Isotope hydrology is a field of hydrology that uses isotopic dating to estimate the age and origins of water and its movement within the hydrologic cycle. Water molecules carry unique fingerprints, based in part on differing ...

Climate change poses uncertainties to the supply and management of water resources. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that the global mean surface temperature has increased 0.6 ± 0.2 oC since ...

The ground water quality of District Nainital has been assessed to see the suitability of ground water for drinking and irrigation applications. This is a two part series paper. In an earlier paper, we have examined the ...

Spring water is the main source of water providing life in the mountain region. Spring is the natural sources of ground water. Due to human and industrial activities this ground water is contaminated. This is very serious ...

Soil samples from Ajay river basin has been collected and analyzed for its physical properties (texture and bulk density). The water retention limits of soil at two points (i) field capacity (-33 kPa) and (ii) permanent ...

Many of the major rivers in India originate from the Himalayas. These rivers have significant contribution from snow and ice which makes these rivers perennial. More than 3 billion people are benefitted by the food ...

In the present study, water quality index is worked out to assess the groundwater scenario of Haridwar district, Uttarakhand, India. Data of forty groundwater samples collected from piezometers, dug wells, bore wells are ...

During the last 3 decades, Punjab state has adept a spectacular increase in agricultural production practising rice-wheat cropping system with convinced irrigation facilities, leading the country in achieving food-sufficiency. ...

Groundwater samples (18-54 m depth) from 13 locations were collected and analyzed for major anions and cations. The analyzed hydro-chemical data formed the attribute database to identify hydro-geochemical processes ...

In the present study, an attempt has been made to correlate the isotopic composition of the air moisture samples collected on daily basis by condensation method over a period of five years (2007-11) with the meteorological ...
