JALDOOT App

The Union Rural Development Ministry recently launched a mobile application that will enable gram rojgar sahayaks to measure the water level of selected wells twice a year — before and after the monsoon.

About JALDOOT App:

• Developed by: JALDOOT app has been jointly developed by Ministry of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj.
• This app will be used across the country to capture the water level of selected 2-3 wells in a village.
• Manual monitoring of water levels in open wells will be measured twice in a year, from 1st May to 31st May as pre-monsoon water level and from 1st October to 31st October for post-monsoon level for the same well.
• Jaldoots, that is, officers assigned to measure the water levels, should also upload the geo-tagged photographs through the app on every occasion of measurement.
• This Mobile app will work in both online and offline mode.
• So water level can be captured even without internet connectivity and captured date will be stored in mobile and when mobile comes in the connectivity area, data will synchronize with the central server. 
• The regular data to be input by the Jaldoots would be integrated with the database of National Water Informatics Centre (NWIC), which can be utilised for analysis and display of various useful reports for the benefit of various stakeholders.
• Water level report, Monsoon Report and Registered user report are available at JALDOOT web portal.
