Hydrological inventory of South Bihar river basins – A report by National Institute of Hydrology

This report by National Institute of Hydrology provides a compilation of the hydrological information of seventeen different river basins of South Bihar (now Jharkhand). Hydrological modeling of a basin requires detailed hydrological information about the basin. Further, the hydrological information of a region or a basin is of immense use to water resources planners and managers. However, the hydrological information collected by different organizations are often scattered and are not in representable form.

The report provides the basin-wise information regarding the location, areal extent, river system, land use pattern, soils, surface and ground water resources, nature of hydrological problem and the location of gauge and discharge sites in each river basin.
