Mission Note November-December, 2014 India Water Resources Management Program - Hydrology Project Phase 3 World Bank Identification Mission November-December, 2014 I. Introduction: 1. On September 2014, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance, Government of India has requested World Bank assistance for a follow-on Project (HP-III) to the recently concluded Hydrology Project Phase II (HP-II). The letter dated September 1, 2014 has proposed a budget of INR 3000 crores [US$ 370 million Bank assistance and USD 130 Million GoI i.e. 30% counterpart funding by Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MOWR, RD & GR) and/or states]. The proposal shared by DEA is attached for reference and available relevant material is also posted on the project’s website (www.indiawrm.org). 2. HP-II closed on May 31, 2014, and was implemented in 13 states and 8 central agencies, predominantly in Central and Southern India. The Hydrology Project has been central to efforts in India to improve the planning, development and management of its water resources, as well as flood forecasting and reservoir operations in real-time. The project - having completed two phases (Phase I from 1996 to 2003 and phase II from 2006 to 2014) - has successfully established the backbone of a comprehensive Hydrological Information System (HIS) in India, providing scientifically verified, uniformly accepted and widely accessed hydrological records covering all aspects of the hydrological cycle. More important even than the improvement and standardization of the country’s hydro-meteorological and geo-hydrological monitoring systems, the project was instrumental in promoting a paradigm shift from relatively isolated water resources development towards comprehensive planning, development and management of water resources in a river basin context. The Hydrology Project has established a platform for water agencies in India to learn from each other, and has encouraged them to modernize existing hydro-meteorological monitoring systems, move from manual to Real-Time Data Acquisition Systems (RTDAS), and develop tools for Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management, with the objective to enhance the productivity and cost effectiveness of water related investments. For the first time in the country, in three river basins, climate forecasts have been integrated with stream flow forecasts and reservoir operations, which has improved forecasting lead times significantly and thus allows additional time to prepare for flood management and improve reservoir operations. 3. Based on the successful outcome of the Phase II project, the Government of India has now proposed to expand the project to the States in the Ganga and Brahmaputra Basins, The proposed project would not only strengthen the existing monitoring systems for water availability, but also include the monitoring of water use and put much emphasis on IWRM and real-time monitoring and flow forecasting. Details of proposed project HP-III is given in Annexure 1. Page 1 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 II. Implementation Arrangement: Nodal Implementing Agency MoWR, RD & GR *Project Coordination Secretariat (PCS) to with housed here. Implementing Agencies (IAs) ‒ ‒ Project Duration States and UTs across India 10 Central Agencies (including MoWR RD & GR, CWC, CGWB, NIH, IMD, CPCB, SoI, NRSC, CWPRS, and BBMB). * IAs are to formulate Project Management Unit (PMU) for the coordination and execution of the project. 8 Years Participation in HP-3 ‒ Based on the fulfilment of the “ readiness criteria”, the IAs will be allocated budget in the HP-3. Allocation of project budget to IAs ‒ At the start of project, budget will be allocated to IAs based on their “readiness criteria”. Thereafter, the budget allocation will be based on their performance and needs. The project is designed to be flexible and will be reviewed and updated on annual basis. Well performing agencies will be given preference during budget reallocation. ‒ ‒ Project Implementation Plan (PIP) preparation ‒ ‒ III. It is mandatory to use the PIP template by all IAs and duly submitted to MoWR, RD & GR in the stipulated time. Proposed activities in PIP should be prepared in 2 Phases. The activities under Phase 1 will be taken up first on priority basis and Phase 2 activities will be considered based on the performance of the IAs. Timeline and clearances of project 4. MoWR RD & GR has already taken clearance from the Planning Commission. Implementing agencies need not to take any central clearance. The Central Project Management Unit (CPMU) of MoWR RD & GR shall compile the Project Implementation Plan (PIP) and will arrange for the EFC clearance at central level. The states do need to comply with their own State Clearance procedures prior to submitting the final project documents including the PIP. However, they may share the preliminary draft proposals prior to such clearance to expedite the project preparation process. Funding arrangements for implementing agencies shall be shared by MoWR RD & GR. As per DEA communication, the understanding is that out of Page 2 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 total project budget of INR 3000 crores, 30% (INR 1000 crore) would be funded by participating agencies including MoWR, RD & GR and participating central and state agencies. 5.

