Kerala SW

Kerala's surface water management is overseen by the Irrigation Design and Research Board (IDRB), which handles water resource management for the state. A significant project under this agency is the National Hydrology Project (NHP). The NHP aims to enhance the quality and accessibility of water resource information, strengthen water management institutions, and establish a robust hydrologic database. It includes components like water data acquisition, information systems, operational planning, and institutional capacity building. Additionally, Kerala's water resource management is complemented by the Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM), which is involved in surface water modeling, research, and managing river basins​.

These efforts play a vital role in addressing water scarcity, improving irrigation, and supporting the sustainable use of Kerala's surface water resources.
