This document discusses geospatial data and web portals for integrated water resource management. It introduces Bhuvan, a web portal developed by ISRO to provide Indian earth observation data and services. Bhuvan allows users to explore virtual 2D and 3D models of Earth with value-added capabilities. It has high resolution multi-sensor data, thematic information, weather data, ocean services, and tools for visualization, data download, and crowdsourcing. The document also discusses the India-WRIS portal, which provides a single-window solution for water resource data and information in India to support integrated water resource management. It describes the extensive hydrological and other datasets incorporated in a standardized GIS framework, as well as the

11. A 'Single Window solution’
for comprehensive, authoritative and
consistent data & information of
India's water resources in a
standardized national GIS framework
for IWRM in the country.
 Accurate, adequate and contemporary information on the state of water
resources is must in public domain for involvement in IWRM.
 Increasing public awareness elevates the importance of water information &
enlightened public involvement in water management / decisions
