Haryana: The Haryana Irrigation Department had taken up repair and maintenance type of works for different rivers, canals and drains during the year 1995. Some of the works were completed on time whereas some could not be completed. While these works were carried out there were heavy floods in Haryana in 1995. The State Government decided to analyse all such works in order to assess the cause of 1995 floods. It is in this context they took the assistance of the National Informatics Centre, Haryana State Unit. Details of each work were entered into the computer and analytical reports based on combination of parameters were generated. The master data comprises of work-wise information on location of work (water service unit, actual location etc); type of work (repair and maintenance, internal clearance, de-silting, de-weeding, jungle clearance, berm cutting, strengthening, checking erosion, renovation, rehabilitation, flood de-watering, construction of drains, construction of studs, ghats, bridges etc); running distances (RDs); estimate details (sanction number, sanction date, estimated amount); date of start; date of completion; percentage of work executed; actual expenditure incurred; liabilities; total cost etc. Different statistical, summary and detailed reports based on above parameters were generated. These reports will form the basis for taking appropriate measures to minimize flood losses in the future. -
