Gujarat Ecology Commission (GEC) has undertaken a State Environmental Action Program (SEAP) with the financial assistance of the World Bank. This project is the first of its kind in India. This project focuses on eight areas, namely Industrial Pollution, Urbanization, Degradation of Land, Hydrological regime, Biodiversity, Coastal and Marine Environment, Wetlands and Energy.
Detailed studies have been carried out by various agencies and Consultants in the above sectors. These reports have a vast database (spatial as well as non-spatial) of environment related information. They identify environmental problems and their causal factors. The reports also contain recommendations on various strategies for prevention and solutions to problems in the eight study areas. Data from a number of studies carried out by GEC over the previous years as well as other sources is available. The vast information thus available is encapsulated as a web based Geographical Information System (GIS) in this site so as to make it available to the Planners, Legislators, Decision makers, Researchers, Eminent scientists, NGOs and others concerned for informed decision making. The information available is provided "as is" for further analyses as well as conclusions in the form of SEAP findings.
