Influence of fractured zone on seepage from a water body – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 06 Jul, 2010 11:47 PMThe present study is in continuance with the earlier investigations made regarding the seepage from a surface water body in a multilayered aquifer system, wherein the influence of varying dimensions of a fractured-zone in a aquitard on the seepage from a source had been investigated. The objective is to examine the influence of a fractured-zone in a confining aquitard on the seepage from a surface water body. The issues covered include the influence of –
- The location with respect to the source of a fracture in the aquitard
- The position of the fractured aquitard at various depths in the aquifer system on the seepage from the source
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.

Posted on 06 Jul, 2010 12:18 AMThe report presents an original study of Cadmium adsorption based on experimental data. The effect of operating variables, like solution pH, sediment dose, contact time and particle size on the adsorption of cadmium ions on bed sediments of the highly polluted Kali river in western Uttar Pradesh has been studied.
Feasibility study of rainwater harvesting in semi-arid region – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 05 Jul, 2010 11:50 PMThe report gives an account of a feasibility study of rainwater harvesting in semi-arid regions. A review of water harvesting systems is followed by a section wherein numerical solutions for surface flow equations are explained.
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.
