DEVELOPMENT OF WATER BUDGET EQUATION FOR JHELUM BASIN IN SRINAGAR
Abstract
In the present study the water budget equation for Jhelum basin in Srinagar was developed on the basis of precipitation, run-off, infiltration, and evapo-transpiration investigations of the catchment. Precipitation data for the District Srinagar was collected from Meteorological Department and the volume of water due to precipitation was worked out for a particular storm. Also, the hydrograph was plotted for the determination of run-off due to the storm. Infiltration studies for the District Srinagar were conducted and Evapo-transpiration was determined with the help of Blaney-Criddle Method for Srinagar. Finally, the water budget equation was developed for Jhelum basin in Srinagar.
