Development of operation policy for Tawa dam – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study deals with the development of an operation policy for the Tawa dam. It adopts rule-curve based policy for conservation regulation of the dam developed for three levels viz. upper rule level, middle rule level (critical for irrigation) and lower rule level (critical for water supply and upstream use). The generated simulation model developed by the Water Resources System Group at the National Institute of Hydrology is used to simulate the system operation and to refine the rule curves.Read More

Application of Artificial Neural Networks in reservoir operation – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

In the present study, two different Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were developed for Dharoi reservoir, Gujarat, one for flood control operation and another for conservation operation. In recent years, ANNs are increasingly being used to predict water resources variables particularly in the operation of reservoirs, the most important elements of complex water resources systems, constructed for spatial and temporal distribution of water.Read More

Development of a conceptual model for snow, glacier and rainfed catchments - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

In this report, a conceptual model is proposed and described for calculation of streamflow runoff arising from rainfall, snowmelt and glacier melt for the Himalayan basins. The simple structure of the model is designed keeping in view the sparse network, the availability of data and topography of the Himalayan basins. The model is based on the area-elevation characteristics of the watershed and utilizes the relationships describing the temperature lapse rates and orographic precipitation distribution.Read More

Automated mapping of snow cover using IRS-IC data - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study presents automated mapping of snow cover using a new spectral channel of Indian Remote Sensing (IRS-IC) data for the Spiti sub-basin of the Satluj river basin. Snow is an important phase of the hydrological cycle and the estimation of snowmelt runoff in the Himalayan rivers, either seasonal or daily, is of immense use in proper management and use of water resources in the basins.Read More

Flood control regulation of a multi-reservoir system - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The report describes the software, which has been developed for flood control regulation of a system of reservoirs. The reservoirs can be gated or ungated, and the system can have any combination including weirs and diversions. For operation of reservoirs, the scenario has been divided into two categories depending on the reservoir level and inflows - normal operation and emergency operation.

The input data requirements of the software are modest. This software along with previously developed software for conservation operation would provide a complete set of tools to analyze any system configuration for the range of purposes for which reservoirs are commonly built in India.Read More
