Project Description: The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has planned to prepare station inventory for all its major stations which will include the cross-section properties at two or more sections so that the adequate information would be available for the extrapolation of rating curve. In this regard, OHM-Dharan has called for the proposals for Intensive Flow Measurement and River Cross-Section Survey at Hydrological Stations in response to which this Proposal is prepared.
