We are pleased to share that Dr. Ruchir Patidar, along with his co-authors Dr. Santosh Murlidhar Pingale, Prof. Deepak Khare, Dr. Deen Dayal, and Dr. Sourav Choudhary, have published a research paper titled “Evaluating the GloFAS discharge reanalysis product for hydrological drought monitoring in India: performance across temporal scales and flow regimes” in the Hydrological Sciences Journal (Taylor & Francis).

The study presents the first nationwide evaluation of the GloFAS reanalysis product for hydrological applications in India, covering both drought and flood perspectives. Using long-term discharge records (over 25 years) from 109 gauging stations, it systematically compares simulated and observed flows across daily, monthly, annual, monsoon, and non-monsoon scales, including dependable flow conditions (Q5, Q30, etc.).

The findings highlight that while GloFAS performs reliably at broader temporal scales and is effective in detecting hydrological extremes, it shows limitations in capturing low-flow conditions and drought severity, particularly in non-perennial and regulated basins.

This work underscores the potential of GloFAS as a first-alert system for hydrological studies in ungauged and data-scarce regions, while emphasizing the need for integration with local observations for operational applications in both drought and flood research.

Congratulations to all the authors for this valuable contribution to hydrology, water resources, and climate science.
