INTRODUCTION |
|
|
|
The Department of Hydrology is one among the 19 academic
departments of the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. The
Department came into existence with the inception of the
International Post Graduate Course in Hydrology in 1972, being
the first such a programme in a developing country. The profile
of development of the Department is given in Annexure II. The
courses, offered by the Department are presently sponsored by
the Government of India and the UNESCO. The Department has nine
dedicated full time faculty members having specializations in
surface water hydrology (Floods, Droughts), water resources
systems, watershed management, Geo-hydrology, ground water
geophysics, stochastic hydrology, hydro-informatics,
environmental hydrology etc. |