Major consultancies for the first two years of the Project should be awarded prior to effectiveness. 7. Retroactive financing would be permissible for agreed expenditures incurred during one year prior to effectiveness of the project, provided that the procurements are made using World Bank procedures. Therefore, the project agencies are advised to proceed with the initiation of activities as needed and process requests for budgets within this year in their systems. 8. The IAs must immediately formulate their PMU by deputing relevant staff and start preparing the Project Implementation Plan (PIP) for its submission to MoWR, RD & GR. Page 3 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 V. Consultation with the states/implementing agencies: 9. The World Bank Team1 had extensive discussions with the participating States and Central agencies during September 18-19, 2014 and November 16-22, 2014, and reviewed proposals for the follow-on project. Prior to this meeting, during September 15-17, two workshops were organized wherein international and national agencies and consultants shared information on the latest available monitoring equipment for hydro-meteorology, as well as information on available tools and modeling software for flood forecasting and management, surface-groundwater interaction, water resources planning and management, and the use of relevant Earth Observation products. Detailed proceedings are available on the project’s website. 10. In between short visits have been conducted by the World Bank team to several states including Assam, Bihar, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. 11. A Regional Consultation Workshop for the states of Ganga-Brahmaputra basins and North-East India was held in Kolkata during 17-18 November 2014 which was hosted by West Bengal DWRID. Mission team would like to thank DWRID for their excellent arrangement. Almost 10 states participated in the workshop. 12. Regional meeting-cum-working session on HP-3 and PIP preparation for the southern states was held in Bangalore during 1-3 December 2014 where engineers from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Puducherry and Goa participated. The World Bank team would like to thank the Karnataka Water Resources Department for their excellent arrangement. 13. Similar regional meeting-cum working session on PIP preparation for the Northern states was held in Delhi during 4-5 December 2014 which was participated by engineers from Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. 14. Based on the Bank’s team interaction with the states engineers, it is understood that the states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh and Goa are in advance stage of readiness for HP-3 and has already submitted their PIP proposal for review to the World Bank and MoWR, RD & GR. VI. Regional workshop Proceedings: 15. Dr. Amarjit Singh, Additional Secretary, MoWR RD & GR chaired the Regional Workshop in Kolkata (during 18 Nov 2014) and provided an overview of the key issues the Ministry have recognized and would like address during HP-3. i. Ground water use: 16% blocks in India are over exploited which are equivalent to 1056 blocks. In the North East, the number of tube wells is going down as electrical prices rise. Need for the hour is to search for alternative sources of energy to sustain and promote irrigation. ii. Water demand: the current annual water consumption for India is estimated 730 BCM which is projected to rise to 1130 BCM. There is a great need to evaluate where the 1 Mission Members Mmes/Messrs: Anju Gaur Sr. Water Resources Specialist and Task Team Leader; William Young, Lead Water Resources Management Specialist; Satya Priya, Nagaraja Rao Harshadeep, Tapas Paul and, World Bank Consultants: Johan Grijsen, Chabungbam Rajagopal Singh, Carter Borden, KAS Mani, C.S. Renjit and Padmakar Kelkar. Page 4 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. ix. x. xi. maximum stress is occurring and will occur in the future for effective planning of the limited water resources. Water use efficiency in irrigation: Most irrigation systems in the country have been estimated to have efficiency ranging between is 16- 38%. Looking into the projected rapid increase in water demand in the future, large emphasis must be given in development of more efficient and effective irrigation systems in the country. Flooding: Due to rapid growth of population, the floodplains of many major rivers of India are been encroached upon leading to occurrence of devastation flood events on annual basis. This has called for development of concrete strategies for management flooding in the country. Transforms data into decision making: Priority must be given in developing tools and technologies for converting the hydro-meteorological data collected by various central and government agencies into information for supporting decision making. Water Quality: Water quality continues to decline in many river and reservoir systems (e.g. the arsenic contamination in ground water resources of West Bengal). To better understand and manage the pollution, proper tools and better laboratory equipment need to be established. Capacity building of all stakeholders including setting-up of Centers of Excellence for Water Resources Management in each state to spread the usefulness of the scientific knowledge. Public-private options for management: Many problems can be effectively addressed by incorporating public entities into the solution. These should be examined. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM): It is imperative to involve all water users for effective and holistic management of the resources. This is inclusive of women folks. Enhancing collaboration between Centre & States as well as between states. Improving access to information in the public-domain. 16. The key points discussed with the states representatives during the regional workshops/meetings are: i. States recognize the need of river basin management for proper water resources planning and in particular flood management. Both upper and lower riparian states indicated their interest to exchange the data for flood management and planning the water distribution. ii. The states were keen on developing their PIP but needed some guidance and support from PCS for securing administrative approvals. iii. The states particularly new ones could use guidance in following: a. Training on the World Bank procurement procedure for new states as they were not clear even to engage expert to help them. b. Design of HIS: The states needed guidance in designing the HIS system: optimal number of stations; site selection and instrument specifications (please do refer Page 5 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 HP2/1 Manuals). Specifications are also provided in the website. Latest example bid document will also be shared with the states. iv. All participating states were introduced the PIP Cost Table Template prepared by the World Bank Team in consultation with MoWR, RD & GR during the workshops and meetings. The states are further advised to revise their HP-3 PIP proposal and submit (as per template format) to MoWR, RD & GR at the soonest possible for their comments and finalization. VII. Preparation for HP3 17. In order to be ready for HP3, all agencies will be required to have following: Submit Project Implementation Plan (PIP) to MoWR, RD & GD Have institutions ready – set-up Project Management Unit immediately.

