"The Punjab Surface Water Agency is primarily managed under the Punjab Water Resources Department, which coordinates with various state entities, including the Punjab Water Regulation and Development Authority (PWRDA). This authority, established under the Punjab Water Resources (Management and Regulation) Act, 2020, works to regulate and develop the state’s water resources, with a focus on sustainable management and equitable distribution. The department is responsible for monitoring, collecting data, and ensuring efficient use of both surface water and groundwater.

For surface water, key activities include maintaining a network of hydrological and hydro-meteorological data, managing discharge observation sites, and upgradation of infrastructure. The state has modernized 25 gauge sites for more accurate flow measurement in rivers, a part of broader water resource data collection and analysis efforts aimed at improving water management for long-term sustainability"
