Delhi Water Inventory

The Delhi Water Inventory has been developed to serve as a centralized compendium of water-related information for the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Its main objective is to compile fragmented datasets scattered across different institutions and present them in a structured, accessible manner. By bringing this information together, the inventory aims to support evidencebased planning, policy-making, and research on water resources in Delhi. The purpose of this document is to serve as a one-stop reference for data on Delhi’s water resources. It covers information on surface water, groundwater, and water quality, along with data on sewerage infrastructure, governance frameworks, and catchment characteristics. 

The compendium is designed for a diverse group of users, including city officials, planners, regulators, researchers, students, decision-makers, and civil society organizations. For government agencies, it provides a ready reference to track progress and ensure compliance with environmental mandates. For researchers and students, it offers a consolidated data source for academic studies and innovation. For the public, it fosters awareness and engagement with Delhi’s water challenges.
