It was necessary for Nepal to initiate a research centre to study and solve the complex issues
and problems associated with hydraulics and sediment in its Himalayan steep rivers for sustainable
water resources development. Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University (IOE-TU) in mid
eighties planned for a Water Resource Research Centre in Nepal. A hydraulic laboratory was

Field of Activities
Hydro Lab is well equipped with facilities, instruments and qualified personnel to perform
research and consultancy services. We conduct research and consulting services on following
areas of activities.
Physical hydraulic model studies
Sediment studies
Hydro turbine efficiency measurement
Settling basin performance test
Hydrometry
Geotechnical and geological studies
Numerical modeling
Design review
Why Physical Hydraulic Modeling
To develop conceptual layout of overall headworks structures
To verify and optimize the initial design of hydraulic structures with respect to cost and
operation
To reveal potential demerits of a proposed hydraulic design of various structures and explore
solutions
To use as supplementing tool to numerical modelling
To research for innovations in hydraulic structures design
