Flood estimation by GIS based GIUH approach for Ajay basin up to Sarath gauging site of South Bihar – A research report by the National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 13 Jul, 2010 11:49 PMIn this study, the mathematical model developed at the National Institute of Hydrology for estimation of the Clark model parameters using the geomorphological characteristics of an ungauged basin has been applied for simulation of the direct surface runoff (DSRO) hydrographs of the Ajay basin up to the Sarath gauging site of South Bihar.
Modeling of seawater intrusion – A research report by the National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 13 Jul, 2010 10:48 PMIn this study, a two dimensional numerical model in the vertical plane for simulating miscible transport of saltwater in a coastal aquifer has been developed. In order to simulate the variable density flow, the governing partial differential equation of flow and solute transport has been written in terms of pressure and concentration respectively.

Need for real-time DSS for flood management
Posted on 13 Jul, 2010 01:07 PMFloods are common in most parts of India particularly during the monsoon season. Flood control and mitigation involves flood plain mapping, zoning, insuring and warning systems as floods cannot be avoided. These measures minimize damage and loss in terms of life and property. In this regard real-time data based decision supports systems (DSS) are crucial for effective flood management.
A modified SCS-CN based hydrologic model – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 12 Jul, 2010 09:37 PMThe Soil Conservation Services Curve Number (SCS-CN) method presented in this report has been applied to two large catchments in sub-humid regions of India and its performance evaluated. The variation of the curve number is examined and discussed and a critical evaluation of the employment of the single linear reservoir routing technique and linear regression technique presented.
Hydrological problems in the Kandi belt of Jammu region – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 12 Jul, 2010 09:09 PMThis report is a compilation of the status of natural resources as well as of the hydrological problems & constraints being faced in the Kandi belt of Jammu region of Jammu & Kashmir. Suitable actions and methods are recommended to tackle these problems in the study area.
Status report on hydrology of arid zones of India by the National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 12 Jul, 2010 08:03 PMThis status report on "Hydrology of Arid Regions in India" compiles the scattered information on the subject. It is divided into nearly fourteen categories, covering sections like geology, rainfall, desertification of arid lands, position of groundwater in arid & semi-arid regions and dune landforms.
Bio-drainage – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 12 Jul, 2010 07:32 PMThe report attempts to provide solutions to the twin problems of waterlogging and salinity in the irrigated command area through various drainage or traditional reclamation measures viz controlling the intensity of irrigation, providing drainage system, lining, improving natural drainage, preventing seepage or adopting modern technology for application of water.
