The shape of the hydrograph varies according to a number of controlling factors in the drainage basin A number of factors (known as drainage basin controls) influence the way in which a river responds to precipitation and have an effect on the shape of the hydrograph. The size‚ shape and relief of the basin are important controls. Water takes longer to reach the trunk stream in a large‚ round basin than in does in a small‚ narrow one Where gradients are steep‚ water runs off faster‚ reaches

EFFECT OF GANGES WATER SHARING TREATY ON BANGLADESH ECONOMY AND REGIONAL RELATIONSHIP Introduction 1. The Ganges water sharing problem is not only the longest standing source of dispute between Bangladesh and India but also by now one of the most elaborately studied subjects in inter state relations in South Asia. The flow of the Ganges water stands 7000 waters above the sea level at its points of origin in Nepal and traverse for about 2550 kms through Nepal‚ India and Bangladesh before falling

RAIN WATER HARVESTING INTRODUCTION 1. Urban centres in India are facing an ironical situation today. On one hand there is the acute water scarcity due to rise in consumption‚ over dependence and over-exploitation of ground water resources. Added to this‚ there is a lack of a coherent and credible water management policy. On the other hand‚ the streets are often flooded during the monsoons‚ giving rise to a situation of ‘water‚ water everywhere‚ and not a drop to drink.’ 2. This shortage

Expierence has shown that every time we have a heavy rain fall ….a large sections of our base get flooded by rain water. Some time …just like today most offices in the Well system‚ OWS and Petrotesting also get flooded. This morning while it was raining we had to cut off electric power supply to the OWS and Petrotesting sections of our base as the level of the water in the offices was high enough to cover some electrical power suckets on the walls. Also back in my own office I observed some

Causes and mechanisms of water resources degradation Logging of forest Logging is the cutting‚ skidding‚ on-site processing‚ and loading of trees or logs onto trucks. Logging and the subsequent denudation of the forest cover increases surface runoff since there is less oppurtunity for rainwater to sink into the ground. .Retarded or supressed infiltration accelerates overland flow production‚hastening delivery of rainwater into streams and rivers‚ the oftentimes the water ends up as floodwater
