For a Detailed Survey of the Water Grid, the Telangana Government Will Utilise Light Detection and Ranging (LIDER) Technology
The Telangana government is all set to use the latest technology for the proposed Water Grid programme.
For a detailed survey of the Water Grid, the government will utilise light detection and ranging (LIDER) technology. Lightweight flights will be used for aerial survey. The technology used for the aerial survey will be photo geo-metric. So that the route mapping could be done speedily and also 3D pipeline mapping and geographical information system data base could be created.
The government will also use hydraulic modelling software for determining the size of the water pipelines, pumping capacity and height of water pumping. Besides this, software like surge analysis and smart flow would be used to resolve any problems in distribution of water. Water pressure could be maintained in the pipelines with these two softwares, Panchayat Raj Minister KT Rama Rao said on Tuesday.
The entire Water Grid project works could be monitored by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao from his office in Secretariat through System Control and Data Access (SCDA) technology.
According to Rama Rao, Chief Minister Rao is taking extra care to take up and complete Water Grid programme and the works would be given only to firms having international standards. Turnkey system would be followed in executing the Water Grid programme. In this, the contracting companies would take all the responsibility right from work execution to maintenance of the project. A decision on turnkey system would be taken by the State government very soon, the CMO said. Water Grid would be a "Smart Water Grid" in all aspects, the Minister stated.
The Chief Minister will conduct a meeting in Siddipet on Wednesday with officials and Ministers to explain his success in Manair water scheme.
