This study aims to improve the accuracy of groundwater pollution source identification using concentration measurements from a heuristically designed optimal monitoring network. The designed network is constrained by the maximum number of permissible monitoring locations. The designed monitoring...

In this study, screening of the data has been carried out basedon the discordancy measure (D <Subscript>i</Subscript>) in terms of the L-moments. Homogeneity of the region has been tested using the L-moments based heterogeneity measure, H. For computing the heterogeneity measure H, 500 simulations were carried out...</subscript>

In this study LH-moment proposed by Wang (Water Resour Res 33(12):2841–2848, <CitationRef CitationID="CR14">1997</CitationRef>) has been used for regional flood frequency analysis of the North-Bank region of the river Brahmaputra, India. Three probability distributions i.e. generalized extreme value (GEV), generalized logistic (GLO) and...</citationref>

Based on the non-dimensional approach, this study focuses on developing a model to compute design flood for specific return periods whose parameter estimations are done using the Marquardt algorithm considering peak flood data of 100 Indian catchments. The selected flood data varies for majority...

The development of rainfall runoff relationship for ungauged watersheds using topography, geomorphology and other regional information remains the most active area of research in the field of hydrology. In the developing countries, some thumb rules and very old equations are in practice for...

For estimation of runoff response of an ungauged catchment resulting from a rainfall event, geomorphologicalinstantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) approach is getting popularbecause of its direct application to an ungauged catchment. Itavoids adoption of tedious methods of regionalization of...

False Colour Composites (FCC's) of IRS-1A LISS-II sensor pertaining to the dates 9th April 1989 and 7th December 1989 are used to delineate the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon surface waterlogged areas in a region around Habibpur sub-distributary bounded by Vaishali branch canal and Gandak river in...

<Para ID="Par1">For design of various types of hydraulic structures as well as for taking different flood management measures flood frequency estimates are required. Regional flood frequency analysis is carried out employing L-moments and soft computing techniques viz. artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy...</para>
