NIH develops software for flood estimation

The flood fright has always remained a cause of concern for the planners of various water-based projects. Now, the planners can architect their structures with greater precision to counter the flood threats. The National Institute of Hydrology (NIH), Roorkee, has developed a package called "FLPACK' to estimate the flood for large, medium and small sized catchments by putting in use hydrograph approach and reservoir and channel-routing procedures.
