Isolated and combined effects of LULC on stream flow is tested

Effect of mining lands on sediment yield in past and future scenarios were studied

Cascading effect on stream flow was observed as upper catchment gauging stations are yielding accurate results than lower catchment gauging stations.

Increase of cultivated lands at greater magnitudes in future years was observed which further increases water demand in the region indicating the requisite of proper land and water resource management.

Secondary satellite datasets were considered for developing fire susceptibility maps

Usage of Susceptibility maps in hydrological model for estimating effects of fire on water balance was proposed.

Highly susceptible sub basins were analysed for variations in lateral and surface flow.

Around 21.16% increase in burnt area was estimated in 2017 when compared to 2005

Around 30.83% increase in the percentage change of streamflow from pre and post fire scenarios was observed from 2005 to 2017

Integration of two precipitation products employing nudging scheme was proposed.

Reliability and applicability of recently released ERA-5 dataset was explored.

Sensitivity of calibration parameters was tested employing discrete calibration scenarios.

CHIRPS proved best for streamflow modeling and the ERA-5 in detecting rainfall.

Satellite precipitation products yielded better results in humid and tropical regions
