    An appropriate real-time hydrometeorological observational network is designed and established for developing a full-scale hazard mitigation modeling system in respect of floods covering 24 rivers with an objective to ...
  • 3-Moderation of Floods and Mitigation of Droughts through Integrated Watershed Management . 
    Sharda, V. N.; Ojasvi, P. R. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2006)
    Frequent occurrence of floods and droughts in the country is a cause of serious concern for the planners, policy makers, hydrologists, conservationists and environmentalists. Spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall ...
  • 4-Agricultural Drought Management in Rainfed Areas of Semi-Arid Regions of South India. 
    Mishra, P. K.; Adhikari, R. N.; Patil, S. L. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2006)
    In the semi-arid regions of South India, droughts are more common and occur either due to failure of South-West or North-East monsoon. Drought impacts on agriculture are managed by taking appropriate preventive measures ...
  • 5-Drought Forecasting Using Standardized Precipitation Index. 
    Desai, V. R.; Mishra, A. K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2006)
    Drought forecasting plays an important role in the planning and management of natural resources including water resource-systems of a river basin, since drought has severe effect when it persists over a longer period ...
  • 6-Drought Indicator and Vulnerability. 
    Nagarajan, R. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2006)
    The perception' of drought varies with people engaged in different fields (e.g. meteorology, water resources, agriculture, socio-economy etc). Indicators of the impending droughts need to evaluated and categorized so that ...

  • 1-Management of South Chennai Coastal Aquifer System - A Multi Objective Approach. 
    Mohan, S.; Pramada, S. K. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2005)
    Many coastal areas in the world are dependent on local fresh groundwater resources because of heavy urbanization. Due to constant pumping and improper management, the South Chennai aquifer is facing a severe threat of being ...
  • 2-Seawater Intrusion Due to Freshwater Draft in Coastal Aquifers. 
    Rao, K. Nageswara; Mahesha, A. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2005)
    Freshwater pumping from coastal aquifers need to be properly planned to avoid aggressive seawater intrusion into freshwater aquifers. A Galerkin finite element model with sharp interface approach is adopted to simulate ...
  • 3-Seawater Intrusion Mapping Using Modified GALDIT Indicator Model - Case Study in Goa. 
    Chachadi, A. G. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2005)
    An indicator-based model is presented to assess and quantify the vulnerability magnitude of coastal aquifers to seawater intrusion due to excessive groundwater withdrawals or possible rise in the sea level. The new method, ...
  • 4-Geophysical Investigations for Groundwater in Coastal Tracts. 
    Chandra, P. C. (National Institute of Hydrology, 2005)
    Surface geophysical. studies and borehole logging have been carried out in the coastal tracts of India with varied objectives. Electrical resistivity measurements, surface as well as borehole, have been the most widely ...
