Adaptation of standardised precipitation index for understanding watertable fluctuations and groundwater resilience in hard-rock areas of India
Springs are the major source of freshwater in many small mountainous watersheds within the Himalayan region. In recent years, their flow rates have diminished, but the reasons for this are not self-evident, and hence this paper reviews the methods to investigate Himalayan springs. The review reve...
