Abstract:
Various investigators have performed field investigations in India and abroad to ascertain the effects of various landuses on infiltration. However, such result for Mussoorie region is almost non-existent. The present investigation deals with infiltration characteristics of forested watershed which plays a significant role in hydrological studies and simulation of flow process. This paper presents the first hand information related to infiltration characteristic for two micro watersheds of mussoorie region. An attempt has been made to model the infiltration behaviour of these watersheds using Kostiakov model.
