Section titled “What this guide will cover”A task-by-task action guide for using India-WRIS — India’s national water resources information portal — for practical river work.
Planned content:
- Getting oriented — how the portal is structured; the difference between the map interface, reports, and data downloads.
- Task: Find your river zone — step-by-step: how to navigate to your basin, select your river, and view its extent on the map.
- Task: Read river and water quality layers — how to turn on monitoring station layers, read their status indicators, and understand what the colour codes mean.
- Task: Export a basin report — how to generate and download a summary report for a specific sub-basin or district.
- Task: Find dam and reservoir data — relevant for understanding upstream flow control affecting your stretch.
- Task: Use the telemetry module — how to read real-time flow and level data where available.
- Known limitations — data gaps, update frequencies, and what WRIS does not cover (and where to go instead).
