    At present the installed capacity of Indian hydropower projects is about 35900 MW, which represents 25% of the total installed capacity of India (1,43,000 MW). The share of hydropower generated in the Himalayan region is ...
  • Datt, Prem; Pooja; Srivastava, P. K.; Negi, P. S. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)
    Melting of seasonal snowpack in mountainous ranges of Indian Himalaya contributes significantly to the rivers flowing in the mountain valley. The melting of snow starts in late winter, i.e., from April onwards and produces ...
  • Negi, P. S.; Sethi, D. N.; Mathur, P. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)
    In the recent past due to global warming and change in climate, the snow fall pattern has changed considerably. The late snow fall, frequent avalanche activity and fast snow melting reduces the frequency of contact time ...
  • Thayyen, Renoj J.; Gergan, J. T.; Dobhal, D. P. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)
    Sediment load in the Himalayan rivers are many fold than the world average. Being the youngest and tectonically active mountains, increased erosion during the monsoon is sited as one the reasons for the higher erosion rate. ...
