Abstract

Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) is the source of the perennial rivers but a victim of climate change and extreme events. Therefore, this region requires more detailed hydrological, ecological, and meteorological research for managing water resources issues and to develop the optimal resource management policies to improve the local as well as downstream community resilience. But in developing countries like India, field hydrology often neglected in the Himalayan region to collect fine-resolution data due to remote location and logistic issues. Thus, very few studies have been conducted in the Himalayan region and data scarcity is a dominant problem. To explore Himalayan hydrology, the research group (Under Supervision of Prof. Sen) at the Department of Hydrology, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee instrumented two Lesser Himalayan hillslopes (since 2017 monsoon) with spatial distribution and continuous temporal data monitoring sensors. The hillslopes are located at an elevation of 1200m M.S.L, one at each aspect of a watershed covering two different landuse type i.e. grassland and agro-forested. Rainfall, runoff, and spatial soil moisture data are available at 5-min resolution in online data repositories.
