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 installation not possible as per user
levels
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 store for
databases.
Scalable to user requirement

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.
