A REAL TIME FLOOD FORECASTING MOtEL FOR BARAKAR RIVER (MAITHON SUBCATCHMENT)

Abstract

Flood forecasts are one of the most i~ portant aspects of applied hydrology. They are necessary in connection with flood-warnings, and rational regulation of reservoir. In this study application of classical river forecasting tech-niques have been adopted to forecast inflow hydrograph at Maithon Reservoir on Barakar River (Talaiya to Maithon) to formulate an efficient operation policy of the reservoir during the flood periods........
