 Hydrological Observation and Flood
Forecasting activities in the west flowing
important rivers.
 Techno-economic appraisal of medium water
resources projects
 Monitoring of major and medium projects
located in Gujarat and western parts of
Maharashtra.
 1. The NTBO is headed by a Chief Engineer reporting
to Member (RM) for administrative and HO &FF
activities and Member (WP & P) for other project
related activities.
2. It has one field circle and two Directorates besides
Superintending Engineer( Coordination ),namely
Hydrological Observation Circle, Gandhinagar,
Monitoring and Appraisal Directorate, Vadodara and
Monitoring Directorate, Gandhinagar.
3. The Superintending Engineer controls the HO and
FF activities undertaken by two Divisions namely
Mahi Division, Gandhinagar and Tapi Division,
Surat.
 Jurisdiction of NTBO extends in the
states of Gujarat, Maharashtra,
Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, besides
in union territory Daman, Dadara and
Nagar Havelly.
 NTBO is involved in the following important water related
activities:
1. Collection, collation and publication of Hydrological, Hydro-
meteorological, Sediment and Water Quality data of the west
flowing rivers in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya
Pradesh and Maharashtra.
2. Operation and modernization of Flood Forecasting systems
on the west flowing rivers in the state of Gujarat, Rajasthan,
Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
3. Monitoring of Irrigation Projects in Gujarat and Western
Maharashtra to ensure speedy implementation and timely
completion.
4. Techno-economic appraisal of Medium Irrigation Projects.
5. Miscellaneous tasks as required by Ministry of Water
Resources and as assigned from time to time by Central
Water Commission, New Delhi.
As a part of hydrological observation activities, CWC
operates a vast network of 878 HO stations country-wide on
various interstate and international rivers for collection of
Gauge, Discharge. Silt and Water Quality data. These data
are stored after analysis in Central Data Bank in addition to
the publication in the form of year books. Hydrological
Observation Circle under NTBO operates 36 HO stations for
gauge & Discharge Data observations located on streams in
Luni, Banas, Sabarmati, Mahi, Narmada, Tapi,
Damanganga, Vaitarna and other west flowing rivers
including those of Saurastra. These include 16 stations
where silt samples are collected and analysed and 21
stations where samples for water quality analysis are
collected and sent for analysis to Divisional Laboratories.

Flood Forecasting activities which were started by CWC in a
small way in 1958 have been expanded with a network having
175 forecasting stations to cover most of the inter-state flood
prone rivers including inflow forecasts for 28 major reservoirs
of the country.

Two Divisions under HO Circle, Gandhinagar of Narmada-Tapi

Basin Organization are issuing level forecasts at 7 stations
namely Gandhinagar, Wanakbori Weir, Surat, Garudeshwar,
Bharuch, Vapi and Daman covering important towns located on
the bank of major interstate rivers besides giving inflow
forecasts for 6 major reservoirs namely Dharoi, Kadana,
Dantiwada, Hathnur, Ukai and Madhuban.
A network of real time data collection is
operated consisting of 7 RG stations, 33 gauge
sites and 25 HO sites (out of 65). High
frequency and very High Frequency Wireless
sets are provided at these stations and in
control rooms established at Sub Divisions,
Divisions and Circle Offices.

NTBO maintains close liaison with local civil

authorities to communicate advance warning for
appropriate mitigation measures.
Monitoring of Irrigation Projects is aimed
towards ensuring achievements of targets and
sorting out various critical issues ranging from
construction, planning,land acquisition, quality
control etc. and also in obtaining required plan
allocations to these projects. Since inception
287 major/medium Projects have been included
under AIBP, out of them 134 projects have been
completed. At present, Monitoring Directorates
under NTBO, Gandhinagar are monitoring Major
and medium projects under AIBP.
GENERAL MONITORING IN GUJARAT AND
GENERAL MONITORING IN MAHARASHTRA
Medium Irrigation projects which involve
the inter-state aspects.
Draft TAC Note is prepared for
consideration of TAC of Planning
Commission for investment clearance.
For the other medium projects, which do
not involve the interstate aspects, a
certificate is issued.
The approved and published data regarding
Water Quality, Sediment, Bed material,
Gauge and Discharge is made available on
request as per the Data dissemination and
pricing policy of River Data Directorate,
Central Water Commission, New Delhi.
 
 Mass Awareness
Conservation of Water Resources and
Preservation of it’s Quality is not possible
without involvement of people in general
and Women and Children in particular.
The Central Water Commission, Gujarat
made a beginning in this direction from
2003 onwards.
 Telemetry system
The MoWR has approved 220 Telemetry Stations to
be installed during XI Plan.
This includes 76 Telemetry Stations for NTBO.
There are 4 types of Sensors: A,B,C,D.
In the XII Plan, the network is to expand up to 2700
telemetry stations.
