The GIS-based ‘Automatic Water Supply System’ for citizens of Cantonment Boards was recently launched.
The module has been developed by the Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geoinformatics under the guidance of the Defence Secretary and Director General of Defence Estates, Delhi.
It is completely automated which provides a facility to its citizen to identify the location of the water supply connection.
It automatically determines the nearest water pipeline.
This GIS system is the first of its kind in the country.
It is based on 'minimum government'.
It supports the concept of 'maximum governance' as there is no manual intervention for clearance or sanction of the water connection.
