Methodology for water availability computations under different availability scenarios - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The report discusses the water availability computations under different data availability scenarios. Water availability generally refers to the volume of water available from the basin or stream at a particular point over a specified period of time. Volumetric relationship is reflected between rainfall and runoff. Many factors like climatic and basin characteristics affect the water availability of a basin. Time and space distribution of rainfall, its intensity and duration, surface vegetation, soil moisture, soil characteristics, topography and drainage network are some of the important factors.Read More

Background on the Meteorological Datasets

We foresee that this data can be useful in making rainwater harvesting and water balance estimates, in various research areas, climate change adaptation studies and more. We also believe in the democratising effect of having this kind of data freely available to the general public.Read More

Meteorological Datasets

Meteorological data is essential for water resource planning and research. In India, this data is difficult to obtain for the average citizen. In this application, entire datasets for various meteorological indicators from 1901 to 2002, for any part of India, is made available for users, in a simple format.Read More
