HYDROLOGICAL AND HYDRAULIC MODELLING

Installation of automatic weather stations with data loggers for measuring rainfall, snowfall, temperature, wind speed & direction, relative humidity, solar radiation, sunshine hours and evaporation Establishment of gauge and discharge site Discharge observations using floats and current meters Installation of winch and cable way for cross-section and current meter observations Water levels using automatic water level recorders and contact free radar sensors Water depth using eco-sounder and water depth sensors Stage-discharge relationships Suspended sediment concentration and load Water quality parameters

HYDROLOGICAL DESIGN

  • Hydrological design for water resources and hydropower projects
  • Water and sediment yield estimation
  • Assessment water availability, transposition of flow series, computation of dependable years and preparation of flow duration curves at gauged and ungauged potential hydropower sites
  • Assessment of project specific environmental flows
  • Design storm analysis
  • Estimation of design flood
  • Sedimentation studies
  • Development of modules for profile extraction, site selection and power potential calculations
  • Dam break analysis
