Exploring the spatial associations between census based socioeconomic conditions and remotely sensed environmental metrics in Assam, North East India – A study by Gary R Watmough

Gary R Watmough’s PhD explored the spatial associations between socioeconomic variables like female literacy and employment in the non-agricultural sector derived from a subset of the 2001 Indian National Census and environmental metrics. The study was based on freely available remotely sensed satellite sensor data - Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) in Assam.

Geospatial tools for assessing land degradation in Budgam district of Kashmir Himalaya – A paper in Journal of Earth Systems Science

This paper in Journal of Earth Systems Science deals with the use of geospatial tools for assessing land degradation in Budgam district of Kashmir Himalaya. Land degradation reduces the ability of the land to perform many biophysical and chemical functions. The main aim of this study was to determine the status of land degradation in the study area using remote sensing and geographic information system.

Geo-hydrological studies for augmentation of spring discharge in the Western Himalaya – Final technical report by the MOWR

This study by MOWR on geomorphological and land use/land cover and other anthropogenic influence in the spring recharge zones on spring water quality and water discharge is based on 12 representative springs of the western Himalaya. It is an attempt to understand the effect of rainfall, physiography, lithology, slope and aspect, land use practices, vegetation, altitude, soil type and anthropogenic interference (e.g., road construction and settlement etc.) and other characteristics in the spring recharge zone on the water yield and water quality of the selected springs in the mid-altitudinal belt (lesser Himalaya) in western Himalaya (Uttaranchal).Read More

Analysis of surface and groundwater flow process in Western Ghat of Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study deals with the analysis of surface and groundwater flow process in Dakshina Kannada district in Western Ghats of Karnataka. The area receives over 4000 mm rainfall annually but is still faced with acute shortage of freshwater during summer months. The study attempts to identify the surface and sub-surface flow process through geohydrological and geomorphological investigations in the Sithanadhi and Netravathi basins.Read More

Determination of SCS runoff Curve Number and land use changes for Hamidnagar sub-basin of Punpun basin – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The report deals with determination of SCS runoff Curve Number and land use changes for Hamidnagar sub-basin of Punpun basin. The design of any hydraulic structure calls for the estimation of runoff. The Soil Conservation Services model, developed by USDA, computes direct runoff through an empirical equation that requires the rainfall and watershed coefficient as inputs. The watershed coefficient is called the Curve Number (CN), which represents the runoff potential of the land cover-soil complex.Read More
