National Institute of Hydrology

Officially listed research infrastructure includes hydrological instrumentation, nuclear hydrology, remote sensing and GIS, hydrometeorological observation, soil-water and water-quality laboratories, a computer centre, workshop and research library. Division-level capabilities include isotope measurement and hydrometeorological instrumentation, water-quality analysis, groundwater and surface-water modelling, and cryosphere/climate studies.

This is a research institute profile rather than a degree-admissions listing for an affiliating university. The official site publishes research activities, training programmes and institute notices; no general student admission route or current degree-programme prospectus was confirmed in the sources checked.

NIH was established in 1978 as an autonomous society and was declared a Science and Technology organisation in 1987, according to institute-published information. Its work combines institute-funded research with sponsored and consultancy studies, scientific advice, collaboration with national and international organisations, and capacity-building activities.

National Institute of Hydrology (NIH), headquartered in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, is a Government of India research and development institute under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation. Its mandate is scientific work across hydrology and water-resources management, including modelling water availability, climate-change impacts, applied research, field instrumentation, software and decision support. The institute reports six scientific divisions at its headquarters and a network of regional centres serving distinct hydrological settings.
