Rainfall-runoff modeling using Artificial Neural Network technique for Baitarni river in Orissa – A Research Report by National Institute of Hydrology
The research study attempts to develop a rainfall-runoff model using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique for the Baitarni river in Orissa. Posted on 20 Jul, 2010 07:21 PM

The research study attempts to develop a rainfall-runoff model using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique for the Baitarni river in Orissa. A detailed review of the research work in the area of interest revealed that the approach of neural computations was very effective in developing the required model, due to its various advantages. Accordingly, three candidate models based on ANN architecture were developed for the study area, to represent rainfall-runoff transformation.

Rainfall-runoff modeling in Baitarni river upto Anandpur using HEC-1 model - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
The study applies a hydraulic simulation model, Hydrologic Engineering Centre (HEC-1) to Baitarni river for modelling hourly flows of the river at Anandapur gauging site. Posted on 26 Jun, 2010 11:53 PM

The study applies a hydraulic simulation model, Hydrologic Engineering Centre (HEC-1) to Baitarni river for modeling hourly flows of the river at Anandapur gauging site. HEC-1 model had been developed by US Army Corps of Engineers, for rainfall-runoff modeling. It provides a powerful automatic optimization technique for estimation of some of the parameters. The optimization technique of the model has been utilized in the present study and model parameters have been calibrated and validated for the study area.

Map: Location of water resource projects across river basins in India
This map from the National Institute of Hydrology shows the location of the various water resources projects in each river basin in the country. Posted on 20 Aug, 2009 03:23 PM

The map indicates that across the main 19 river basins of the country, water resource projects with a total live storage of 174 BCM (Billion Cubic Metres) have been completed, 75 BCM are ongoing, and 132 BCM are being planned.

The Baitarani river basin project in Orissa: A civil society initiative to explore options for futuristic resources management in the river basin
The project follows a holistic approach and tries to connect basin stakeholders’ across space and time, thereby addressing their livelihood concerns for present and future, across the basin landscape Posted on 12 Aug, 2009 05:06 PM

Baitarani River Basin Project is a civil society initiative to proactively explore options for futuristic resources management in this river basin. It also attempts to blend concerns for environment with livelihood, goals of local with global development, issues of rights with market and focus of sustainability with equity.

River basins and river basin organisations in South Asia
The research study will help in providing the basis for planning for future strategic interventions in the river basins mentioned in the study, and to encourage similar exercises in other regions Posted on 22 Jul, 2009 03:12 PM

As part of the research study, River Basins and River Basin Organisations in South Asia, done by the Society for Participatory Development Hyderabad, CapNet South Asia (Read More) and Gomukh Environmental Trust for Sustainable Development Pune (Click Here), data about individual river basins has been collected for the river basins in South Asia.
