On behalf of the World Bank, Johan Grijsen, the team leader who ran the HP1 from 1996 till 2003, is in India and paid visit to the Surface Water and Groundwater departments of Andra Pradesh. The reason for the visit was the progress Andra Pradesh has made with the DSS.
Crucially, the advancement made by Andra Pradesh can be attributed not only to the eagerness of the departments to use all tools at their disposal, but also to the demand of the Secretary for DSS outputs. High level interest naturally helps motivating everybody involved.
So, to drive the application of the DSS further, following a week long elaborate discussions and field visits, it is proposed that the departments, together with Johan, will work out a plan to specifically focus on the employment of the DSS for conjunctive use and drought management.
