This report describes the study of regional flood frequency analysis using peak flood series data of gauging stations of Krishna basin based on at site and regional data combined using the following methods: (a) Index-Flood method (b) PWM based EVI distribution (c) PWM based GEV distribution and (d) PWM based Wakeby distribution.

The report deals with the hydrological aspects of watershed development and describes watershed components and watershed models. It gives an account of the various watershed models in details including data requirement, input, output, various physical processes and governing equation. The suitability of a particular model to Indian condition is also highlighted in the report.

• High cost of service, low cost recovery and low level of expenditure
• Lack of ownership among stakeholders

The policy has evolved out of the earlier policy documents and intends to function from the new perspective of Integrated Water Resources Management, which is holistic and includes a bottom up approach.
