Seven tools, one river system

Each reads from the same source — the Department's daily gauge registers, channel directories and line plans — so a figure on one is the same figure on all.

01
Live dashboard

Sindh Water Distribution Dashboard

Daily water account tracker for Sindh's barrage network — Guddu, Sukkur and Kotri. Tracks inflows, outflows, diversions and accord compliance in real time.

  • Daily barrage discharge and diversion data
  • Accord 1991 compliance tracking
  • Kharif & Rabi season summaries
  • Exportable water account reports
Open dashboard
02
Satellite monitoring

Kotri Bund Risk Monitor

Google Earth Engine–powered satellite monitoring for flood and embankment risk along the Kotri Barrage zone, using live remote sensing data.

  • Satellite imagery analysis (Sentinel / Landsat)
  • Flood inundation mapping
  • Bund vulnerability assessment
  • Temporal change detection
Open risk monitor
03
Daily planning

Daily Regulation Plan

Projects how Indus water should be regulated across Sindh's barrages — Taunsa → Guddu → Sukkur → Kotri — under the Accord and the Department's withdrawal decisions, then compares it against the actual gauges.

  • Accord-based projection vs actual at every barrage
  • Upstream routing from Taunsa with measured losses & lags
  • Withdrawal-policy (% of Accord) what-if control
  • Flood-stage warnings & days-ahead horizon

04
3-D digital twin

Kotri Barrage Digital Twin

A live three-dimensional simulation of the entire Kotri Barrage — all 44 gates, both bank canals and the navigation lock — driven by a hydraulic engine calibrated on the Department's own gauge registers.

  • Photo-detailed 3-D model of the full 2,984 ft barrage
  • Replay of two years of daily gauge-register operations
  • Calibrated gate hydraulics, pond & tailwater response
  • Per-canal Accord 1991 share comparison
Open barrage twin
05
Document library

Sindh Irrigation e-Library

The Department's line plans, channel directories, O&M manuals and scheme reports, indexed against the whole irrigation network and searchable by text, division or channel.

  • 380 documents, 52,344 pages — every page searchable
  • Full-text search with page-level citations
  • 1,325 channels indexed across 5 regions and 34 divisions
  • Scanned manuals recovered by OCR

AI assistant

SALAR

An irrigation expert you can simply ask. SALAR reads the registers, statements, manuals and line plans behind Sindh's canal network and answers in plain words — with every figure cited to the document and page it came from.

  • Any of 1,300 channels — discharge, command area, parentage
  • Accord 1991 compliance and the daily water account
  • Reads scanned drawings and tables, not just typed text
  • Ask by voice in English or Urdu; pay only for what you use

Live map

SALAR Navigate

Find & reach. Sindh's canal network drawn on the ground it waters — every main canal, branch, distributary, minor and drain, joined to the Department's channel register and to the day's water account at the barrages.

  • 38,573 km of network across 3,779 drawn lines
  • Any channel's register row — discharge, area, outlets, parentage
  • The water account at every barrage since June 2025
  • Turn-by-turn driving directions, read aloud

Meet SALAR

Ask it the way you'd ask a colleague

Behind every figure on this platform sits a scanned register, a line plan or an O&M manual. SALAR has read them — and answers with the number and the page it came from.

  • Any of 1,300 channels — discharge, command area, parentage
  • Every answer cited to its document and page
  • Ask by voice, in English or Urdu

Who we are

Field practice, written down as software

The Blue Syndicate is a water data intelligence initiative serving Sindh's irrigation sector. We build tools that turn raw barrage and canal data into clear, actionable information for engineers, planners and administrators.

Our three-person team combines decades of on-ground irrigation experience, specialist expertise in water resources engineering and irrigation governance, and modern data science — bridging field practice and data to give decision-makers tools that are both technically rigorous and practically useful.

“United by Purpose. Driven by Flow.”
