  • Numerical modelling of ground water flow using MODFLOW 
    Kumar, C. P. (Discovery Publications, 2013)
    Ground water models provide a scientific and predictive tool for determining appropriate solutions to water allocation, surface water – ground water interaction, landscape management or impact of new development scenarios. ...
  • Hydrological Studies Using Isotopes 
    Kumar, C. P. (GLOBEEDU Group, 2013)
    Isotope hydrology is a field of hydrology that uses isotopic dating to estimate the age and origins of water and its movement within the hydrologic cycle. Water molecules carry unique fingerprints, based in part on differing ...
  • Assessment of groundwater potential 
    Kumar, C. P. (Materials and Energy Research Center, 2012)
    Water balance techniques have been extensively used to make quantitative estimates of water resources and the impact of man's activities on the hydrologic cycle. On the basis of the water balance approach, it is possible ...

  • 1-Flood Estimation in India using regional frequency analysis 
    Seth, S. M.; Singh, R. D. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    The use of regional flood frequency approach provides one of the most effective ways for the estimation of design floods at ungauged sites. Many distributions such as Gumbel ...
  • 2-Regional flood frequency approach estimation of flood peaks for Mahi and Sabarmati basin (sub-Zone 3a) 
    Gupta, P. N. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    Knowledge of magnitude of flood related to its problem frequency of recurrence is necessary for rational and economical design of water-way and foundations of bridges and appurtenances. In this Paper ...
  • 3-An alternative statistical regional approach for estimating design flood peak. 
    Thirumalai, S.; Sinha, P. B. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    Regional flood frequency studies are often made following traditional approach viz, a formula for mean annual flood and growth factors for higher return periods based on individual station values. This approach ...
  • 4-Weighted ordinary least square algorithm for batch processing. 
    Khosa, Rakesh (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    A deconvolution algorithm for a linear system with finite memory is developed using exponential weighting. The algorithm is developed with the idea of using it in batch mode. The solution derived is ...
  • 5-A comparative analysis of hydrological and diffusion methods of flood routing. 
    Rangapathy, V.; Karmegam, M.; Sakthivadivel, R.; John, V. K.; Lekha, P. Mathai (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    As a part of the study of flood routing methods as applicable to Indian rivers, an attempt was made to apply the Conventional Muskingum method, the Constant and Variable Parameter Muskingum Cunge ...
  • Climate Change and Its Impact on Groundwater Resources 
    Kumar, C. P. (Research Inventy, 2012)
    Climate change poses uncertainties to the supply and management of water resources. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that the global mean surface temperature has increased 0.6 ± 0.2 oC since ...
  • 6-Development of dimensionless hydrographs from Machhu Dam-II failure using DAMBRK model. 
    Santoshi, M. K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    This paper presents a methodology for the quick estimation of dam break flood wave and its characteristics such as peak flows, peak stages and their respective timings at the dam site and at specified locations ...
  • 7-Design of flood embankments of Katjuri river at Cuttack city. 
    Godbole, M. L. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    Cuttack city in Orissa state is situated between Katjuri and Mahanadi rivers. There was a proposal to extend the protective embankments along these rivers at the western side of the city. The effect ...
  • 8-Problems of flood control. 
    Ganguly, S. S. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    Flood may be defined as a social perception associated with sudden invension of unusually high levels of water resulting in widespread destruction and distress. Floods are caused due to intense ...
  • 9-A case study of unprecedented floods in the Godavari river during August 1986. 
    Pandharinath, N. (National Institute of Hydrology, 1987)
    Unprecedented historical floods were recorded in the lower reaches of the Godavari River during 13-20 August 1986. According to available records since 1881, the highest gauge level was recorded at ...