Page 10 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 Annexure -1 Outline of proposed project Project Development Objective would be to “improve the scope and accessibility of water resources data and information and to strengthen water resources planning and management in selected institutions across India”. Outcome indicators: Proposed PDO outcome indicators are: ‒ Volume of data stored and accessible online through the National WRIS ‒ Number of states uploading and accessing data through the National WRIS ‒ Number of registered users of National WRIS and volume of data downloads ‒ Number of river sub-basins in which flood risk has been reduced ‒ Number of water management agencies using water resources assessments to guide water resource planning and/or operations ‒ Number of river sub-basins with water resource assessment reports. Description of the project: Based on the successes previous phases of project, the GoI wishes to expand these efforts to cover the entire country including the states of the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra basins2. HP-III will further improve and expand monitoring systems for water availability and water use. It will emphasize real-time monitoring for operations, flow forecasting, integrated water resource planning on a river basin basis and strengthening of community-based groundwater management. HP-III will contribute to the GoI’s Digital India initiative by integrating across state and central agencies. Building on the earlier phases, HP-III will include the following: a. Database standardization: a national information center and center of excellence will be established to standardize databases and associated procedures and to integrate hydro- meteorological and water use data of the country. b. Transparent and reliable water data: real-time and automated monitoring with online delivery for reliable and transparent data access in support of operational management. c. Balanced centralized and decentralized support: the project will provide both generic national solutions (through central agencies) and specific state-based solutions. d. Operational systems: state-level operational systems will be put in place for flood Page 11 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 management and irrigation distribution. e. River basin approach: IWRM on a river basin basis will be promoted to devise appropriate solutions for planning investments and developments. f. Flexible design: the project will support performance based funding allocations and flexibility in program to address the needs of states. g. Cross learning: cross-learning among states will be continued including transferring knowledge from HP-II state agencies to new HP-III agencies. Major Components: The project will consist of the following four components: Component A: Improving In Situ Monitoring System (IMS): USD 300 million. This component will expand and upgrade water resources monitoring systems, bolster database population and maintenance, develop community-based data collection and water management, and conduct site specific surveys to the states in the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra Basins and in North-East India. This will include: In situ real time/automated monitoring systems (weather, river, reservoir, canal, groundwater and water quality) ; Community-based hydrological monitoring and management system; Implementation of protocols developed by central agencies (CWC, CGWB and CPCB) for inter-agency data sharing, data validation and analytical quality control procedures for water quality laboratories; Establishment of National Water Information Center though upgrading and expansion of database software on web-based centralized systems for data entry, data storage, data management and data dissemination, developed under HP-II (including India-WRIS); and Targeted surveys such as i) priority reservoir sedimentation surveys, ii) bathymetric surveys in river stretches with critical flooding issues, iii) groundwater exploration and aquifer mapping for selected areas, and iv) water quality and waste load surveys, to assess the load, fate and transport of critical constituents within water quality hotspots. The output of this component would be a national Water Resources Monitoring System. Component B: Improving Spatial Information System (SIS): USD 80 million The component will strengthen and make available remote sensing and spatial information data to water managers and stakeholders through providing and processing of spatial data sets, creating tools for tailor-made processing of spatial data, and developing web-based portals for public access to information. Development of centralized spatial data sets will largely be produced by ISRO/NRSC, IMD and Survey of India (SOI) with the dissemination of the information via a publicly accessible, web-based portal for non-classified data. Products to be developed include: Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the entire country for improved flood hazard mapping and other planning purposes, Page 12 of 18 Mission Note November-December, 2014 Local high resolution surveys (such as LIDAR) for flood prone areas to support flood risk mapping and management action plans, Satellite based estimates of water balance parameters including climate, land use, irrigation water requirement, and flood assessment Publicly accessible, web-based portal for non-classified data. The output of this component will be centralized Water Resources Information System (WRIS) customized with respect to various users including public, state agencies and other departments. Component C: Promoting Water Resources Operation and Management Applications (WROMA): USD 50 million This component will ensure the usefulness of the WRMS and WRIS data sets through decision support systems (DSS) for river basin planning, water balance assessments, climate risk assessments, water quality management, scenario analysis for investment planning, and tools for community based groundwater management. It will develop short-term and seasonal flow forecasts, establish multiple flood/flow forecasting systems important for operation of reservoirs and flood management, and introduce on pilot basis operation and water distribution systems for irrigation systems. Flagship knowledge products will include IWRM plans for selected river basins, a report on the status of India’s water resources, including water balance assessments, water quality assessments and support purpose driven studies (PDS) on specific issues for each IA, including climate risk assessments for present and planned water resources infrastructure. Component D: Strengthening Water Resources Institutions and Capacity Building (WRICB): USD 70 million Component D will strengthen and build capacity in the participating Implementing Agencies (Water Resources Institutions) through establishing Water Resources Knowledge Centers and providing infrastructure and ITC equipment, capacity building and extensive training programs, supporting project management through Technical Assistance and Management Consultancies, and funding of incremental staff. In particular, the project will support the establishment of National Water Information Center (upgraded version of India WRIS) and center of excellence at National and state levels. The National Water Information Center will provide a central platform for integration and exchange of water data across the country and will ensure the sustainability of data management. MoWR RD&GR had established India WRIS through their own resources and they are committed to continue National water information center after the project. In addition, the project will support strengthening of irrigation training Institutes for improved water management practices.
