For India's Dams & Reservoirs

Six thousand dams.
One radar platform.

DRIP-aligned monitoring for India's ageing dam inventory. Continuous sub-millimeter deformation mapping across crest, upstream face, downstream face and abutments - without installing a single prism.

Why Radar

The only sensor that
sees an entire dam at once.

Legacy dam monitoring relies on a patchwork of survey prisms, pendulums, piezometers and manual inspections. GbSAR provides a remote, dense, always-on layer that complements every one of them.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Crest & face

Hundreds of thousands of virtual measurement points across the entire dam face without drilling, bolting, or pausing operations.

๐Ÿชจ

Abutments & hill slopes

Early detection of hill-slope movement around abutments - historically a major source of overtopping and breach risk.

๐ŸŒŠ

Downstream toe

Seepage-driven settlement and heave at the toe surfaces in the interferogram before any surface symptom is visible.

๐Ÿงญ

Post-seismic response

Rapid re-baselining after seismic events to quantify residual deformation and inform spillway operation decisions.

๐Ÿ“Š

Integration with DHARMA

Feeds into CWC's Dam Health and Rehabilitation Monitoring Application for regulatory compliance and benchmarking.

๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ

Complements satellite InSAR

Ground radar scans multiple times per hour - satellite passes are every 6-12 days. Together they give seasonal + live coverage.

Regulatory Framework

DSA 2021.
DRIP II & III.
CWC DHARMA.

The Dam Safety Act of 2021 and the World-Bank-assisted DRIP program have collectively mandated instrumented monitoring on India's large-dam portfolio. BharatSensing is positioned as the indigenous, scaled radar supplier for this decade-long rollout.

Deployment

From handshake to live monitoring -
fast.

Baseline

Coordination with WRD, line-of-sight study, foundation prep for the radar station.

Install

SuryaGbSAR anchored on a downstream viewpoint. Power, comms and SCADA handshake completed quickly.

Calibrate

Reference baseline captured; atmospheric models tuned for the valley and reservoir micro-climate.

Operate

Continuous monitoring plus monthly DHARMA-compatible reporting begins.
