National Hydrology Project retweetledi

Rivers have been the lifelines of humanity since the dawn of civilisation. On World Rivers Day 2025, the Survey of India reaffirms its commitment to protecting and managing these precious resources through the power of geospatial foundation that supports river conservation, disaster preparedness and sustainable water management.
Under the National Hydrology Project (NHP), high-resolution Digital Elevation Models are generated for the River Ganga and its tributaries covering 5 km area on both sides of river banks along with the orthorectified imageries. These datasets strengthen water resource planning, flood hazard monitoring, and disaster preparedness.
In addition, bathymetric surveys of southern rivers in West Bengal provide detailed cross-section mapping that improves monitoring and preparedness against flooding.
Through the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), the Survey of India delivered high-resolution DEM and maps for the Ganga River, extending 10 km on both banks for supporting the rejuvenation and sustainable management under the Namami Gange programme.
For hydro and water infrastructure projects, the Survey of India provides large-scale base maps and conducts the dam deformation studies, ensuring accuracy, safety, and long-term sustainability.
The Survey of India continues to provide authentic geospatial data and reliable surveys to safeguard rivers—the lifelines of our nation—for present and future generations.
