Eco-friendly and sustainable management of water resources is indispensable in coastal and deltaic regions due to their unique nature of hydrological processes and economic significance. Since coastal areas are characterised ...

Hydrologic simulation studies provide a useful and important input to water resources planning and watershed management practices. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS, 1956) Curve Number (SCS-CN) method is a widely used ...

In areas with periodic irrigations or high intensity rainfall, the assumption of a steady recharge is no longer justified. Under these conditions, unsteady state solution of the flow problem must be applied. A knowledge ...

India is a vast country with varying topography, climate, and people of different cultures. Because of exploding population, it faces tough tasks in the rational use of its limited natural resources, i.e., vegetation, soil, ...

Water balance of a lake depends upon the relative importance of various inputs and outputs to and from the lake. Evaporation loss constitutes one of the major output from a lake under Indian ...

In order to assess the predictive significance of the meteorological parameters to forecast the discharge for a high altitude glacierized basin, correlations have been determined between mean daily discharge and precipitation ...

A system of extensive aquifers sandwiched between silty or clayey beds are common in alluvial basins. Such a system is known as multi-aquifer or multi-layered system. Often a river penetrates fully or partially the ...

Artificial recharge ponds/tanks offer ample scope for replenishing dwindling aquifers. In a multilayered aquifer system the recharging may be influenced by hydrogeological aspects such as geology of various layers, ...

Urbanization is defined as the concentration of people in urban settlements and the process of change in land use occupancy resulting from the conversion of rural land into urban, suburban and industrial communities. ...

The pesticides generally occur in water that have been affected by agricultural discharges. Pesticides are bioaccumulative and relatively stable, as well as toxic or carcinogenic, and, therefore, require ...
