About the Initiative

Preserving Valuable Subsurface Information

Groundwater and geophysical surveys generate valuable information about subsurface conditions, aquifers, geological formations, fractures and borewell characteristics.

Much of this information remains distributed across field notebooks, spreadsheets, reports, instrument files and individual project folders. CDCPC is being developed to organise this information into a consistent and searchable catalogue.

The public website will display only safe dataset metadata. Original field data, exact locations and technical files will remain within controlled GGWPI storage.

Initial Catalogue

Dataset Categories Available in the Pilot Phase

CDCPC will initially catalogue two categories based on existing GGWPI field and historical records.

01

Electrical Resistivity Survey Data

Historical and project-based resistivity observations used for groundwater exploration, geological assessment and subsurface interpretation.

Possible records AB/2, MN/2, resistance, apparent resistivity and interpreted layers
Possible formats CSV, Excel, PDF, images and technical reports
Starting price ₹1,000 per approved dataset
Explore Resistivity Data
02

Geophysical Borewell Logging Data

Depth-based geophysical logs and interpreted information from groundwater borewells and scientific logging assignments.

Possible records Resistivity, self-potential, natural gamma and interpreted aquifer zones
Possible formats CSV, Excel, PDF, log images and reports
Starting price ₹2,000 per approved dataset

Data Completeness

Understanding Grades A, B and C

The grade represents how complete the available dataset is. It is not a guarantee of interpretation accuracy or commercial suitability.

A

Comprehensive

Raw observations, location information, interpretation and supporting records are substantially available.

B

Standard

Core survey data and essential project information are available, but some supporting records may be limited.

C

Historical or Reference

Partial, older or reference-only information is available and may require additional technical review.

Controlled Access

How Dataset Access Works

Dataset access is handled manually during the pilot phase to protect confidential information and ensure appropriate use.

01

Explore Metadata

Review dataset type, district, survey date, completeness grade and available file formats.

02

Submit a Request

Provide the dataset ID, organisation details, intended use and required format.

03

GGWPI Review

The request is checked for availability, confidentiality, intended use and commercial terms.

04

Technical Discussion

GGWPI may contact the applicant to clarify requirements, limitations and available files.

05

Manual Delivery

Approved data is shared manually after confirmation of scope, terms and applicable charges.

Long-Term Vision

From Historical Data to Himalayan Monitoring

CDCPC is intended to grow beyond a historical data catalogue. The long-term vision includes permanent monitoring stations, recurring scientific observations and a stronger data foundation for Himalayan research.

Potential future areas include GNSS monitoring, seismic observations, groundwater monitoring, landslide-related measurements and environmental data collection in underserved mountain regions.

Permanent GNSS Stations Long-term crustal movement and deformation data
Seismic Monitoring Localised earthquake and ground-motion observations
Groundwater Monitoring Repeated water-level and aquifer-related observations
Himalayan Research Support Structured data for institutions and researchers

Important Dataset Disclaimer

CDCPC datasets may originate from different periods, instruments, field conditions and project objectives. Historical data should be reviewed for its intended use, completeness and technical limitations. Dataset availability does not guarantee suitability for a new drilling, engineering, regulatory or commercial decision.
