The water – level dependent inventory model developed to the reference of Sonbeel lake

Abstract

Sonbeel is the second largest fresh water lake in Asia. The water-level of Sonbeel is of variable pattern. Throughout the year, the level of water is not constant. During monsoon the water level increases and from the month of October it gradually decreases. Based on this variable level of water, an inventory model is proposed depending on the water level, so that a better water level management of the Sonbeel lake may be developed for the optimum use of water resources.
