ESTIMATING CONTRIBUTION OF WATER FLOW COMPONENTS TO KAMENG RIVER BASIN USING HYDROLOGICAL MODELLING

Abstract. The Himalayas, also known as third pole of the Earth feed some major rivers world viz. Ganga, Indus, Brahmaputra etc. accurate assessment water resources in eastern Himalayas is very important for respective policy makers. detailed and hydrological cycle component are critical attaining United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) such affordable clean energy, sanitation building resilient infrastructure This study focuses on Kameng river basin, estimating melt & its contribution to total discharge river. A 3-layer VIC model coupled with energy balance algorithm used estimate patterns profile region. Net were estimated be about 18% during peak season upper catchments. With advancement technology, acquiring meteorological data via remote sensing has become more high resolution. one inputs model. forecasting these parameters, multipurpose hydropower projects regions can plan well advance thus playing a role Integrated Water Resource Management. In current coefficient determination Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency calculated 0.82 0.71 respectively. increasing population region, any substantial change streamflow will have consequences unknown now, making this necessity need hour.
