In house project of TRAC for Ministry of Panchayat Raj Dept, Government of Telangana.

TRAC has extensively used Remote Sensing Satellite data and GIS techniques in preliminary planning of the project for entire state within a shortest period. The spatial network of the existing Rural Water Supply infrastructure is captured. Using Digital Elevation Model data the elevations of habitations that of surface water source were assessed, Habitations were either connected by gravity pipeline else through pumping pipeline to nearest hillock, from the source. About a total of 18,507 required structures were identified, about 4,430 Km of Main Grid, 44,466 Km of Sub-Grid and 38,506 Km of distribution network was analyzed and extracted. Based on the work of TRAC, estimations were prepared by RWS. Permissions were taken from railway department for identified crossing points of pipeline with Railway line and from the Forest department for the pipeline passing through the forest areas of about 910 acres.
