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.
