Recent technical literature relevant for the Hydrologists of the country – A compilation by the National Institute of Hydrology

The report is a compilation of abstracts of hydrological literature from select national and international Journals for the period 1991-95. Though a sizeable number of Journals are published in the field of hydrology and water resources, scientists involved in different studies and projects find it difficult to go through all of them.Read More

Long term hydrologic simulation using SCS-CN method - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The report uses the Soil Conservation Services (SCS, 1956), Curve Number (SCS-CN) method, a widely used event based rainfall-runoff method for simulating daily rainfall-runoff data of three catchments, viz., Ramganga and Hemavathi catchments of the sub-humid regions and Sabarmati catchment of the arid region of India.

In the model formulation, the daily variation of parameter, potential maximum retention is governed by the known antecedent moisture condition. Hydrologic simulation studies provide a useful and important input to water resources planning and watershed management practices.Read More

Geomorphology and soil erosion in Juni Nadi watershed - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study estimates geomorphological parameters and soil loss using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) techniques for the Juni nadi watershed in Jammu Siwaliks with the idea of helping planners develop soil conservation strategies. Geomorphological characteristics of a river basin shape runoff processes and the occurrence of floods especially in the mountainous areas. In ungauged catchments with limited data, such as Juni nadi watershed, these parameters can be useful in understanding the hydrological characteristics. Reliable estimates of soil loss too can be useful in formulating watershed strategies to reduce soil loss to acceptable levels.  Read More

Effect of forest cover changes on sediment yield of Upper Indravati reservoir catchment - Orissa: A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study uses remote sensing data to develop a land use classification and applies statistical methods appropriate for Indian catchments to estimate the annual sediment load from the Upper Indravati catchment in Orissa for the year 2000. The study points to the fact that assessment of reservoir catchment regions at regular intervals would enhance the understanding of the geodynamic processes and help in identifying effective control measures.Read More

Hydrological aspects of rainwater harvesting in the Kandi belt of Jammu region - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study discusses the hydrological aspects of rainwater harvesting in the Kandi belt in the foothill zone of Siwalik in Jammu region with the help of a case study on water availability in a pond in village Badhori (Samba district, Jammu). It describes the climate, soils, geology, geomorphology and drainage of the Kandi belt. It is marked with small watersheds having low denuded hills and undulating cultivated lands that need to be developed on a watershed basis through engineering and non-engineering measures of rainwater harvesting and soil conservation.Read More

Uttaranchal Decentralised Watershed Development Project (1999 – 2005)

The Uttranchal Decentralised Watershed Development Project was being implemented (1999 – 2005) with World Bank assistance in the State. In Uttaranchal for enhancing productivity and provide food security to these rainfed areas, comprehensive watershed development approach to conserve soil and water resources and improve the dry land crops is one of the most viable solution. Under the Uttranchal Decentralised Watershed Development Project 0.04 mha area has been treated. This has resulted in an increase in agriculture, floriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, increase in irrigation through water harvesting structures, tank, and minor irrigation. Read More
