Air quality, climate data, flood monitoring, and disaster management datasets for Maharashtra.
21 datasets
Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon groundwater depth measurements from monitoring wells across Maharashtra districts by the Central Ground Water Board. Provides in-situ well-level data distinct from satellite-based GRACE measurements. Critical for tracking groundwater depletion trends in drought-prone Marathwada and Vidarbha.
Maharashtra Stations — Continuous ambient air quality monitoring (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, O3, CO) from CAAQMS stations across Maharashtra cities including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad
Maharashtra River Gauges — Real-time and historical water level and discharge data from river gauging stations across Maharashtra's major river basins (Krishna, Godavari, Tapi)
Maharashtra Events — International disaster database recording natural and technological disasters in Maharashtra including floods, droughts, cyclones, and earthquakes since 1900
Maharashtra — Hourly global climate reanalysis data (temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity) at 0.25 degree resolution covering Maharashtra from 1940 to present
Global Biodiversity Information Facility occurrence records for Maharashtra and the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Contains millions of georeferenced species observations from herbaria, museums, citizen science (iNaturalist), and field surveys.
Global High Air Pollutants dataset providing gapless daily PM2.5 concentrations at 1km resolution from 2017-2022 using machine learning and big data. Maharashtra subset enables day-level air quality tracking across every taluka.
Global Flood Awareness System providing river discharge reanalysis (1979-present) and 30-day probabilistic flood forecasts at ~10km resolution. Maharashtra subset covers Krishna, Godavari, Bhima, and Tapi river basins for operational flood early warning.
Satellite gravity measurements from GRACE/GRACE-FO missions providing monthly terrestrial water storage anomalies at ~300km resolution since 2002. Combined with GLDAS soil moisture, yields groundwater depletion maps critical for Maharashtra's water-stressed Marathwada and Vidarbha regions.
Maharashtra Stations — Historical climate normals, rainfall, and temperature data from India Meteorological Department stations across Maharashtra
Gridded simulations of annual maximum flood extent across India (including Maharashtra) from 1901–2020 based on hydrological modelling
Satellite-based near real-time flood inundation extent maps for Maharashtra during monsoon events from ISRO/NRSC
Maps of surface water location and temporal distribution from 1984-2021 derived from Landsat imagery at 30m resolution. Maharashtra subset reveals reservoir levels, river width changes, seasonal wetlands, and water body loss over 37 years.
District and taluka-wise tree plantation data from Maharashtra's reforestation programs including the 10 Crore Plantation initiative. Tracks planted area, species, survival rates, and carbon sequestration potential. Enables monitoring of reforestation commitments.
State-level ambient air and water quality monitoring data, industrial pollution consent data, and environmental compliance reports for Maharashtra
State Disaster Management Authority data on hazard vulnerability, disaster events, and emergency response covering floods, cyclones, earthquakes in Maharashtra
Near real-time active fire detections from MODIS and VIIRS satellites at 375m-1km resolution, updated every 3 hours. Maharashtra subset tracks agricultural stubble burning, forest fires in Western Ghats, and industrial fire incidents.
Global precipitation estimates at 0.1° (~10km) resolution, half-hourly from June 2000 to present. Maharashtra subset enables hyper-local flood prediction, drought monitoring, and agricultural water management across all 36 districts.
Land surface temperature derived from Landsat 8/9 thermal bands at 30m resolution (resampled from 100m). Maharashtra subset enables urban heat island mapping for Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and heat stress analysis across agricultural regions.
India Stations — Historical weather observations (temperature, precipitation, wind) from NOAA's global surface summary of day stations in Maharashtra
Global monthly climate and water balance dataset at ~4km resolution from 1958 to present. Provides temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, vapor pressure deficit, Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), and runoff. Critical for agricultural planning and drought monitoring in Maharashtra.
