Exploring Watersheds: Assessing Drainage Basin Characteristics and Management Approaches for Channel and Overland Flows
Abstract: Abstract: A watershed also known as a drainage basin or catchment area, constitutes a fundamental hydrological unit encompassing a delineated land surface from which all runoff converges into a common drainage system, channel, or water body. Recognized as vital frameworks for resource assessment and sustainable development planning, watersheds epitomize the intricate interplay between land and water resources, offering optimal synergies for holistic management approaches. This paper embarks on a comprehensive …

Delineate Catchment Areas of Vindhyachal Region Using Geospatial Techniques
Abstract: In this paper we used an integrated suite of raster and vector geospatial datasets to delineate and characterize watersheds. The geospatial datasets used to delineate and characterize watersheds with the help of Arc Hydro tools of Arc GIS software. We have performed drainage analysis on a terrain model for Vindhiyanchal Region. With the availability of digital elevation models (DEM) and geographic information system (GIS) tools, watershed properties can be extracted …

Prediction of Rainfall Using MLP and RBF Networks for Monsoon and Post-Monsoon Seasons of Pune and Mahabaleshwar Regions
Abstract: Prediction of rainfall for a river basin has utmost importance for planning of irrigation and drainage system as also for command area development. For example, analysis of consecutive days of rainfall is more relevant for drainage design of agricultural lands whereas analysis of weekly rainfall data is relevant for planning of cropping pattern. Likewise, analysis of monthly and seasonal data is more useful for water management practices. With the development …

GIS-Based Assessment of Flash Flood Hazard and Community Resilience in the Melamchi River Basin, Nepal
Abstract: Abstract: Flash floods are one of the most destructive natural hazards in mountainous regions due to their its rapid onset, high velocities, and short warning time. Erratic rainfall, cloudbursts, landslide, and climate-induced hydrological variability are the prime factors to trigger flash floods in the Himalayan region. The Melamchi River Basin in central Nepal has witness recurrent flash flood events, most notably the catastrophic 2021 flood. An Integrated hazard assessment and …
