• Theme 5-1-Scenario analysis in water resources systems optimization under uncertainty conditions 

  Sechi, Giovanni M.; Zuddas, Paola (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  In this paper we present a methodology to perform water system optimization under climatic and hydrological uncertainty, in order to reach a sufficient degree of systems reliability to determine the risk of significant ...
• Theme 5-2-Seasonal to interannual hydrologic prediction a case study from Sydney, Australia 

  Sharma, Ashish (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Effective use of available water resources is a serious problem facing the world as it enters the 21st century. An increasing demand and an ever-uncertain supply in the form of precipitation is a cause of concern to water ...
• Theme 5-3-A nonparametric approach for preserving interannualdependence in synthetic flow sequences. 

  Sharma, Ashish; O'Neill, Robert (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  The estimation of risks associated with alternate plans and designs for water resources systems requires generation of synthetic streamflow sequences. The mathematical algorithms used to generate these sequences at monthly ...
• Theme 5-4-Temporal disaggregation of rainfall data using artificial neural networks. 

  Kumar, D. Nagesh; Raju, K. Srinivasa (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Seasonal rainfall in many regions is influenced by global climatic parameters such as El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), La Nina. Seasonal rainfall predictions are based on such Global climatic parameters. However, for ...
• Theme 5-5-Rainfall-runoff relationship model for Amameh watershed in Iran. 

  Sadeghi, S. H. R.; Singh, J. K.; Das, Ghanshyam (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  The Amameh catchment in Iran that covers 3712 ha in area is one of the mountainous sub basins of Jajroud River over which the Latian dam has been constructed. There the mean annual precipitation is 848.4 mm. The mean annual ...
• Theme 5-6-Development of regional flood frequency relationships using L moments for south Bihar. 

  Kumar, Rakesh; Chatterjee, C.; Kumar, Sanjay; Lohani, A. K.; Singh, R. D. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Estimation of magnitudes of likely occurrence of floods is of immense importance for solution of a variety of water resources problems. Whenever, rainfall or river flow records are not available at or near the site of ...
• Theme 5-7-Severity-frequency-duration measures for urban water supply systems. 

  Perera, B. J. C.. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Urban water supply authorities are required to supply water to their customers (both bulk water customers and small users) with a certain level of reliability. Various indicators have been used in the past to measure the ...
• Theme 5-8-Worth of extreme flood events in site specific flood frequency analysis. 

  Parida, B. P. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  To obtain reliable at-site flood quantile estimates from a small sample of observations is a trivial exercise. To over come this problem, attempts to (i) use Probability Weighted Moment (PWM) method of parameter estimation ...
• Theme 5-9-Simulation of soil moisture movement in a forested watershed. 

  Purandara, B. K.; Kumar, C. P. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Prediction of soil moisture retention and movement is very important for irrigation scheduling, crop planning, runoff estimation and drought monitoring. Application of numerical techniques provides estimates for different ...
• Theme 5-10-Stochastic modeling of sediment load of upper Yangtze river (China). 

  Gangyan, Zhou; Goel, N. K.; Bhatt, V. K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Temporal and spatial sediment load characteristics of Yangtze River, which is Asia's longest river, have been examined in this paper. Annual and monthly sediment load characteristics in temporal domain have been modelled. ...
• Theme 5-11-Optimal operation of irrigation reservoirs using stochastic dynamic programming. 

  Ravikumar, V.; Venugopal, K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) is widely used in deriving optimal operating policies for reservoir. Usually inflow is represented in SDP as markovian first order in every time period or independent for every time ...
• Theme 5-12-A simple 5 - parameter conceptual daily rainfall-runoff model. 

  Kumar, S. V. Vijaya; Rao, U. V. N.; Ramasastri, K. S. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  To use sufficiently fine data interval to catch the complete temporal variations of observed flows is impossible and impractical. It is important to see that the number of parameters of the model is not so large that ...
• Theme 5-13-Optimal operation of multiobjective multiple-reservoir system. 

  Verma, M. K.; Shrivastava, R. K.; Narulkar, S. M. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  In the present paper Preemptive Goal Programming (PGP) model has been developed (MRPPGP) and applied to Mahanadi Reservoir Project (MRP) system, situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. The objective of the present ...
• Theme 6-1-Drainage and reuse of effluents for agricultural management (DREAM) - a dream project for developing countries. 

  Magesan, G. N. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  Most of the worlds population live in developing countries where provisions of water and food to the growing population needs to be tackled, before shortage of water and food becomes critical in the near future. DREAM ...
• Theme 6-2-Water and erosion studies in an integrated watershed management project in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas. 

  Merz, Juerg; Hofer, Thomas; Weingartner, Rolf; Dangol, Pradeep M.; Nakarmi, Gopal (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  In certain areas of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas, the economic and ecological situation is approaching the point of no return through gradual degradation of the mountain environment. The natural resources of these areas, in ...
• Theme 6-3-Participatory watershed management - a new paradigm for integrated water resource management. 

  Sikka, A. K.; Samra, J. S. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2000)

  The perspective analysis of land and water availability vis-à-vis their demand suggests the need of harvesting, conserving and managing water in its various forms for sustainable development. The role and importance of ...
