Activities carried out at District NRDMS Centre

  • The primary objective of District NRDMS Centre under NRDMS Project is to create Extensive database on Spatial Database (Maps) and Non-Spatial Database (Attribute data) of Natural Resources, Socio & agro-economic parameters and Infrastructure facilities of the district after collating from the line departments and other organizations and it is been updating regularly based on nature of availability of data and requirements.

  • Advanced Geospatial Techniques: The Centre employed Drone and LiDAR mapping, IoT-enabled monitoring, and GIS-based encroachment detection for resource management activities in Chitradurga.

  • Water Resource Mapping and Analysis: Prepared Depth to Water Level maps for Pre-Monsoon, Monsoon, and Post-Monsoon 2024. Additionally, they performed flow-affected area analysis for Vani Vilasa Sagara Reservoir, specifically identifying issues like siltation, sand deposition, and stream bank erosion.
