Application of MODFLOW in Water Resource Management
Abstract: Groundwater is one of the major sources of water in our country. Due to its over exploitation, fulfilling the demands for domestic, agricultural and industrial purpose, groundwater level is falling very rapidly day by day especially during summer season in arid and semi arid regions, leading to water scarcity problems. This necessitates the proper planning and management of groundwater resources. Recent advancement in computer-based modelling system provides solution to plan …

Groundwater Potential, Status and Its Recharge Behavior under Climate Change Consequence
Abstract: Water is considered life for every living substance, from simple ones to complex structural systems that exist on the earth. Without water, life is not possible. The only source of water is precipitation and it is uncertain in a country like India, where demand for water is increasing at a tremendous rate in each and every sector. To satisfy this increasing demand of water in each and every sector, one …

Design of A Spillway: A Case Study
Abstract: A hydraulic structure constructed to discharge surplus water from the reservoir into the river on the downstream side without endangering the safety of the dam is known as Spillway. Spillway is very important structure in any dam project. Many dams have failed because of incorrect design of spillway. Spillway is most vulnerable part of dam. Proper attention has to be given to the design and construction of spillway. Spillway can …

Hydro-political Interactions: India-Nepal-Bangladesh
Abstract: Rivers are the only naturally occurring resource on land that threads nations though it also divides them bitterly. It’s the “preciousness' of freshwater that makes it’s “possession” an indicator of power and justifies it being a strategic commodity. Indeed, "Water in a Changing World", will assume greater salience and as it does, the drivers impacting water resources, whether climate variability and security issues or electricity-generation and migration, will need to …

Water Resource Analysis and Potential Evaluation of Bhima Basin in Maharashtra (GIS Approach)
Abstract: Potential of surface water and ground water resource evaluated and demand on resource figured out at sub catchment level. HEC-HMS software was used for hydrologic modeling taking dynamic canopy for evapotranspiration, SCS curve number for surface loss, constant monthly for base flow and storage-discharge for reservoir consideration. Basin model and curve numbers were generated using ArcGIS (GeoHMS tools). Ground water fluctuation study on 10 years water level data carried out. …

Estimation of Rock Participation Factor through Hydro Tests of Pressure Shafts: A Case Study
Abstract: Pressure shafts for conveying water from fore-bay reservoir to power generating units are designed by taking advantage of surrounding rock mass in sharing internal design pressure. The ratio of internal pressure shared by surrounding rock mass to design pressure is known as rock participation factor (RPF). It is a very important parameter in economizing the cost of pressure shafts through saving of high strength steel. However, to ascertain share of …
