Success of an irrigation system depends on efficient water management. The National Water Policy of India (revised in April 2002) states, "Certain problems and weaknesses in planning and implementation have affected a large ...
The management of regional water resources needs careful planning with regard to assessment of their availability and economics of allocation and use without degradation of the environment. An irrigation system which is ...
The channel geometry of a large braided river like the Brahmaputra in India with energy environment and complex adaptive process response system, displays variable and intricate fluvio-geomorphologic characteristics with ...
Due to severe stream-induced erosion of the banks, large-sized islands like Majuli in the river Brahmaputra in the province of Assam, are facing imminent extinction. During high floods, these islands are subjected to ...
The research presented in this thesis has attempted to bridge some of the gaps in the rainwater harvesting filter systems. An extensive review of the literature was conducted to identify the gaps and relevant research ...
Traditionally, water supplies for drinking or industrial uses have been drawn from rivers, streams, and from natural or artificial collections of water. The systems of tapping under-ground water have been tube wells (vertical ...
Most of the pollutants entering to the river system are bio-degradable in nature. Due to this characteristic, the pollutants get decayed while being transported downstream. Considering first order decay at a specific rate, ...
Watershed management is one of the promising approaches for management of water resources in and and semi-arid Indian ecosystems. The gap between demand and supply of water in these areas is growing with the population. ...
The flows of the world's rivers are increasingly being modified through impoundments, abstractions, return flows, inter-basin diversions, and flood control structures (Dyson et al., 2003; Postel and Richter, 2003). It is ...
The land _ use and land cover change (LULCC) plays an important role in global environmental change. Projections of future land use and land cover (LULC) patterns are needed to emulate the implications of human actions for ...
