  • Thakur, Praveen K.; Garg, Vaibhav; Khalzan, Purevdagva; Aggarwal, S. P. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    In this study Gangotri glacier movement with respect to time as well as changes in the air temperature has been studied using remote sensing and climatic data. The multi-temporal mapping of the snout position using Landsat ...
  • Rathore, D. S.; Chalisgaonkar, Deepa; Kumar, S. R.; Patwary, B. C. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Large tract of the Brahmaputra basin in Assam is prone to floods. The flooding is caused mainly due to breaches in the embankment of the Brahmaputra. In Upper Assam, Dhemaji district is one of the most frequently flooded ...
  • Sadhukhan, Debasis (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    This study is focused on the development of a GIS based river basin model WSDCM (Water Demand and Supply Calculation Model). WDSCM analyzes water demand and supply at sub-basin level and then, by system water balance, ...
  • Kumar, G. Arun; Raju, A. Mariya; Venkatesh, N.; Sandilya, C. V. S.; Reddy, K. Mruthyunjaya (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Integrated watershed management requires a host of inter-related information to be generated and studied in relation to each other. Remote sensing techniques provide valuable and up-to-date information on natural resources. ...
  • Singh, Amanpreet; Panda, S. N.; Kumar, K. S. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Artificial recharge plays a vital role in the sustainable management of scarce groundwater resources. This study proposes a methodology to delineate artificial recharge zones using remote sensing (RS) and geographical ...
  • Rao, G. Prasad; Rao, V. V. R. M. Narayana; Reddy, K. Mruthyunjaya (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Runoff is one of the most important hydrologic variables used in most of the applications of water resources. Reliable prediction of quantity and rate of runoff from land surface into streams / rivers is difficult and time ...
  • Kumar, S. R.; Rathore, D. S. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Water resources management practice deals with occurrences, distribution, movement and properties of water on the earth and their environmental relations. Hydrological processes are quite complex in nature and show wide ...
  • Nema, M. K.; Lohani, A. K. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    A geomorphological instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) is derived from the geomorphological characteristics of Kothuwatari (29.67 km2) watershed, a sub-watershed of upper Damodar Valley, Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, India and ...
  • Datta, P. S. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
  • Arunkumar, R.; Jothiprakash, V. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Hydropower is one of the vital components of reservoir operation, especially in large multi-purpose reservoirs. It is a renewable, economic, non-polluting and environmental friendly source of energy. India is endowed with ...
  • Fathima, T. A.; Jothiprakash, V. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    The significance of treating rainfall as a chaotic system instead of a stochastic system is gaining interest in recent past studies and helps to understand the dynamic behaviour of the processes in a better way. Out of ...
  • Sarkar, Archana; Kumar, Rakesh; Singh, R. D. (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    The magnitude of sediments transported by rivers is a major concern for the water resources planning and management. The methods available for sediment estimation are largely empirical, with sediment rating curves being ...
  • Tyagi, J. V.; Jain, Sanjay K.; Kumar, Rakesh (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Four major basic factors that influence runoff and soil erosion in a watershed are climate, soil properties, topography and land cover characteristics. These factors show large spatial variability across the watershed. The ...
  • Khullar, N. K.; Kothyari, U. C.; Singh, Jaspal (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    For a given hydraulic condition, every channel has a capacity to carry given fine sediment in suspension without their deposition on the bed. This capacity of the channel is termed as limiting capacity of fine sediment ...
  • Kumar, Sudhir; Mishra, Kumkum; Kumar, Bhishm (Indian Association of Hydrologists, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, 2012)
    Independently, the surface water and the groundwater systems have fairly been well understood but the interaction between surface water and groundwater is poorly understood. Improvements in understanding the interaction ...
