1.1.12. Space Based Information Support for Decentralized Planning (SIS-DP)

The concept of decentralized planning at grass-root level is enabled by the 73rd

Constitutional Amendment under Eleventh Schedule (Article-23G). This concept aims at

providing up-to-date and reliable spatial information on various resources themes, along

with the field level attributes. It also lays emphasis on participation of local people as an

important and fundamental component for planning and implementation of various

developmental programmes. For this endeavour, resource data on 1:10,000 scale is

necessary for scientifically depicting village level spatial information. High resolution satellite

imagery from Cartosat-1/2 (PAN) and Resourcesat-1 LISS-IV is considered to be proven

source for generating resources themes on 1:10,000 scale for the entire country in a virtual

seamless manner. This programme on “Spatial Information System for Decentralized

Planning (SIS-DP)” is being taken up in mission mode. State identified departments/centres

are made partners in this mission. Chhattisgarh Council of Science and Technology worked as

nodal agency for execution of this project in the State and this made the Council to carry out


8

data creation and up-dation for the entire state. The data is now available in ISRO’s Geo-

portal – BHUVAN.

1.1.12.2. Technical Support to IWMP Project

Council is providing technical support to Chhattisgarh State Watershed Management

Agency, IWMP project for the mapping requirements of the natural resource status of the

each of the selected watershed. The Deliverables that are generated for each of the IWMP

selected watersheds project include:

Satellite data image map for field survey on 1:10,000 scale

Transformed Cadastral boundaries as provided by SLNA for each selected watershed.

Drainage and Contour at 5 meter interval

Landuse land cover

Slope of watershed

Soil Depth

Soil Texture

Water Resource and Land Resource Management Action Plan

Training and technical support is being provided for the preparation of DPR’s of each of the

watersheds selected under IWMP.

1.1.12.3. Training on Bhuvan portal and Drishti tool

Seven One-day-Training-Programmes for 236 field Staff (WDT, WCDC & PIA) of SLNA, IWMP

on Bhuvan Portal and Sishtri-Dishtri tools of Bhuvan have been conducted by CCOST,

CGSAC.

1.1.13. Updation of Groundwater Prospect Maps under RGNDWM Phase –IV

Under the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM) Project, state wise

ground water prospects maps (seam-less mosaics) were prepared for entire State (covering

202 effective maps) on 1:50,000 scale using Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) series of satellite

data (1C, 1D & Resourcesat). All the maps are available in Bhuvan portal as Bhuvan-Bhu-jal

application sector. The possible ground water sources were delineated for drinking water

potential areas within the radius of 1.5 km covering all habitations. These maps help in

narrowing down the areas for selection of suitable sites for bore well/tube well and

identification of recharge structures. So far 80-85% success rate was conveyed by the line

departments who are involved in ground water resource development.


10

1.1.14. Groundwater Quality Mapping

Mapping of the quality of ground water, particularly, using legacy data is a technically

challenging task. There are many factors that govern the quality of water and its distribution

in space and time. Availability of data pertaining to all the governing parameters is also a

major issue. So far, no attempt is made to create spatial distribution of the ground water

quality in an integrated environment to depict its behaviour in space and time. For the first

time, an attempt is made by NRSC to create such a map on 1:50,000 scale using the available

data under Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM).


11

1.1.15. DGPS Survey using High Resolution Satellite Image

Council has been identified as DGPS survey agency by Mineral Resources Department,

Government of Chhattisgarh. The Survey is carried out to comply with the norms of Bureau

of Mines (IBM) circular no. 2/2010 and as per the requirement of other Development

Departments. The DGPS surveys are carried out:

to assess the present situation (actual possession) of the boundary pillars. The survey

will be carried out by dual frequency DGPS to first transfer the established GCP to

temporary GCP’s within the mining lease area by way of extension from nearest GCP,

through static mode of observation. Subsequent observations on each boundary pillar

of the area will be undertaken taking reference from the temporary GCPS' so

established.

precise geo-coordinate of the pillars in the boundary will be taken for all the pillars of

the boundary area using dual frequency DGPS in Real Time Kinematic (RTK) mode from

the temporary GCP.

then boundary vector in the form of shape file are prepared using the coordinates of

the pillars in geographic lat. /long as well as UTM projection with WGS 84 spheroid and

datum.

The surveyed boundary shape file from DGPS survey, geo-referenced cadastral village

boundary, geo-referenced compartment boundary, geo-referenced mining lease


12

boundary are superimposed on the image using GIS software and the accuracy

analysis work is also carried out. The area is calculated and statistics of mine area are

generated for the concerned planning and development department.
