摘要: The hydrology of high altitude glacierized basin in Himalaya is complex to understand due variability climate and lack hydro-meteorological data. In this study, analysis hydrological, glacier ablation meteorological records have been made for Dunagiri Glacier (~4,200 m) during the melt season (July - September), years 1985 1987–1989. daily cycle mean diurnal discharge summer months 1985–1989, maximum occurred at midnight, minimum morning. Mean daytime nighttime volume was contributing approximately equal amounts. Such type will be basis designing/developing Run-off-the river hydroelectric power projects which are heavily dependent on snow Himalaya. Time series available used governing hydrological processes within develop regression model future development runoff forecasting using
