Flood hazard zonation of Assam – An atlas by National Remote Sensing Centre

This flood hazard atlas for the State of Assam prepared by the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) is based on an analysis of ten years of multi-temporal satellite datasets acquired during the flood seasons of 1998-2007.

Assam represents a highly flood-prone region characterized by severe hazards of floods. Although occurrence of flood has been an age-old phenomenon in the riverine areas of this region, the extent of damage caused by floods has increased significantly in recent years.

Infiltration studies in Sher-Umar river doab in Narmada basin – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The report presents infiltration studies of the year 1996-97 for the Bargi Left Bank Canal Command area of Narsinghpur district of Madhya Pradesh. Infiltration studies are mainly addressed to a variety of applications for managing water resources. The design of methods for estimation of flood mitigation and erosion control is often based on estimates of peak discharge derived from prediction of infiltration rate. Water conservation procedures require computation of cumulative infiltration to produce estimates of runoff yield.      Read More
