Sensitivity analysis of melt runoff due to temperature and precipitation – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 06 Jul, 2010 11:36 PMThe study aims to assess the impacts of various climate scenarios on the hydrological response of the high altitude Spiti river in the Himalayas. The climatic scenarios were constructed on the basis of simulations of the Hamburg coupled atmosphere-ocean climate model for the study region.
Trace analysis of pesticides by gas chromatography – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 06 Jul, 2010 11:23 PMThe report attempts to do a trace analysis of pesticides using gas chromatography technique. Pesticides are bio-accumulative and relatively stable, as well as toxic or carcinogenic, and therefore, require close monitoring. The identification and quantification of pesticides in different water bodies is a very important part of water analysis. The gas chromatography technique is considered appropriate, as most of the pesticides are volatile at the working temperature of gas chromatography. However, a pre-derivatization of a very few pesticides may be required prior to the analysis.

Overland flow modeling for urban catchment considering random roughness coefficient and irregular land surface – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 05 Jul, 2010 11:32 PMIn this study, a two-dimensional overland flow model has been developed considering random roughness coefficients and irregular land surface for the analysis of surface flow component. The one-dimensional Richards equation for subsurface flow component has been used for calculating the infiltration from the pervious area.
Procedure for risk based hydrologic design - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 04 Jul, 2010 10:47 PMThe report presents the status of risk based hydrologic designs that have been reported in literature and based on these, identifies a computational procedure for developing hydrologic design bases for dams and spillways. Some illustrative examples are presented in order to demonstrate the impact of risk based analysis on current design practices.

Rajasthan State Water Policy - State Water Resource Planning Department (2010)
Posted on 03 Jul, 2010 02:21 PMThe Rajasthan State Water Policy 2010, describes the critical status of water in Rajasthan in terms of:
- The growing imbalance between demand and supply of water
- Uncertainty in availability of water
- Inequity in access to water
- Low operational efficiency of water resource development projects
- Depleting groundwater resources and deteriorating quality of water
- High cost of service, low cost recovery and low level of expenditure
- Lack of ownership among stakeholders
The policy has evolved out of the earlier policy documents and intends to function from the new perspective of Integrated Water Resources Management, which is holistic and includes a bottom up approach.
