eGEMS
A Dedicated Web Based System for
Ground Water Data Processing
Analysis and Storage
GEMS - Background
 During the Hydrology Project, Phase I, CGWB
developed a Dedicated Ground Water
Estimation and Management System (GEMS)
Software


Data entry & data validation
Processing and analysis
 GEMS was developed in a client server
environment


Integration of GIS, database & other software
It handled a large amount of data,



Originating from about 25,000 manually monitored wells,
About 6000 wells equipped with automatic water level recorders
Exploratory wells etc.
GEMS - Issues
 Required Complex installation and configuration

High Database and of IT Expertise by the users.
 Dependencies on specific hardware, system
software and operating system.
 Difficulty in upgrading or changing modular
components.

Upgrading GIS software to current version of MapInfo.
 Complexity in import and integration of data
from


Different instances of GEMS
Other data management systems.
 Limited
levels


installation not possible as per user
Full range of GEMS functionality need to be installed
Wide range of options for small office user
eGEMS - Concept
 During Hydrology Project Phase II- It was
envisaged to replicate the existing GEMS
capabilities into a internet based




Platform independent
Highly reliable
Lesser user intervention
For CGWB and 13 participating Hydrology Project
Phase –II State Ground Water Agencies
 The Contract for the development of
eGEMS application has been awarded to
M/S TCS, Gurgoan
eGEMS - Outlines
 Internet based platform independent
system
 Client access from web browsers
 No software requirement at user end – Web
browser and internet access needed
 Single, centralized data
databases.
 Scalable to user requirement

Future Road Map
• Enhancing User Base across India
• Integration of eGEMS service with Mobile GIS
• Providing online /offline data entry provision
• Location based services
• Integration with telemetric and other online data
systems
• Providing Citizen interface
Thank You
A step towards…….
Sharing & Caring for
Sustainable Ground Water Management
Implementation Issues
• Procurement of Hardware
• Delayed procurement
• BSNL data center hiring proposal
• Preparedness of States – Data migration/availability
• Non-Availability of existing legacy data in desired formats
• Non- Availability of GIS data in the new States e.g Punjab, Goa, Pudducherry
etc
• Non uniformity of data standards across states
• Expected to spill over beyond Feb 2014.
• Post project maintenance payments
