• 1-Making Forecasts of Extreme Rainfall and Managing their Consequences for Flood Forecasting. 

  Collier, Chris G. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  During extreme rainfall events reliance cannot be placed upon local measurements of rainfall or river flow as hydrometric networks may be destroyed. Therefore, forecasting procedures are increasingly dependent upon remote ...
• 2-The Influence of the Land Surface on Hydrometeorology and Ecology - New Advances from Modelling and Satellite Remote Sensing. 

  Hong, Seungbum; Lakshmi, Venkat; Small, Eric E.; Chen, Fei (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  The importance of land surface processes has long been recognized in hydrometeorology and ecology for they play a key role in climate and weather modeling. However their quantification has been challenging due to the complex ...
• 3-Short-Term Rainfall Distribution in Space and Time Conditions in Southern Sweden. 

  Bengtsson, Lars (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)
• 4-A Review of Indian Rainfall. 

  Rakhecha, P. R.; Singh, V. P. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  This paper summarizes a number of studies on Indian rainfall from an applied perspective. The aim is to provide rainfall statistics which can be of use in design and construction of a wide range of water resources development ...
• 5-Condensed Disaggregation Procedure of Rainfall Using Conservation Corrections. 

  Subbaiah, R.; Singh, Shashank (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)
• 6-An Assessment of Spatio-Temporal Representations in the Stochastic Generation of Daily Precipitation Sequences . 

  Mehrotra, R.; Sharma, Ashish (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Many hydrological and agricultural studies require simulation of weather variables that reflect the spatial and temporal dependence observed in point rainfall at multiple locations. This paper assesses three approaches for ...
• 7-On Variability of Wet Season over Major River Basins of India. 

  Singh, Nityanand; Ranade, Ashwini A.; Singh, H. N.; Sontakke, N. A. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Longest possible instrumental area-averaged monthly, seasonal (winter JF, summer MAM, monsoon JJAS and post-monsoon OND) and annual rainfall series have been developed for each of the 11 major river basins and the West ...
• 8-Rainfall Prediction for Musi Reservoir Project Raingauge Station. 

  Nune, Rajesh; Pasupuleti, Srinivas; Kurra, Sunil Raju (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  The primary objective of this study is to develop a time series model to predict the rainfall for Musi Reservoir Rain gauge station for the future years. Water is an important resource for the development of any community ...
• 9-Design Raindepths for 1° x 1° Grid Over the Godavari-Krishna Basins in India. 

  Kulkarni, B. D.; Nandargi, S.; Mulye, S. S. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)
• 10-Assessment of Mean Aerial Precipitation Estimation Methods on Natural Watersheds under Varying Geographic and Topographic Terrains across Canada. 

  Panu, U. S.; Smaglinskie, Darryl; Pereira, Larry (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Estimation of Mean Aerial Precipitation (MAP) is a key component in hydrologic studies. The precipitation amounts at raingauges are used to estimate MAP. Modern estimation techniques of MAP have shifted toward computer ...
• 11-Thiessen—Software for Automatic Estimation of Weighted Average Rainfall. 

  Panigrahy, N.; Jain, Sharad K.; Kumar, Vijay; Bhunya, P. K. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Estimation of average areal rainfall from point measurements is the first most important step in hydrological modelling. The Thiessen polygon method is commonly used for the purpose. This paper presents the development and ...
• 12-Geostatistical Analysis of Extreme Rainfalls of Andhra Pradesh, India. 

  Murthy, B. R. Krishna; Abbaiah, G. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Rainfall is a hydrological phenomenon that varies in magnitude in space as well as in time and requires suitable tools to predict values in space and time. The identification of spatial rainfall pattern is an essential ...
• 13-Prediction of Rainfall in West Bengal for the Next Two Years. 

  Choudhury, J. Pal; Chakrabrty, Kalyan (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  The rainfall plays a major role in agricultural field that generates various agricultural products that generates revenue through marketing not only in Indian market, but also through export in foreign markets. It also ...
• 14-Pore-Scale Analysis Using Mathematical Morphology to Obtain Soil Hydraulics Properties. 

  Chan, T. P.; Govindaraju, Rao S. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Evaluation of the hysteretic drainage and wetting phenomena exhibited by porous media is relevant to many branches of science and engineering. In subsurface hydrology, these processes play a particularly important role in ...
• 15-Evapotranspiration in Hydrological Modeling. 

  Xu, Chong-Yu; Singh, V. P. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Potential evaporation is one of the important inputs to hydrological models and actual evapotranspiration is one of the important output components of hydrological models. In general evapotranspiration provides the second ...
• 16-Comparison of Newly Proposed Copais Approach and Traditional Reference Evapotranspiration Equations in a Small Catchment. 

  Remesan, Renji; Shamim, Muhammad Ali; Han, Dawei (Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2009)

  Reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) is a key influential factor in many agricultural and hydrological projects. Alexandris and Kerkides (2003) and Alexandris et al. (2006) proposed a new empirical formula for hourly ...
