ABSTRACT
The methodological framework followed in this study is schematised in Figure 9. The spatio-temporal details of analysis depend on the specific research issue, application of a particular method and data availability. These details are specified in the relevant chapters of this thesis. The hydrological variability and water availability were investigated using various state-of-the-art methods of hydrological analysis (termed as system investigation). The hydrological modeling was carried out to understand hydrological process and their variability and to test the impact of the water management interventions. The hydrological analysis and modeling consequently provide a sound scientific basis for guiding the water resources management in the river-basin context. A brief description of the methods used in this study is presented below.
