BRIEFING ON THE ACTIVITIES OF CWPRS (1916-2016*) 100 years of service through research Central Water and Power Research Station, Pune
BACKGROUND OF CWPRS CWPRS as a subordinate organization of Union Ministry of Water Resources is mainly engaged in applied research in hydraulics and allied areas. The research activities are mainly based on conducting physical and mathematical model studies supplemented with field and laboratory experiments. CWPRS receive references mainly from Central/ State Govt. organizations, Municipal Corporations, Ports, Public/ Private Sector undertakings, etc. UN Recognized Regional Laboratory for ESCAP since 1971. Also takes problems from neighbouring countries.
MAIN FUNCTIONS Applied research supported by necessary basic research leading to safe and cost effective designs of projects dealing with water resources, river engineering, power and coastal developments. Offering advisory services to various ministries and departments within the sphere of its activities by participation in Experts’ Committees. Disseminating research findings amongst hydraulic research fraternity by way of publications and training programmes. Evolving and updating standards (ISO & BIS) and advising the apex regulatory agencies to ascertain compliance to required stipulations.
