Abstract:
Hydrology is concerned with the study, understanding and evaluation of all the components of the hydrological cycle, quantitative evaluation of all factors that influence each of these components which requires adequate knowledge of the relevant factors relating to the science of the meteorology, hydraulics, thermodynamics, geology, soil mecranics and plant physiology.
Optimum water resources development would he facilitated by ,i ) evaluation of water stored in the snow pack iii) its relation to the hydrologic balance, evaluation of rate of snow melt, and effect of snow-pack on runoff.
