains the information about beneficiaries of the flood controlled by the project.
Fishing: Contains the information of beneficiaries of the fishing done in the project.
Other Benefits: Provided to capture any additional infor-mation which does not come under the other options.
Financial: Contains the information about the financial as-pects of the project like original estimate, revised estimate, latest / actual estimate.
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 15
General Tab
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 16
The General Tab of Project Features serves as an introduc-tion to the selected dam project. Information is grouped into four main brackets: i) Name, ii) Agency, iii) Type and iv) History. The fields should be completed in this order – each is presented below in more detail.
Name: The first field, the Project Identification Code (PIC) is automatically generated on addition of a new dam and can no longer be edited thereafter. The second ‘Project Name’ field is also completed by the Licensee Admin on addition of the dam project and is the official name which is assigned to the PIC and displayed in the ‘Navigation Pane’. The remain-ing three fields allow the user to enter any other names used to refer to the dam.
Agency: In the first ‘State Government(s)’ field, the user is requested to select the one or more State Governments responsible for the selected dam project. This ‘State Gov-ernment(s)’ field is linked to the ‘Multi-State Project?’ field in the ‘Type’ bracket – where more than one State Govern-ment is selected, the ‘Multi-State Project?’ field automati-cally changes to ‘Y’. The other fields within the Agency bracket request the user to state the Primary Project Own-er, Primary Operator, Project Planner and Project Designer. The Remarks field is a freeform text box and allows the Dams Data Manager to add any additional comments or clarifications in relation to the organisations involved with the selected dam project.
Type: The ‘Project Category’ is selected from a drop-down menu by the Licensee Admin on addition of the dam project and cannot be modified by the Dams Data Manager. There are five categories – Small Dam (less than 10m), Low Height Dam (10-15m), Medium Height Dam (15-30m), High Height Dam (30-100m), Very High Height Dam (above 100m). The final, Project Purpose heading allows the Dams Data Man-ager to select up to nine benefits provided by the dam pro-ject. For each of the benefits selected an additional web page is provided to capture the corresponding information. These pages are accessed through tabs listed along the third tier of the menu bar.
History: The fourth bracket of the ‘General’ content area allows the Dams Data Manager to enter the current status and key dates of the selected dam project. Four possibili-ties are presented for current status – DPR, Under construc-tion, Partial utilization, Completed & Operational, Decom-missioned. Depending on the status selected, other fields and sections of the software will be disabled. For example, the fifth ‘Decommissioned’ date field will be disabled in the case of a project with ‘Completed & Operational’ status. The dates entered in the four fields ‘Start of Construction’, ‘First Impoundment’, ‘Project Commissioned’ and ‘Project Decommissioned’ should be taken from official project liter-ature and referenced accordingly in the ‘Remarks’ box.
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 17
Location Tab
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 18
The Location Tab explains the location of the selected dam project in administrative and physical terms. The infor-mation is split into four main brackets: i) Administrative, ii) Access, iii) Hydrological and iv) Geographical. Each of these sections is described in further detail below.
Administrative: The Dams Data Manager enters the State, District and Nearest City for the selected dam project from corresponding drop-down menus. Where the dam project is located on a State boundary, the State corresponding to the Government having the primary responsibility for the dam should be selected. The lists of ‘States’ and ‘Districts’ are managed by the Central Admin under the ‘Masters’ heading in the second tier of the menu bar.
Access: The information in this bracket lists the nearest airport, rail station and roadways to the selected dam site and will be of particular use to visitors planning their jour-ney. The fields are designed to be dynamic so that either existing options can be selected or new options added easi-ly. The corresponding distances are currently entered man-ually rather than calculated automatically and should be entered as the distance by road rather than straight-line distance. The remarks box allows the Dams Data Manager to enter any additional information or clarification regard-ing access to the selected dam site, including relevant health and safety or contact information.
Hydrological: This bracket summarises the location of the selected dam project in hydrological terms – namely on which river and within which river basin the dam is located, what are the projects immediately up and downstream and how far along the river are they and what are the interna-tional or inter-state aspects, if any. Where such aspects are applicable – for example the case of Mullaperiyar Dam on the border of Tamil Nadu and Kerala – the check box should be selected and a brief description provided in the text field. This description can be expanded within the remarks box underneath.
Geographical: The first six fields of this bracket allow the Dams Data Manager to define the co-ordinates for the pro-ject location and project extent. Two systems are provided – by decimal or by degrees, minutes and seconds – data is entered into one of the columns and automatically convert-ed to populate the other. This feature will be further im-proved to provide an option to select the project location and project extent direct from aerial imagery rather than having to type in. The ‘Geographical’ bracket also allows the Dams Data Manager to select the seismic zone corre-sponding to the dam project location according to the Seis-mic Zones of India map (IS: 1893-2002, BIS, GoI). The final box allows the Dams Data Manager to enter any additional information or clarifications.
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 19
Irrigation Tab
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 20
The Irrigation Tab is the first of nine tabs which list details associated with the project benefits selected in the first, ‘General Tab’ – each of these nine tabs only appear if the corresponding check box is selected.
