If you're looking for storm drainage network GIS data for the Noida and Greater Noida areas, there are a couple of promising leads to explore. Here's a breakdown along with actionable steps you can follow:
Where to Look for GIS Storm Drainage Data
1. Online GIS Portals: OneMap for Noida and Greater Noida
Both Noida Authority and GNIDA (Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority) maintain integrated GIS systems—referred to as OneMap—that include utility layers like drainage, water pipelines, sewage, etc.
Noida OneMap: "An integrated & most detailed GIS Map of Noida City for Citizens & Government Departments" (umd.nic.in)
Greater Noida OneMap/GNIDA GIS App: Includes details about drainage, sewerage, water pipelines, electricity lines, and more (ETGovernment.com, GIS Resources)
These platforms may allow you to view, and in some cases download or request, geographic layers.
2. Specific GIS Projects & Infrastructure Studies
NeoGeoInfo Project: This involved digitizing various utility networks for Greater Noida, including the storm water drainage network—captured via web-based GIS for planning and decision-making use (neogeoinfo.com).
GNIDA Stormwater Master Planning: GNIDA has conducted or commissioned studies focused on the stormwater drain network, including feasibility studies, full hydraulics evaluation, and master plan preparation for drainage systems (The Times of India).
Drone and GPS Mapping Initiatives: GNIDA planned to use GPS, LiDAR, and drone-based mapping tools to identify inefficiencies and flood-prone areas in its drainage network (The Times of India, The Economic Times).
What You Can Do
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Engage with Noida Authority & GNIDA | Reach out to their GIS or planning departments with a formal request for storm drainage GIS data. Mention the OneMap platform as context. |
| 2. Explore the OneMap or GNIDA GIS Apps | Check if these platforms have public dashboards, data request forms, or allow layer downloads. Some may require login or specific credentials for access. |
| 3. Reference GIS Projects | Explicitly mention the NeoGeoInfo project and GNIDA's master plan studies to highlight existing work and increase your chances of getting geospatial layers. |
| 4. Consider Official Channels | Use Right to Information (RTI) or official emails/offices of urban planning/GIS departments if needed. |
| 5. GIS Community & Academia | Local research institutions (e.g., Amity Institute, IIT Roorkee) or GIS forums might have useful references or partial datasets. |
Summary
Yes, both Noida and Greater Noida have established GIS systems—like OneMap and the GNIDA GIS app—which likely contain storm drainage network data among other utilities.
GNIDA has conducted GIS-based studies (via NeoGeoInfo and consultancy projects) specifically mapping the storm water drainage network.
The next step is reaching out directly to these authorities and leveraging existing portals or official project references to obtain the data you need.
Would you like help drafting an email or request to send to the Noida Authority or GNIDA seeking access to this data? Let me know—I’d be happy to assist!
