What was the primary reason for the Central Water
Commission (CWC) receiving the GEEF Global WaterTech Award for ‘Water Department of the Year’ at the Global Water Tech Summit 2024?Solution
The Central Water Commission (CWC) was awarded the GEEF Global WaterTech Award for 'Water Department of the Year' at the Global Water Tech Summit 2024 primarily due to its comprehensive contributions to the management and advancement of water resources. The award, given by the Global Energy and Environment Foundation (GEEF), recognized CWC's pivotal role in several critical areas: hydro-meteorological data collection, flood forecasting, reservoir storage monitoring, water quality monitoring, coastal area management, and the resolution of inter-state water disputes. These functions are crucial for effective water management and disaster preparedness in India, a country where water issues are central to both its ecology and economy. CWC's efforts in enhancing technological and innovative solutions in these areas, along with new initiatives such as the development of the 'Floodwatch India' mobile app and capacity building in urban hydrology, underscore its commitment to advancing water technology and resource management, justifying its recognition at an international summit focused on innovation, sustainability, and technology in water management.
