Punjab and Haryana are two predominantly agricultural states of India using substantial amounts of agrochemicals, yet there are no reports available in literature on the level of pesticides in the stretch of river Ghaggar through Punjab and Haryana. This is the first report on pesticide pollution ...
Ghaggar river basin of northern India has been experiencing flash floods many times during the last three decades despite locating in semi-arid/arid regions. Identification of the flood risk zone of a basin is essential where the availability of flood-related data is limited. The present study ...
Ghaggar riverAlluvial sedimentsCarbonate nodulesIsotopic compositionProvenancePaleoclimateWe report the first geochemical record in two drill-sediment cores from a buried channel in the Ghaggar Plains of NW India, which are used to infer variations in provenance, paleoclimate, and paleovegetation in the...
This study aims to estimate the probabilities of occurrence and return periods of peak flood discharges over the Markanda basin of Ghaggar river system in north western India. For this purpose, two most frequently employed probability distribution models, namely Gumbel Extreme Value (GEV) and Log-...

In the river water samples pH ranges from 6.5 to 7.5; hardness ranges from 100 mg/l to 1170 mg/l; chloride ranges from 50 mg/l to 360\nmg/l; fluoride ranges from 0.5 mg/l to 3 mg/l; iron ranges from nil to 10 mg/l; aammonia ranges from 0.5 mg/l to 5 mg/l; nitrite ...
The results have been validated against Radarsat-1 images provided by NRSC-ISRO during the flood period and found an accuracy of 82% in both polarisations. VH polarisation has been found to have higher accuracy than VV polarisation. The finding reveals that ~9600 hectares and...
Therefore, the current study demonstrates the changes in water quality parameters of the Ghaggar river, Punjab, India. The variations in the water quality of the Ghaggar river have been examined during the pre-, during, and post-pandemic periods. The maximum temperature of the Ghaggar river ...
Hydro-geochemical investigation of groundwater of Sirhind Nala sub-basin of the Ghaggar river basin (Southwest Punjab) has been carried out to study the distribution and sources of various dissolved ions. The levels of EC indicated that high salinity of groundwater was confined to small patches....
The Ghaggar river basin causes substantial flooding in the south-east part of Punjab region owing to higher precipitation in Siwalik region and neighbor states which lead to rise in the water level of Ghaggar flood plain. The present study focuses primarily on the mapping of flood inundated ...
