Uncertainties in downscaled relative humidity for a semi-arid region in India – A paper in Journal of Earth Systems Science
The study investigates the uncertainties in regional scenarios developed for relative humidity due to the choice of emission scenarios. Posted on 05 Aug, 2011 05:42 PM

This paper in Journal of Earth Systems Science deals with uncertainties in downscaled relative humidity for a semi-arid region - Malaprabha basin in India. Researchers and decision-makers who assess the impact of climate change in river basin development, agriculture, hydrology, irrigation management, etc., require future scenarios of relative humidity.

Soil erosion studies for forested watersheds – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
This study attempts to estimate the soil erosion rate in Malaprabha representative basin in Karnataka, by using WEPP model and Universal Soil Loss Equation. Posted on 24 Jul, 2010 10:09 PM

In the present study, an attempt has been made to estimate the soil erosion rate in Malaprabha representative basin by using WEPP model and Universal Soil Loss Equation. Soil erosion and sedimentation are the two important natural processes, which need immediate attention from the scientific community. Two major types of erosion are geological erosion and erosion from human or animal activities.

Computation of water surface profile using HEC river analysis system - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
The study uses HEC-RAS to analyse the water surface profiles of Malaprabha river system upto Khanapur for different combinations of discharges through various reaches of the river system. Posted on 24 Jun, 2010 11:15 PM

The study uses HEC-RAS to analyse the water surface profiles of Malaprabha river system upto Khanapur for different combinations of discharges through various reaches of the river system. The river system is divided into eleven reaches, and forty one cross sections have been measured and interpolated within these reaches.

Discharge values have been assigned for different reaches according to the ratio of contributing area for each reach. The bridge across the river at Khanapur is reproduced in the modeling system to test its capabilities. Various return period floods have been allowed to pass through the river system to compute the individual water surface profiles.

Comprehensive hydrological study of Malaprabha and Ghataprabha representative basins – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
The hydrological study of the Krishna river basin attempts to standardize and develop methodologies for providing solutions for various hydrological problems of the hard rock regions of India. Posted on 21 Jun, 2010 04:26 PM

The hydrological study for the experimental representative basins, Ghataprabha and Malaprabha, of the Krishna river basin attempts to standardize and develop methodologies for providing solutions for understanding and solving various hydrological problems of the hard rock regions of India.

Representative basins are basins, which are selected as representative of a hydrological region within which hydrological similarity is presumed and can be used for intensive investigation of specific problems of the hydrological cycle. This can then take a wide-ranging role representing a broad area to which the data can be transferred. 

Exploring options for sustainable water management in the Malaprabha river basin - Proceeding of the final stakeholder workshop held in November 2008 in Belgaum, Karnataka
The workshop brings together shared understanding of the issues related to land and water management of Malaprabha river basin, concerns and assist in developing strategies at stakeholder levels. Posted on 03 Jun, 2009 03:17 PM

This document deals with the proceeding of the final stakeholder workshop titled “Exploring options for sustainable water management in the Malaprabha River Basin”. The one day workshop was jointly organised by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Environment and Development (CISED) and the Norwegian Institute of Water Research (NIVA) at Belgaum on 5th November 2008.

Use of GIS-based software for hydrological and water allocation modeling - Malaprabha river basin - Karnataka - Technical briefs from the India-PES collaborative project
Tools and methodologies developed by India-PES were tested in Malaprabha river basin, Karnataka, and PES implementation was focussed on participatory irrigation management. Posted on 28 May, 2009 12:28 PM

The India-PES  initiative, was a collaborative effort undertaken on a pilot basis, by CISED and NIVA, for the development of integrated tools and consulting s

Hydrology and water allocation in Malaprabha - comprehensive database and integrated hydro economic model for selected water services in the Malaprabha river basin
The study found that during the dry season extensive irrigation extraction in some zone resulted in drastic reduction in the inflow to Malaprabha reservoir Posted on 28 May, 2009 10:26 AM

 malaprabhaThis study by CISED and NIVA aimed at the development of a comprehensive database on the status of water sector and the development of integrated hydro economic model for selected water services in the study area of the Malaprabha basin. The study focused on exploring the feasibility of Payment for Watershed Services (PWS) to improve the water availability through a detailed analysis of the historic hydrologic data and development of a framework of hydrologic and water allocation model. A hydro-allocation model was developed using the software - ArcView SWAT (AVSWAT) and MIKE-BASIN models.

Integrated river basin modeling framework to support payments for watershed services by Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA)
The report presents a review of the hydrological and water allocation models and an evaluation of their ability to support PES-analysis (payment for environmental services) in Malaprabha river basin Posted on 28 May, 2009 10:07 AM

Integrated Modelling This report by NIVA and CISED has been prepared as part of the India-PES initiative, which was a collaborative effort undertaken on a pilot basis, by CISED and NIVA, for the development of integrated tools and consulting services for Watershed Management and 'Payments for Environmental Services' (PES) in India. Tools and methodologies developed as part of this initiative were tested in the Malaprabha river basin in the state of Karnataka, and the PES implementation was focussed on Participatory Irrigation Management.
