Chennai becomes the first Indian city to have a comprehensive automatic groundwater monitoring system.200 Automatic GW level recorders (1 in every ward), 20 Rain gauges have been installed (1 each in 15 zones & 5 lakes) by @CHN_Metro_Water. A video explaining how it works -
Real time data of Ground water, rainfall & lake levels can be accessed by anyone in the comprehensive portal in @CHN_Metro_Water website by following this link - http://122.183.188.248:8080/CMWSSB-web/onlineMonitoringSystem/waterLevel
One can select his location out of the 200 locations and can have a real-time record of Ground water levels in his locality.
Day wise reports can be generated in one go and can be downloaded as pdf or excel documents.
Also reports of longitudinal GW data of a particular location over the selected time period can be downloaded. Historical GW data dating back to 1987 can also be retrieved.
Similarly, real-time rainfall data and historical data from 1965 & daily lake levels can be accessed from the portal. In summary, this is a milestone in the country in quantifying the water cycle and also making information accessible to the citizens. @CGWB_CHQ@JalShaktiAbhyan