Typically, a given dam project would have three to four main benefits selected by the Dams Data Manager and very rarely all nine. The Irrigation Tab content area is divided into three brackets: i) Beneficiaries, ii) System and iii) De-mand. Each is described in more detail below.
Beneficiaries: The fields in this bracket allow the Dams Data Manager to summarise the number of beneficiaries and area served by farm type. The categories provide are Small Farms having an area of less than 2 ha, Medium Farms hav-ing an area of between 2 and 10 ha and Large Farms having an area of over 10 ha.
To ensure sufficient flexibility in case this breakdown is not available, check boxes are provided so the types of farm can be known without having to give the corresponding values. To find out more about the customisation of units in DHAR-MA, please refer to the ‘Unit Customization’ section.
System: Similar to the matrix layout in the Beneficiaries bracket, the Conveyance Types fields allow the Dams Data Manager to summarise the breakdown of the conveyance infrastructure in terms of main, branch and distributary components and to what extent these are either unlined open channel canals, lined open channel canals or closed (pipes). Similarly, the application types are also to be bro-ken down by area corresponding to either surface, sprinkler or drip irrigation. A ‘Remarks’ box is provided to capture any clarifications and further information on technical as-pects of the system.
Demand: This bracket is designed to explain the seasonal volumetric water demand of the irrigation project on the selected dam. The ‘Gross Command Area’ (GCA) is the total area which could be economically supplied by the system whereas the ‘Culturable Command Area’ (CCA) is the area within the GCA which is fit for cultivation. The ‘Annual Irri-gated Area’ is calculated automatically as the sum of the areas under cultivation during the three main seasons. The corresponding percentage is this total area divided by the CCA and represents the ‘Cropping Intensity’. The ‘Annual Volumetric Allocation’ for a typical and dry year should be taken from the available project literature. A ‘Remarks’ box is provided to capture any clarifications and further infor-mation on the irrigation demand aspects, for example the main crops grown.
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 21
Hydropower Tab
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 22
The Hydropower tab is designed to capture the main infor-mation for dam projects having hydroelectric power gener-ation capacity. The tab is divided into three brackets: i) Beneficiaries, ii) System and iii) Generation. Each of these are described in detail below.
Beneficiaries: Given that most hydroelectric dam projects in India are connected to the National Grid, it is difficult to provide a number of beneficiaries as for say, irrigation or water supply. Instead, a freeform text box is provided for the Dams Data Manager to explain more broadly the objec-tives and benefits of the hydroelectric component of the dam project.
System: The Dams Data Manager is requested to select one of three options by clicking in the appropriate radio-button. ‘Storage Hydropower’ consists of a dam with a large reser-voir and relatively low ‘head’, ‘Run-of-the-River’ projects consist of a small reservoir and high head and ‘Pumped Storage’ involves two reservoirs in series with water pumped from the lower reservoir back up to the higher one outside periods of peak demand. A freeform ‘Remarks’ box is provided for the Dams Data Manager to provide further detail on the technical aspects of the hydropower compo-nent of the selected dam project.
Generation: The third and final bracket of the Hydropower tab allows the Dams Data Manager to summarise the in-stalled capacity (power) and typical annual electricity gener-ation (energy) for the selected dam project. The values for Total Installed Capacity, Firm Power, Peak and Base Load should be taken from the project literature.
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 23
Navigation Tab
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 24
The Navigation Tab captures benefits of the selected dam project associated with riverine navigation. The Tab is split into two brackets: i) Beneficiaries and ii) Waterway, both of which are explained below.
Beneficiaries: The two fields ‘Passengers’ and ‘Freight’ are to capture information relating to the commercial value associated with improved navigation brought about by the dam project. Where these numbers are already available, the reference should be provided in the Remarks box. Oth-erwise, the Dams Data Manager can just select the corre-sponding check boxes to confirm whether there is naviga-tion of freight, passengers or both. Number of Ton-miles for a given freight shipment is the mass of the freight multi-plied by the distance transported.
Waterway: This bracket is to capture information about the waterway supported by the dam project. The ‘Length of Waterway’ should be taken as the distance along the river from the first to the last major port. The ‘Important Inland Ports’ is a text field for capturing the names of these ports along the waterway. The ‘Remarks’ box should be used to provide further clarification.
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 25
Water Supply Tab
DHARMA User Manual, Version 1.5, June 2018: CDSO_MAN_MS_02_v1.5, page 26
The Water Supply Tab is also split across two brackets – i) Beneficiaries and ii) System – and captures the details of the water supply projects supplied by the selected dam. The information captured in both brackets is described below.
Beneficiaries: As for the irrigation tab, a matrix form is pro-vided such that the Dams Data Manager can provide a breakdown of the volume of water and beneficiary popula-tion across types of area served: Rural, Semi-Urban, Urban and Metropolitan. A location column is also provided for listing of the main villages, towns or cities served within these areas.
