CGG developed an online information and monitoring system which enables them
to keep track of water supply across the region. They used DSS tools and a
GIS-enabled web application for better monitoring of supply water thus providing
the administrator and the field officer the option to take necessary decision
when and if required. While designing the GIS report, they considered some key
parameters, like per capita supply, frequency of supply, mode of supply, etc.
They have key indicators and parameters for each sector. The GIS report is
extensive and one can easily drill through state/district municipalities. Now
they can easily identify the gaps in demand and supply in providing water, and
can then allocate the resource. During summer, they can check the availability
of water in the summer storage tank, which helps in judicious planning to meet
the summer needs of the municipalities. The online information and monitoring
system accomplishes the task of building the municipality infrastructure of
water supply sector of ULB in a detailed manner. It stores information like the
installed capacity, treatment capacity, per capita treatment, source of supply,
status of bore, etc. The DSS was developed using open source technologies, mainly
to make it platform independent and keep its size to moderate level.
