About this project
The Tripura Forest Department constructs a large number of check dams as part of Soil and Moisture Conservation efforts through funding from various projects including the Japanese funded Tripura SCATFORM Project. A large number of check dams have been constructed through out the years but due to lack of GIS based data collection there is absence of spatial awareness. This deficiency also results in poor utilization of the waterbodies for income generation activities. So in order to generate spatial information of location of check dams, their management and utilization for fisheries it was decided to develop a web/mobile application for streamlining information collection for monitoring project progress and evaluating outcomes.
