Reservoir management involves allocating available water among multiple uses and users, minimizing the risks of water shortages and flooding, and optimizing the beneficial use of water. However, a number of climate change predictions project rise in temperature and change in precipitation characteristics which may change the inflow pattern to a reservoir and eventually affect its performance in the long run. In the present paper, reservoir operation analysis has been carried out and impact of changing climate on the performance analysis of Pandoh reservoir has been evaluated.

The vulnerability of natural systems to rapid changes in climate pattern is regarded as one of the most challenging issues in recent years. This paper analyzes the annual rainfall pattern in the Mahi Right Bank Canal (MRBC) irrigation command area located in central Gujarat and evaluates its effects on cropping pattern, crop plantation schedules observed by the farmers in the command area under the study.

General Circulation Models (GCMs) are tools designed to simulate time series of climate variables globally, accounting for effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They are good at continental and hemispherical spatial scales and incorporate a large proportion of the complexity of the global systems.

The article traces the history of global initiatives on assessing present and projections of climate change (CC), describes the scope/status of current activities and program in hand for mitigation and adaptation in near future. It brings out the extent of adverse impacts of CC on water resources alongwith shortcomings of present investigations.

In this study, a general methodology is presented in order to use the downscaled output from a RCM (Regional Climate Models) directly in a hydrologic model for evaluating the impact of climate change on water resources. The hydrologic model used is the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The study area is a part of the Chaliyar River Basin in Kerala, India.

The aim of this study is to determine impact of water harvesting structures construction in recent past on inflow capacity of lake Fatehsagar, Udaipur.

The study investigates the application of time series methods for identification of trends and subsequent forecasting of groundwater levels in few blocks of Sagar District, which faces severe water scarcity owing to declining ground water levels.

Meandering phenomena takes place over an alluvial plane due to fluvial hydraulic forces, influence of gravity and sediment transport. For an alluvial channel, the resistance offered by the bed and bank varies with the bed material and saturation level of the bank-material and as such as the probability of bed load movement depends on the mobilizing force at initial bed condition. In the present study, a Physical Model has been developed considering Froude similitude.

Use of statistical morphometric analysis for the purpose and requirement of other disciplines may be far from the ground reality as it may be superfluous without corroboration by proper understanding of geology and geomorphology in the study. The present study attempts at the realization of such interpretations by considering drainage chracteristics of twenty sub-basins of Pariyat watershed located in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh in Central India.

Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) of project affected families (PAFs) is one of the very important activities of large size water resources projects. The success of R&R programme of such projects depends on sharing of information about PAFs and fast retrieval. This paper discusses the development of an information management system for managing R&R activities using web technologies, Internet Geographical Information System (IGIS) and databases for the large projects.
