Alaknanda river basin is considered to be tectonically active where damaging earthquakes and landslides have occurred. The whole basin was divided into 8 sub-basins to carry out morphometric analyses, hypsometric integral (HI) analysis and valley floor width to valley height ratio (V <Subscript>f</Subscript>) factor....</subscript>

Glacial hazards relate to hazards associated with glaciers and glacial lakes in high mountain areas and their impacts downstream. The climatic change/variability in recent decades has made considerable impacts on the glacier life cycle in the Himalayan region. As a result, many big glaciers...

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>

The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) watershed model was calibrated and validated for a hilly watershed treated with graded bunding and water-harvesting tank in high rainfall condition of eastern Himalayan range in India. The performance of the model for the treated watershed was...
