Study of impact of wet and dry spells in rainfall records on the water availability estimates – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 07 Jul, 2010 07:38 PMThe report examines the effect of periodicity in the rainfall records on the water availability of Damanganga basin in Nasik and Thane districts of Maharashtra. Based on the rainfall-runoff record of a shorter period, runoff series for a longer period is developed using a water balance model. The per cent deviation in water availability estimations computed using short term wet and dry records from the complete records is examined. The effect of length of time-series on the water availability estimates is also studied.
