Explanation

The National Water Academy (NWA) is located at Khadakwasla, Pune, in Maharashtra. It functions as a premier national-level training institute under the Central Water Commission (CWC), which is an attached office of the Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti [1]. Established to cater to the training needs of water resources professionals, the NWA is situated on the Sinhagad Road at the Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS) campus in Khadakwasla [4]. The academy conducts numerous training programs annually for officers from central and state governments, academic institutions, and NGOs to enhance expertise in water resource development and management [2]. While other cities like Bhopal house the National Judicial Academy, the NWA's specific technical mandate is tied to its historic location in Pune [3].
