The 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.

The report deals with the hydrological aspects of watershed development and describes watershed components and watershed models. It gives an account of the various watershed models in details including data requirement, input, output, various physical processes and governing equation. The suitability of a particular model to Indian condition is also highlighted in the report.

Rajasthan State Water Policy - State Water Resource Planning Department (2010)
The Rajasthan State Water Policy 2010, describes the critical status of water in the state in terms of the mismatch between demand and supply.

The 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.

Optimal operation of groundwater skimming wells A study of 90 wells along the river Yamuna at Palla,North Delhi
This report examines the problem involving the pumping of groundwater from a group of 90 existing wells along the banks of the Yamuna River, northwest of Delhi (India), underlain with geologically occurring saline water.

Abstract
A study of saline freshwater interface phenomenon in the Mahanadi delta region, Orissa
The subsurface aquifer systems in Mahanadi delta region in Orissa (India) is largely characterized by two groups of freshwater aquifer systems: 1. The south western Mahanadi delta region is represented by unconfined to semi-confined freshwater aquifers underlained by brackish/ saline aquifer systems with a diffusion boundary 2. The north eastern parts of Mahanadi delta is represented by deep freshwater confined aquifers overlained by brackish/saline water aquifers with aquitard/ aquiclude boundary. Both the systems are prone to saline water mixing/ migration with time and development. The present paper incorporates results of a simulation study using a finite element based FEFLOW model and examines saline water migration scenarios when subjected to increasing rates of pumping under steady state conditions with the help of a calibrated groundwater model. The results indicate the unconfined and semi-confined aquifer systems in the south western part of Mahanadi delta are prone for faster rates of saline water mixing of the contamination when compared to the deep confined systems in the north eastern parts of Mahanadi delta.

ABSTRACT
Orissa, the first state to draft the Climate Action Plan
Orissa is he first state to draft a Climate Change Action Plan following the National Acton Plan of India which began in 2008. It has covered major 11 sectors and after having consultation with various stakeholders in the state came out with the plan. This article takes a deeper look at the plan and highlights dome of the key factors of the plan as well as areas of concern.

Orissa becomes the first state in the country to have earned the distinction of having action plan on climate change. Following the National Action Plan of India started in 2008 the document of Orissa provides the action for the period of 2010-2015 having a budget of 17,000 crore.
Groundwater management: The critical issue dealing with normative concerns of equity and sustainability in watershed development in India.
Right to water is closely linked to ownership of land in India and the person who owns the piece of land has have a full ownership right to use as well as exploit groundwater under his piece of land, as well as from neighbouring land. Due to this unfair rule, landless and resource poor are thrown out from various benefits of the groundwater which are generated through watershed development and water conservation projects.
