DOCTORAL THESES (WRDM): Recent submissions

  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PIANO KEY WEIR 
    Singhal, Gopal Das (2009)
    As projects are reassessed for safety, provision for an increased estimate of the probable maximum flood (PMF) has to be made in many cases. It is therefore necessary to provide more flood storage and/or larger capacity ...
  • SEEPAGE ANALYSIS FROM FURROW CHANNELS 
    Samal, Kshyana Prava (2009)
    Furrow irrigation is a conventional method of irrigation used in tropical region in India to grow vegetable crops. Many researchers have reported that the furrow irrigation has lower application efficiency in comparison ...
  • WATER BALANCE STUDY OF A STORAGE TANK IN DROUGHT PRONE AREA 
    Barik, Dillip Kumar (2009)
    Water scarcity problems in a drought prone area can be mitigated by conservation and management of water available in the area. Water balance study is a pre-requisite for planning of an efficient water management practice. ...
  • GIS BASED STUDY OF GEOMORPHOLOGY, LANDUSE AND WATER RESOURCE IN SMALL WATERSHEDS 
    Suresh, Deshmukh Dhananjay (2008)
    A proper understanding of morphological parameters, land use and land cover, underlying geology and hydrological behavior of a watershed can be significantly useful in watershed planning particularly in the absence of ...
  • MODELLING OF RAINFALL GENERATED RUNOFF AND SEDIMENT YIELD 
    Singh, Pushpendra Kumar (2007)
    Rainfall-runoff-sediment yield modeling is integral to water resources planning, development and management, flood control, environmental impact assessment, erosion and sediment control, water quality modeling and watershed ...
  • SIMULATION OF SOLUTE TRANSPORT IN UNSTEADY STREAMFLOWS 
    Prasad, Seepana Bala (2002)
    The subject of pollutant mixing and its transport in streams has been at the forefront of research for the determination of pollutant concentration along the river course and for regulating disposal of pollutants in rivers. ...
  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON CHARACTERISTICS OF BRAIDED STREAMS 
    Abdullah, Mohammad (2001)
    Alluvial river channels are 'self-formed' as they flow over the alluvial lands having sandy-silty-clay materials. Their morphology results from the entrainment, transportation and deposition of the unconsolidated sedimentary ...
  • STUDY OF SCOUR AROUND PERMEABLE SPURS 
    Shah, Shagoofta Rasool (2001)
    Increasing economic costs of river protection works in India have led to the adoption of permeable spurs in practice. However, research on different types of permeable spurs is not developed to the same extent as that on ...
  • STUDY ON PERFORMANCE OF SUBMERGED VANES WITH COLLAR 
    Gupta, Umesh Prasad (2003)
    Increasing capital costs, emerging environmental concerns and rising maintenance expenses of the conventional river training works around the world have led to the development of submerged vanes in practice. Submerged vanes ...
  • ROCK MASS CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF SUPPORTS FOR TUNNELS IN HIMALAYA 
    Kumar, Naresh (2002)
    Engineers in the recent times look towards empirical methods for selection and design of tunnel supports due to the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the analytical design methods. Engineering rock mass classification ...
  • DAILY RAINFALL-RUNOFF MODELING USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK 
    Padmakarrao, Rajurkar Milind (2002)
    The models developed to simulate the rainfall-runoff process can be broadly grouped under three categories, with increasing order of complexities involved as: i) empirical; ii) conceptual; and iii) physically based distributed ...
  • THREE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF •ROCKFILL DAMS UNDER GRAVITY LOADING 
    Singh, Ram Pal (1991)
    The objective of this study is to carry out three dimensional sequential non-linear analysis of rockfill dams with central core for gravity loading. The dams have been considered to be located in valleys of different shapes ...
  • 2-D DEPTH AVERAGED MODELLING FOR CURVILINEAR BRAIDED STRETCH OF BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER 
    Akhtar, Md Parwez (2011)
    The Brahmaputra is the largest river in the Indian subcontinent and ranks fifth in the world in terms of discharge. The specific yield from its catchment area is one of the highest in the world due to incidence of very ...
  • SIMULATION STUDY OF AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF CANAL 
    Samih, Ashraf Saad Zaghlool Abdel (1993)
    Supervisory control is a control system in which system information is periodically monitored and globally analyzed to decide the control action. In a multi-reach, multi-offtake canal system with changing lateral flow ...
  • SEEPAGE FROM CANAL WITH ASYMMERIC DRAINAGES 
    Kirkos, Abate Tadesse Wolde (1993)
    Canals are widely used in irrigation schemes as a major conveyance system. Most of the canals are unlined and the amount of actual water finally available for irrigation is significantly less than the quantity of water ...
  • TECHNO ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT (TEAM) APPROACH TO RIVER BASIN PLANNING 
    Bony, Maryono (1993)
    Multiple reservoir planning and management related to water resources mobilization within a river basin involves numerous rather complex physical, technological, economic and social aspects. Often, the most difficult ...
  • SEEPAGE FROM CANALS FOUNDED ON FINITE PERVIOUS SOIL WITH ASYMMETRIC DRAINAGES 
    Goyal, Rohit (1994)
    Cana seepage estimation is of considerable importance for economic justification of canal lining. Determination of phreatic surface due to seepage from canal helps in estimating the area likely to be water—logged. Seepage ...
  • DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERT SYSTEM FOR CONTRACTUAL RISK SHARING IN TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION 
    Badarinath, H. S. (1991)
    Tunnel construction is a subject involving uncertainties arising due to the geology of the rock formations, efficiency and output of the tunnelling equipment and the management conditions. The resulting cost and time ...
  • HYDRAULIC FRACTURING WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO SOIL CYLINDERS 
    Hassani, Abdul Wahed (1984)
    Hydraulic fracturing is a live problem these days in the field of geotechnical engineering. The application of the concept of hydraulic fracturing to geotechnical problems, and in particular, to the development of cracks ...
