2. PROJECT OVERVIEWPROJECT OVERVIEW
 HP-II PROJECT is being implemented in
Punjab along with other 12 States and 8
Central Agencies since 2006.
 The Cost of Punjab Component is
Rs.46.65 Crores as par last revised cost
of 2013.

nearly 80%.
 Expenditure incurred is about Rs. 33.25
Crores (excluding Land Cost of Rs. 3.62 Crores)
which is about 70% of Project cost.

3. ACHIEVEMENTS
• Installation of Ground Water network for GW data
observation have been completed and in operation.

been completed and in operation.
• Hydro metrological network (Digital Rain Gauges) is
being installed and near completion.
• The works of construction of State Data Center
at SAS Nagar and Sub Divisional Data Centers (3
Nos.) are in progress and nearly 80% work
executed so for.

10. C. Hydro- Meteorological Network
 Under the Project the existing RG in the state are
proposed to be upgraded /replaced and in total 81
RG(11 SRG+70DRG) stations have been proposed.
 Upgrading/ replacement of existing 11 SRG have been
completed.
 Installation 70 No. Digital Rain Gauges is in progress
and likely to be completed shortly. These DRG will
transmit real time data telemetrically to the Central
Office.

12. D. Data Management and Institutional Strengthening
Validation, Processing and storage of observed data of
SW & GW has been taken up.
Section offices, stores in the field have been
constructed and sub-divisional data center offices are
near completion.
The State Data Centre at SAS Nagar is under
construction and is likely to be completed shortly. This
building will house various offices of Water Resources
under one roof along with other facilities such as water
testing, data storage, data transmission etc.
