The effect of climate change on snow water equivalent, snowmelt runoff, glacier melt runoff and total stream flow and their distribution is examined for the Spiti river. It is a high altitude Himalayan river located in the ...

Estimation of flood magnitudes and their frequencies for planning and design of water resources projects have been engaging attention of the engineers the world over since time immemorial. Whenever, rainfall or river flow ...

Existence of multi-aquifer system are common in a sedimentary basin. A well drawing water from more than one aquifers that have good quality of water, increases the yield of the well and in most of the cases is economical. ...

Describing flood wave propagation in open channel flow with in the frame-work of loop or hysteresis of rating curves has not received much attention though frequent attempts have been made time and again. The presented ...

Rainfall-runoff modelling helps in simulating and forecasting the flow from a catchment, and in determining the inflow series for the ungauged catchments on the basis of records of gauged catchments. Because of the scarcity ...

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 ...
