Information Management Systems at IPPAN:
Realizing the importance of reliable data of hydropower sector, IPPAN has taken an initiative step to setup IPPAN information Unit to develop a comprehensive Power Sector Databank of Nepal. The system is aimed to have details of hydropower sector of Nepal . As one of the most important component of this project, the database will be incorporated to GIS system which expected to be very useful tool for project planning. |

IPPAN has already set up a workstation and appointed a GIS consultant and Information Management Officer (IMO) to further develop the project. GIS software, Arc View 3.1 has also been installed with base maps of geographical boundaries, rivers network and road networks of Nepal . More information will be added to the system to locate existing and potential power plants and transmission networks to facilitate future planning. |

The system will be upgraded to higher version - Arc GIS 9 in the near future. Based on different satellite data of biophysical, socioeconomic and infrastructure, any planner/policy maker can make future projections. The hydropower data can be encoded according to the station, settlement, river system or catchments. |
The objective of this project is to conduct research and store data that will provide improved version of information regarding technical, societal, and environmental benefits of hydropower for planning process. |
