Data to be integrated with National Water Informatics Centre database, which would be helpful in conservation efforts
Capturing data on the Jaldoot app, a mobile application developed by the Union Ministry of Rural Development and the Panchayati Raj Ministry, to monitor the underground water levels across the country, began in the district on Friday.
The application has been developed in the wake of the rapid decline of groundwater table in the country.
The data would be collected by utilising the services of overseers of MGNREGA at the grama panchayat level after monitoring two selected wells in a village twice a year, during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon.
The data would be uploaded to the app and later would be integrated with the database of the National Water Informatics Centre, which would be utilised for analysis and helpful in conservation efforts. The post-monsoon data collection in the district would be completed by the end of October.
