| Title | India's First Digital Twin of the Ganga River Basin |
| Collaborators | IIT Delhi and National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) |
| Objective | Develop a high-precision virtual replica of the Ganga River Basin |
| Scope | Covers entire Ganga basin, including tributaries like Yamuna, Kosi, Ghaghara, Gandak, and Son |
| Technologies Used | Remote sensing, GIS, IoT sensors, satellite data, machine learning, river-flow monitoring |
| Features | Integrates hydrology, pollution loads, river morphology, land use, groundwater interactions, and climate impacts |
| Applications | Real-time pollution monitoring, flood forecasting, disaster scenario prediction, scientific support for Namami Gange interventions (river-cleaning, drain management, wetland conservation, biodiversity assessment), identification of illegal activities like sand mining and encroachments |
| Digital Twin Definition | A virtual, real-time digital replica of a physical system, updated with live data for simulation, prediction, and decision-making |
| Broader Applications | Smart cities, irrigation, transport networks, river management, climate modelling, infrastructure planning |
