Integrated Water & Crop Information and Management System (IWCIMS)
IWCIMS is planned to act as a single & integrated Decision Support System for management of water resources & crop planning. The project has been awarded to WAPCOS Ltd. (a PSE under Jal Shakti Ministry) on a turn-key basis and an MOU was signed between WAPCOS Ltd. & NWIC on March 25, 2021.
The project is planned to be implemented in three phases:
1.Pre-Implementation Phase: Feasibility study and preparation of detailed functional requirement, design of IT system, software selection etc.
and selection of Implementing Agency through RFP.
2.Implementation Phase: Development & Implementation of IWCIMS as per pre-feasibility study through System Integration.
3.Post-Implementation Phase: Knowledge transfer and O&M through a selected vendor.
This project consists of the development of 6 modules with 19 sub-modules and a Ground Water Information System.
