Monitoring and modelling

Water quality and quantity monitoring and modelling is required to control and manage water resources effectively. PAVITRA GANGA aimed to deliver robust, smart, and comprehensive solutions to improve knowledge and understanding of the hydrological regime. This enhances the control and the management of technological solutions and assess the impact of mitigation measures and scenarios for urban planners.

IRAP, CNR-IRSA, VITO, IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi worked together to implement a modelling strategy to analyse the changes in water availability and quality in response to a range of water management interventions, consisting of different degrees of wastewater treatment and disposal and water use efficiency improvements in various sectors.

AKVO worked with IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi and VITO to deliver a water quality monitoring approach using hand held devices and Akvo Flow and Akvo Caddisfly tools.

This dashboard integrates the water quality monitoring data and the results of the modelling of our project.

VITO, IRAP, CNR-IRSA, IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi collaborated to create enhanced land use maps which better characterize and differentiate industrialized regions via ground based validation and remote sensing.

VITO and IIT Delhi worked together to design and install smart grab samplers at two locations within the Barapullah Drain area.  

Aqua Q, IIT Delhi and IHE Delft are working together to demonstrate the AQUATRACK® service to monitor the effluent quality of the Aerobic MBR that will be installed at the Barapullah Drain innovation site.
