Abstract

The prime function and Hydrology is to provide scientific facts about water in hydrological cycle. This is being done using sophisticated scientific instruments and techniques for managing water resources under vary difficult conditions. It is always planned to get the maximum benefit of water resource with minimum harm to the environment. Nuclear hydrology has emerged as an advanced branch of hydrology which provides the solution to many hydrological problems accurately: In general , the various hydrological parameters which play an important role in the hydrological cycle, can be measured by employing suitable nuclear technique. In water resources project planning nuclear techniques should be given due consideration under investigation and measurement component for the study of hydrological parameters related to the project.
