Ü Hydraulic Sediment Transport Models (HEC-RAS/MIKE-21C, etc) for Thoubal river reach will be developed for River Sand–Gravel Mining to be used conjunctively for adaptive water resources applications in Manipur.

Ü The main target output are the “Sediment Time-Series” and “Sediment Rating curves” deciphered from daily flows and sediment transport for the identification of viable and potential sand/pebble mining zones along Thoubal river. Relinishment rate of silt/sand is to be worked out using field pits and numerical sediment transport modelling.

Ü GIS layers and dynamic maps (up to 1:500 scale) depicting Thoubal river aggradation and degradation profiles, along with river morphological layers. The hydraulic attributes will be presented for the composition of viable and potential sand/pebble mining zones in a dynamic monthly to an annual-quarterly time scale.

Ü Integrated Thoubal river bank erosion computations in 2D environment. Attributes of initial bank retreat, parallel bank retreat and human-induced bank retreat will be sufficed to account for the causes of unsystematic sand quarrying/mining at the various vulnerable sites.

Adaptive Water Balance Schematization at Sub-Basin Scale for Dynamic Climatic Variations in Manipur IHR

(Project Date: 01/04/2019

Climate Change Programme Divn., SPLICE, Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government Of India

The project study has been objected to find determinate water availability variants in response to the catchment and dynamic climatic characteristics. The project study is concentrated on the three major river basins encompassing Manipur Indo-Himalayan region. The hydrological response functions in each basin will be used to schematize a water balance model at sub-basin level spatial scale and temporal scales which will result in quantification of surface and sub-surface water, allocation of for aquifer recharging locations and control depleting water tables. The results of the study can be spontaneously adopted in conjunctive water resources planning to reciprocate with the changing hydrosystem of the Indian Himalayan belt of Manipur region.

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) – NESAC (North Eastern Space Applications Centre)

The project study is directed to assess the impact of land use and climate change on the hydrological regime of Loktak Lake sub-basin with the following broad objectives:

To assess the spatial and sensitivity of land use change and climatic variations on the water flux of the lake catchment.
To estimate the soil erosion due to land use change and rainfall pattern
To develop a relationship between spatial statistics of land use/climatic factor with the hydrological model derived runoff.
