The coverage of existing states under the project is to help these agencies from moving over from development of HIS (as in HP-I) towards use of HIS in water resources planning and management. The PDO will be achieved by : (a) strengthening the capacity of hydrology departments (surface and groundwater) to develop and sustain the use of the HIS for hydrological designs and decision tools thus creating enabling environment for improved integrated water resources planning and management; (b) improving the capabilities of implementing agencies at State/Central level in using HIS for efficient water resource planning and management reducing vulnerability floods and droughts and thereby meeting the country's poverty reduction objectives; (c) establishing and enhancing user - friendly, demand responsive and easy accessible HIS to improve shared vision and transparency of HIS between all users; and (d) improving access to the HIS by public agencies, civil society organization and the private sector through awareness building supporting outreach services. Greater use of an improved HIS is expected to have a broad but definite impact on the planning and design of water resources schemes, from which the rural and urban poor will have secure and sustainable access to water for multi - purpose livelihood uses. The conceptual framework of outcome and output indicators is outlined below. Specific measurable indicators will be developed by the project's Management Consultants in consultation with the participating agencies, during the design of the project monitoring system.

The objectives of the mission were to: (i) review the overall performance of the project, including the progress with the annual work plans for each Implementing Agency (IA); and (ii) finalize the work program for the proposed extension period. Since the last mission, good progress has been observed on a number of items. First, 8 real-time data acquisition systems (for both hydrology and climate) are near the final stages of procurement (with those systems for BBMB and Maharashtra being installed). Second, the decision support systems models for each of the nine states are in the final customization stages. This work is now demonstrating their usefulness to a wide set of stakeholders (including the State Secretaries in some cases). Third, most purpose driven studies (PDS) will be completed in the next few months. The findings from these are of great interest to many water managers. Finally, all IAs report continued successful training and capacity building. Due to this, the implementation progress (IP) rating has been upgraded from Moderately Unsatisfactory to Moderately Satisfactory. Achieving the Project Development Objective (PDO) remains also likely and so this rating is maintained at Moderately Satisfactory. The strongest performers include Karnataka (Surface Water), Andhra Pradesh (Ground Water), Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra (SW), and Goa. These IAs have strong management support and are effective in implementing the work program. The IAs that require close monitoring include CGWB, BBMB, CPCB, Kerala (SW and GW), Orissa (SW and GW), Chhattisgarh (SW and GW), and Madhya Pradesh (SW and GW). These IAs continue to need focused technical support to ensure that the remaining work program is completed according to the agreed time lines. All agencies require more effort in ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of the knowledge and data being generated through the Hydrology Project investments.
