    Wasimi, Saleh A. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    A conceptual hydrometeorological model suitable for use in real-time flood and flash flood forecasting has been developed. The model has three basic components: the rainfall forecasting model, the ...
  • Theme-5-7-Flood forecasting for the lower Indus river. 
    Phien, H. N.; Austriaco, N. C.; Pornprasertsakul, A. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    A statistical approach was used to develop operational models for forecasting 6 hourly discharges at six stations on the Lower Indus River in Pakistan. The general form of the forecasting ...
  • Theme-5-8-Relative performance of regional flood prediction models. 
    Moharram, S. H.; Parida, B. P.; Kapoor, P. N. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    Prediction of extreme hydrologic events, such as, peak flood magnitude for design decision in water resources constitutes a serious problem throughout the world. The accuracy attained is limited ...
  • Theme-6-1-Agricultural meteorologic and hydrologic drought relations. 
    Singh, K. P.; Ramamurthy, G. S. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    Agricultural and hydrologic droughts affect a large segment of the population. Both have their roots,in meteorologic drought. Meteorologic drought occurs when precipitation over a large area is much below average for an ...
  • Theme-6-2-Preliminary analyses of low flow characteristics of ungauged catchments. 
    Nathan, R. J.; Gan, K. C.; Jayasuriya, N.; McMahon, T. A.; O'Neill, I. C. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    The ability to assess the low flow yield of rural catchments is fundamental to the efficient utilisation of Australia's scarce water resources. This paper describes a systems approach concerned with the investigation of ...
  • Theme-6-3-Low flow mini hydro power plants. 
    Manciola, Piergiorgio; Casedei, Stefano (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    This paper is a contribution of a multidisciplinary research and suggests an estimation method of low flows, to individuate the best places of minihydro plants. In fact the low flows of a river ...
  • Theme-6-4-Drought identification using streamflows. 
    Mohan, S.; Rangacharya, N. C. V. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    Water management under drought conditions is a subject of great relevance to our country. In order to manage the drought one needs to know the characteristics of the drought, its duration, areal extent and its ...
  • Theme-6-5-Characteristics of hydroclimatic extremes in West Africa - The lessons from the consequences of the recent climatic and hydroclimatic events. 
    Ojo, O. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
    West Africa has been facing a series of hydroclimatic extremes since late 1960s with their serious consequences on human welfare and nation's economic development. Most parts of West Africa have been subjected ...
  • Theme-7-1-On drought analysis of periodic-stochastic process. 
    Salazar, Pedro Guerrero (National Institute of Hydrology, 1988)
