  • EFFECT OF INTERMEDIATE DRAINS ON STABILITY OF STRUCTURES FOUNDED ON SOIL OF FINITE DEPTH 
    Kumar, Akhilesh (1985)
    The stability of hydraulic structures founded on permeable soil has to be ensured against forces caused by percolating water. The seepage water exerts uplift pressure below the structure and tends to remove the soil particles ...
  • LOSS MINIMIZATION IN TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM 
    Bhatele, Ram Prakash (1985)
    The demand for electrical energy is increasing exponentially with the time and it has become necessary for the electrical industry to transport a large amount of power over large and complex transmission and distribution ...
  • PRICING POLICY FOR IRRIGATION WATER 
    Padhi, Gopinath (1983)
    Development of Irrigation involves heavy investments. Lack of rational pricing policy has led to many misgivings. This may be attributed to the complexities involved in the process as well as inadequate attention by planners ...
  • OPTIMAL OPERATION OF POWER SYSTEM WITH MULTI RESERVOIRS AS APPLIED TO BHAKRA-BEAS SYSTEM 
    Chauhan, R. C. (1983)
    Expanding Multi Reservoir Systems are being created to Vi meet increasing demand of water and power. Operation practices and decisions based on judgemental decisions still being follow-ed cannot be optimal. These decisions ...
  • A SIMULATION STUDY OF TUNNEL EXCAVATION 
    Chauhan, R. L. (1982)
    The inherent uncertainties in tunnelling which may be due to geological formations, management effectiveness and equipment performance need to be studied through stochastic modelling. The conventional deterministic approach ...
  • RAINFALL RUNOFF MODELING OF RAMGANGA CATCHMENT 
    Sethy, Sandhyarani (2008)
    Information regarding flow rates at any point of interest along a stream is necessary in the analysis and design of many types of water resource projects. Although many streams have been gauged to provide continuous records ...
  • A STUDY ON RIVERBANK FILTRATION 
    Sende, Sachin S. (2008)
    Riverbank filtration (RBF) is a process during which surface water is subjected to subsurface flow prior to extraction from wells. During infiltration and soil passage, surface water is subjected to a combination of physical, ...
  • USE OF GIS FOR WATER RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT 
    Bahera, Snehalata (2008)
    The present study has been carried out to prioritize watershed using morphometric parameters in ARC GIS environment. This study has been carried out for watershed of Ret river encompassing an area of about 262 km2. The ...
  • PROBLEM OF NAVIGATION AND PROBABLE REMEDIES AT SELECTED LOCATIONS IN THE GANGA RIVER 
    Nayak, Anupama (2008)
    In this preliminary phase of the study, a prima-facie analysis was conducted to get an insight into the basic causes of insufficient navigation draught in the six locations on the Ganga river falling between Varanasi & ...
  • DESIGN OF WATER TREATMENT PLANT FOR A HILLY TERRAIN 
    chhuanmawia, Isaac Lal (2008)
    The primary objective of water treatment plant is to provide water that is safe for human consumption, is appealing to the consumer, non corrosive and non scaling. Moreover, the quantity of treated water should be sufficient ...
  • IRRIGATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE EVALUATION : A CASE STUDY 
    Azhar, S. M. B. Mohamed (2008)

  • FLOOD INUNDATION MAPPING - A CASE STUDY 
    Ahmad, Jamil (2008)
    A flood inundation map project needs geographic data from traditional aerial mapping for terrain modeling and map presentation and cross-section data for hydraulic calculations. The hydrologic analysis is needed for ...
  • REMOTE SENSING BASED STUDY OF RIVER AVULSION OF BRAHMAPUTRA NEAR DIBRUGARH 
    Kumar, Ajay (2007)
    The Brahmaputra River is known for tremendous morphological changes over the years. The huge sediment load of the Brahmaputra River is mainly responsible for its changing morphology. In the past various studies have been ...
  • COMPUTER BASED FLOW SIMULATION OF SARDA FEEDER CHANNEL 
    Kumar, Adesh (2007)
    The assessment of sediment transport capacity of the channels is an important aspect and needs careful attention at the time of designing/planning a new canal project for maintaining its water carrying capacity during its ...
  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DYKE FORMATION USING SUBMERGED VANES 
    Kumar, Deepak (2007)
    Submerged vanes are thin rectangular-shaped low-profile foils, typically set at small angles to the main current and arranged in either single or multiple parallel arrays in the longitudinal direction. When installed in a ...
  • FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF TANK IRRIGATION PROJECTS 
    Siriwardana, K. D. Nihal (2007)
