It is indeed a prestigious event and is being held for the first time in South & South East Asia. It gives me immense pleasure in welcoming all the delegates to this ancient city. SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool), is a sophisticated basin scale model used widely for solving problems related to water resources planning and management and more recently in climate change studies. It equips the users from various fields in predicting the impacts of weather, soils, land use and land management practices on water supplies and pollution as well as soil erosion, fertility and crop production etc. IIT Delhi has been participating in the development and enrichment of the model since the last 14 years after concurring MoA with Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, College Station, Texas and using this model for hydrologic modelling of various Indian River Basins. Scientists, technologists and students from all around the globe shall be meeting at Delhi to facilitate the global exchange of ideas and knowledge in the field of Water Resources and allied areas. I extend my best wishes to all participants and wish the conference a grand success. I am sure that all the participants will benefit academically and socially from this event. Prof R K Shevgaonkar IIT Gosain 14 7 2012.indd 9 7/14/2012 11:46:46 PM IIT Gosain 14 7 2012.indd 10 7/14/2012 11:46:46 PM Preface I am delighted that Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Delhi is hosting the 2012 International SWAT Workshops and Conference during July 16-20, 2012 at New Delhi. This is a very coveted and eagerly awaited event. The untiring efforts of Jimmy, Jeff and Srini saw the initial versions of SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) to reach a stage in nineties where the user and developer community across the Globe started accepting the SWAT as a product worth using. The popularity was not only due to the fact that it was a very robust model, which indeed it is, but also because of the fact that they very sincerely extended a helping hand to whosoever wanted to use it and even participate in its enhancement. While doing so they not only have helped tens of hundreds of scientists but also championed the philosophy of development of the mathematical models that are essential to solve many of the recent problems of water resources in a transparent manner where everybody is welcome to participate in any capacity. I still remember like yesterday, although it was in 1996, when I approached Srini and Jeff that IIT Delhi shall like to use the model. The reply was so positive and warm that a bond was created which is still going strong till today. By the end of the twentieth century the number of such users had already grown to a sizable number. In 2001, it was contemplated to create an opportunity where researchers and modelers from various countries can meet and share their ideas and experiences. Thus, the first conference was held in 2001 in Germany. Since then SWAT conference has become a regular affair. Subsequent conferences have been held in Italy, Switzerland, China, The Netherlands, Korea and the last being in Spain in 2011. The SWAT workshops have also become a part and parcel of these events where many of the budding researchers are inducted into the use of SWAT model to solve the problems being faced in their countries. For those who are still not connected to the model, SWAT is developed by a group of scientists from the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS); the United States Department of IIT Gosain 14 7 2012.indd 11 7/14/2012 11:46:46 PM Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) and Texas AgriLife Research. It was developed to predict the impact of land management practices on water, sediment and agricultural chemical yields in large complex watersheds with varying soils, land

  • Water Balance and Mean Water Residence Time of the Vembanad Wetland of Kerala State, India
    Ecohydrology of Surface and Groundwater Dependent Systems: Concepts, Methods and Recent Developments 223 (Proc. of JS.1 at the Joint IAHS & IAH Convention, Hyderabad, India, September 2009). IAHS Publ. 328, 2009. Water balance and mean water residence time of the Vembanad Wetland of Kerala State, India R. GOPAKUMAR1 & K. TAKARA2 1 Centre for Water Resources Development and Management, Kozhikode-673571, Kerala, India [email protected] 2 Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Uji, Kyoto 611-0011, Japan Abstract The Vembanad Wetland complex of Kerala State in India comprises the Vembanad backwater lake and the deltaic regions of five rivers, which drain into the lake. The wetland has many functions, including flood and pollution control, biodiversity, agriculture, inland navigation and tourism. Artificial impacts including land reclamation and reductions in tidal flushing have led to significant environmental degradation of this wetland complex. This study examines the hydrology of the Vembanad Wetland in terms of river flow variability, seasonal water level variations, residence time and overall water balance. Estimates of water residence time in the Vembanad backwater lake are nearly identical for the scenario of freshwater flows during monsoons and for the non-monsoon scenario, if the lake is left open for tidal flushing. Therefore, one of the strategies for ecological restoration of the Vembanad Wetland is to allow periodic tidal flushing by rescheduling the operation of the Thanneermukkom (TM) barrage during the non-monsoon period. The study also shows that a major share of the freshwater drained into the wetland from the rivers is discharged to the Arabian Sea. Increasing the storage within the river basins is essential for the optimal utilization of river flows and the wetlands’ sustainability.

  • Flood Hazard Zonation of Vamanapuram River Basin
    Flood Hazard Zonation of Vamanapuram River Basin, Trivandrum, India: Using Remote Sensingand GIS Techniques Rosemary Noble 1, Reshma J.K2 , Rajesh Raghunath3 & Vineetha P4 Abstract Floods are the most common natural disasters; their frequency, magnitude and the cost of damage are on the rise all over the world. According to European commission (2007), a flood can be defined as ‘a natural phenomenon that results in the temporary submerging with water of a land that does not occur under normal conditions’. Flash floods are considered to be one of the worst weather-related natural disasters. They are dangerous because they are sudden and are highly unpredictable following brief spells of heavy rain. The present study area Vamanapuram River basin in Kerala State, India presents a challenge in terms of repeated flash flood hazard in some parts. The aim of this study is to predict the potential flood hazard areas in Vamanapuram River Basin based on multi criteria assessment using remote sensing and GIS tools. The study follows a multi-criteria approach using Ranking method and integrates slope, land use land cover, soil, drainage density, annual rainfall and roads per micro-watershed parameters to propose a Flood Hazard Map. The estimation of flood hazard areas revealed that a major portion of the basin comprised of moderate to very high hazard zone. Only a little portion (8%) was found to be not vulnerable to potential flood hazard. Conversely, 36% of the basin was found within very high hazard zone. The results were validated to offer a cost-effective solution for planning mitigation in the flood prone areas.
