Impact of climate change on water resources of Kurumali river basin

Abstract

Soil, water and air are the primary requirements for the existence of life on earth. Efficient distribution and sustainable use of water resources has to be managed on watershed basis. A watershed is a geographical area which receives water through precipitation and drains out to a common outlet. Watershed scale hydrological studies consider the weather conditions and physiographic features of the watershed as input factors. Changes in any of these parameter definitely willinfluence the watershed hydrology
