Sediment Transport Modelling (India)

Jomiso developed advanced sediment transport and deposition models for seven major river basins in India — including Ramganga, Barak, Narmada, Cauvery, Kuttiadipuzha, Mangalam, and Peechi. The project aimed to support erosion management and reservoir sedimentation planning through data-driven insights and predictive simulation.

Using hydrological and hydraulic modelling tools, Jomiso assessed the sediment dynamics under varying climatic and flow conditions to identify areas prone to high erosion or sediment deposition. These findings assist in optimizing reservoir operation policies and enhancing long-term water storage capacity.

This initiative, funded by the World Bank under the National Hydrology Project, plays a critical role in improving catchment management and supporting sustainable water infrastructure planning across multiple Indian states.
