The average distribution of precipitation provides essential input for understanding the hydrological process. The role of complex topography in mountainous basins makes the spatial distribution of precipitation different than the plain areas. Besides the rugged topography, the Himalayan basins...

Flood problems resulting due to heavy rainfall and drainage congestion are being regularly experienced in plain areas of Bihar, India. Due to this problem, power plant located in Koa catchment, Kahalgaon, Bihar, is faces huge loss at the time of flood. In this paper, the flood-affected areas in...

Multi layer back propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) models have been developed to simulate rainfall-runoff process for two sub-basins of Narmada river (India) viz. Banjar up to Hridaynagar and Narmada up to Manot considering three time scales viz. weekly, ten-daily and monthly with...

An analytical solution of the linearized Boussinesq equation is developed to predict the formation of a ground-water mound in an aquifer system in response to localized time-varying recharge. The recharge is applied from a centrally located circular basin. The solution is obtained using an...

An analytical solution is developed to predict spatio-temporal variation of the water table in a 2-D aquifer system which is receiving transient recharge from an overlying basin of rectangular shape. The transient recharge function is approximated by a number of line segments. Application of the...

The paper examines relative performance of six monthly rainfall-runoff models on 12 catchments located in different agro-climate zones of Central India. Study indicates that a water balance type model can reproduce the catchment behaviour in a better manner as compared to a statistical model and...

Optimal use of scarce water resources is the prime objective for water resources development projects in the developing country like India. Optimal releases have been generally expressed as a function of reservoir state variables and hydrologic inputs by a relationship which ultimately allows...

Quantitative understanding and prediction of theprocesses of runoff generation and its transmission to theoutlet represent one of the most basic and challenging areasof hydrology. Traditional techniques for design floodestimation use historical rainfall-runoff data for unithydrograph derivation....

Understanding the dynamic response of phreatic aquifers due to recharge is most important for the proper management of ground-water systems. In this paper an analytical solution is developed to describe the water-table fluctuation in a finite aquifer system due to transient recharge from two...

Among several hydrological models developed over the years, the most widely used technique for estimating direct runoff depth from storm rainfall i.e., the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service’s (SCS) Curve Number (CN) method was adopted in the present...
