  • Remote sensing applications in water resources development in India 
    Chakraborti, A. K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    Water resources planning is usually based on limited and often inadequate data. Existing hydrologic data base may not be oriented to newly arising water resources development requirements It is intuitive that when ...
  • Isotope hdrology in India 
    Kumar, Bhishm; Singh, B. P. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  • Data storage & retrieval system 
    Chalisgaonkar, Deepa (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    Hydrology is an applied natural science and therefore hydrologist5 have to deal with vast amount of data. Moreover, with the increase in population and industrial activities, water is gradually becoming a scarce commodity ...
  • Surface water analysis and modelling 
    Singh, R. D.; Kumar, Rakesh (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    The hydrological behaviour of catchments is a very complex phenomenon which is controlled by a large number of climatic and physiographic factors that vary in time and space. The basic problem of hydrology ...
  • Flood hydrology 
    Haque, M. E. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    Floods have caused devastations ahi acute human suffering since time immemorial. Efforts to mitigate damages from floods originated from the basic human urge for self-preservation. The losses from the devastations of ...
  • Groundwater and conjuctive use 
    Mishra, G. C.; Singh, Sushil K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  • Hydrology of hard rocks 
    Singhal, B. B. S. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    In hard rocks are included all those geological formations the drillability of which is low and the intergranular porosity is practically absent e.g. igneous and metamorphic rocks as well as limestones, dolomites and highly ...
  • Seepage and drainage 
    Mishra, G. C. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    Canals continue to be major conveyance system for delivering water for irrigation in the alluvial plains of India. But loss of water due to seepage from unlined irrigation canals constitutes a substantial percentage of ...
  • Ground water modelling 
    Kumar, C. P. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    Ground water modelling is a tool that can help analyse many ground water problems. Models are useful for reconnaissance studies preceding field investigations, for interpretive studies following the field programme, ...
  • Agriculture hydrology & drainage 
    Soni, B.; Singh, Ranvir (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    Out of the 329 m ha geographical area of the country, about 140 m ha is only under cultivation. Moreover an area of around 144 m ha is suffering from water and wind erosion and about 29 m ha from special problems of water ...
  • Developments in hydrological drought studies 
    Agarwal, Avinash (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
    The occurrence of drought in India is not a recent phenomenon. The regular monitoring of rainfall in the country started in 1875 with the Indian Meteorological Department. Reliable information documents ...
  • Hydrology of mountainous areas 
    Ramasastri, K. S. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)
