Impacts of Low Flows on the Alluvial Rivers of the Southwest Region of Bangladesh
The Ganges River, which flows out of China through Nepal and India and finally into Bangladesh, has been subjected to continuous scrutiny as conflicts regarding the diversion of water...
Non Contact, Remote Sensing of Buried Water Pipeline Leaks Using Infrared Thermography
Subsurface water pipelines, sewer and buried utilities throughout America and the rest of the world range in age from hundreds of years old to brand new. They all have, however, one fact...
Evolution and Dynamics of the Chilka Lake
The Chilka Lake, the largest coastal lagoon in Asia, has occupied a possible tectonic depression along the east coast of India. Although the open sea coast was along the western margin...
Holocene Evolution of Deltas on the East Coast of India
Disposition of beach ridges vis-a-vis paleo river courses has helped in recognizing several abandoned delta lobes and reconstructing the stages in the progradation of various deltas on...
Coastal Processes and Management of the Mahanadi River Deltaic Complex, East Coast of India
The Mahanadi river deltaic complex in the tropical climatic setting on the east coast of India has been studied with respect to geomorphology, land use/cover, coastal processes and management....
Stochastic Modeling for Drought Analysis
Periodic as well as annual stochastic streamflow models have been fitted to the highly variable flows measured at Krishnarajasagara (KRS) on river Cauvery (Southern India), which is monsoon-dependent...
Stochastic Modeling for Drought Analysis Using Thomas-Fiering Lognormal Three Parameter Model
Three variations of Thomas-Fiering log normal 3-parameter(TFLN3) model are fitted to the unregulated south-west monsoon-dependent monthly streamflows measured at Krishnarajasagara (KRS)...
Decision Support System for Water Supply Management
Water supply management is one area in which subjective decision making becomes necessary. Knowledge based decision support system is proposed for use in operation and management of an...
Watershed Simulation for Characterizing Droughts Under the Influence of Climate Change
The paper describes a model for simulating soil moisture deficit on a daily basis using historical rainfall and climatic data for the analysis of droughts. Distributed parameter hydrologic...
Application of Leading Edge PMS Techniques in India
In India there is a pressing need for an efficient system to plan highway rehabilitation and maintenance. A two year project has started in March 1993 to develop a Pavement Management...
Use of Pilot Projects for Technology Transfer in Developing Countries
Pilot projects of various sizes - 25-1100 ha of farm land - have been used to demonstrate new concepts in water supply and farming practices in Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan, and they...
Objective Measurement of Drought and Agricultural Response to Drought in the Water-Constrained Monsoon Climate of Tamil Nadu, India
Existing definitions of drought, particularly those based on annual or seasonal probability of occurrence, can fail to characterize adequately the relationship between transient shortfalls...
Case Studies of Semi-Closed Pipeline Systems for Flexible Deliveries
The semi-closed pipeline system using the best aspects of the open and the closed pipeline systems, has many applications. It is the best adapted system for use with the variable flow...
Case Studies of Utilizing a Flexible Automated Supply in Developing Countries
The need is seldom questioned for a water supply that is available when the crop needs it - frequency; at a rate that can be satisfactorily used; and for a duration that provides just...
Lysimeter Techniques and Application in India
Water is the most important resource and limiting factor for crop and industrial production in India, and agriculture is the largest consumer of water. The measurement of evapotranspiration...
Flexible Irrigation Supply Pilot Projects?Part II: Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, Egypt
The Sri Lanka project covers about 150 one hectare farms on the lower half of a unit served by one distributary. The upper part, because of delays in construction, was left as an earth...
The NPUSM (Narmada) Model for Modeling Canal Flows
The NPUSM computer program was developed for the analysis of unsteady flows in canals with various types of canal structures to evaluate the Narmada Canal system in Gujarat, India. The...
Causes and Possible Control Measures of Flood in Bangladesh
