Brief on National Water Resources Database
Water Resources Planning Organization has developed National Water Resources Database (NWRD) to meet the demand for consistent and corrected data and information of the planners, researchers and managers related to water sector. As a part of the mandated functions, WARPO maintain, update and disseminate the NWRD continuously. The NWRD has become the largest geo-spatial database in the country, which holds spatial, temporal and attribute information. The data contained in NWRD have been collected from a wide range of sources and agencies. Besides, data are also captured from satellite images, aerial photographs and hardcopy maps. NWRD holds more than 400 data layers, out of which 125 layers are spatial data. National Water Resources Database is a systematic database, and is established as a national and regional level data provider. Data in the NWRD are organized in several main groups which are: Base data, Surface water, Groundwater, Soil and Agriculture, Fisheries, Forest, Socio-economic, Meteorological, Environment and Images. A web enabled meta-database has been created to browse through Internet/Intranet. A complete data list of NWRD is available at www.warpo.gov.bd
