River Basins |
| All important historical civilizations happened to develop along major rivers. Rivers, therefore, tend to have an historical and cultural importance that cannot be paralleled. How do we understand our rivers better so that they continue to play that role for our future generations as well? |
| The state of our rivers in today's time requires that kind of an understanding. We have tried to collect information from various sources to facilitate that kind of an understanding. |

Water Balance Demo |
| On a given portion of land, if more water leaves the area (through evapotranspiration, runoff, pumping etc.) than is added to the land (through rainfall), the net result is a falling water table that will result in a long-term catastrophe. A water-balance is a budgeting exercise that assesses the proportion of rainfall that becomes stream flow, evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge. We have a course to understand the principles and practically construct a water balance. |
