NHP would not only strengthen the existing monitoring systems for water availability, but would also include the monitoring of water use and would put much emphasis on IWRM and real-time monitoring and flow forecasting. There are a total of 47 implementing agencies (IAs) including eight central agencies (MoWR, RD&GR; CWC, CGWB, NIH, CPCB, SoI, NRSC and CWPRS), 37 state-level agencies and two river basin organizations (RBO).
![Aims and Objective of NHP](https://nihroorkee.gov.in/sites/default/files/uploadfiles/vision.png)
The project will cover all major river basins of India and will require strong collaboration and cooperation among central and state levels of government.
The project has four components:
- Water Resources Data Acquisition,
- Water Resources Information Systems,
- Water Resources Operations and Planning, and
- Water Resources Institutional Capacity Enhancement.
These components (and their sub-components) map across the conceptual framework, with Component C spanning the application of systems/tools to generate water information products, and Component D encompassing strengthening of both technical and planning/policy capacity as shown in the figure.
