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
