• Hydrologic design 

  Seth, S. M. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  Hydrology, is one of the earth sciences which deals with studies of the waters of the earth, their occurrence, circulation and distribution, their chemical and physical properties and their relation to living ...
• Hydrological investigations 

  Gupta, A. A. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  Since independence there is considerable advancement in the field of hydrology, specially in the design of darns, water resources development and planning, hydrological Investigations and research. Every subject on ...
• Hydrometeorological studies 

  Rakhecha, P. R.; Soman, M. K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  Water is a precious resource and plays a vital role in the development of agriculture, industry and power generation. The extent to which this resource is tapped for its manifold uses can well be a clL to the advancement ...
• 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)

  The primary function of hydrology is to provide scientific facts about water in hydrological cycle. This is being done using sophisticated scientific instrumentation and methods for managing water resources under ...
• 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)

  Although the total amount of water on earth is generally assumed to have remained virtually constant, the rapid growth of population, together with the extension of irrigated agriculture and industrial development, is ...
• 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)

  The mountainous regions are sources of water, forest, food, fiber and energy. Nearly 35% of the geographical area in the country is mountainous. Of these nearly 58% is accounted for by the mighty Himalayas extending ...
• High altitude hydrology 

  Singh, Pratap (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  The high altitude hydrology encompasses the studies related to snow and glaciers which are well known prime source of water to the river systems originating from the Himalaya. The spring and summer runoff comprising ...
• Lake hydrology 

  Ghosh, N. C. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  The hydrology of lake is a subject that has not attracted the attention of Indian Hydrologists even upto the 1980's decade. In the International level, the area drew the attention of hydrologists after the symposium held ...
• Water Resources systems 

  Jain, S. K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  The purpose of this chapter is to document the important reported works in the area of water resources systems carried out by Indian scientists and engineers. This paper provides a broad overview of the applications of ...
• Hydrological education and training 

  Seth, S. M. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1992)

  The hydrologic cycle under the driving force of the Sun is a continuous process by which water is transported from the oceans to the sea, It extends across a wide spectrum of space and time scales and through the storage ...
