Agartala, May 17 (UNI) To enhance scientific water resource management, Tripura has set up a State Data Centre for Water Resources with state-of-the-art facilities under the PWD department.
The advanced data centre was developed to facilitate comprehensive monitoring and management of groundwater levels, river flow, flood control systems, and overall water resource administration in Tripura.
Inaugurating the Data Centre, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha congratulated the engineers and staff involved in successfully executing this significant project. He said this technology-driven initiative will improve transparency, efficiency, and responsiveness in water resource management and deliver better public services to citizens across the state.
Dr Saha shared that irrigation facilities have already been made available to approximately 1.5 lakh hectares of agricultural land out of nearly 2.55 lakh hectares in the state through their dedicated efforts.
He also lauded the department’s ongoing endeavours in flood control and water management, recognising its critical role in safeguarding both people and farmlands during flood events.
The newly launched State Data Centre is anticipated to be a game-changer for Tripura, significantly bolstering data-driven planning, real-time monitoring, and disaster readiness in the state's water resource sector, CM added.
