Snow is an important phase of the hydrological cycle and is of much importance in India because of the presence of mighty snow clad Himalayas. Some of the great rivers of India, like Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra originate ...

The introduction of metallic pollutants into a river, whether it is natural (erosion of its drainage basin) or artificial (anthropogenic), can occur in dissolved or particulate form. Depending on ...

Stream flow in the rivers originating from the Himalayas comprises of the contribution from rain, snow and glaciers. A substantial contribution is derived from snow and glaciers into these rivers. Each component of streamflow ...

Estimation of recharge to groundwater is crucial to better water resources management, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. In general, it is difficult to estimate recharge to groundwater due to rainfall ...

A common practice in modelling of water quality of a river is to assume immediate cross sectional mixing and to neglect longitudinal dispersion; for example, the derivation of the ...

The information regarding pollutant transport in the subsurface environment is vital requirement for successful ground water management. The various aspects regarding the contaminants are whether it move with ...

The term low flow is broadly used to describe stream flows that are significantly below average or normal flow levels. Reliable estimation of low stream flows is necessary to investigate ...

An attempt was made to understand the hydrologic response of two micro watersheds in the dry Sivaliks of Himalayas near Jammu, using data of rainfall and runoff of a few storm events during the monsoon ...

The St. Venant's equations still represent the state-of-the-art for simulating the transient flow in open channels and hence forms the basis of our understanding on the channel flow behaviour. Ponce and Simons(1977) first ...

Evaporation of water from soil surface causes loss of water and is also responsible for salinizing the top layers of the soil. The danger of soil salinization becomes more acute in regions ...
