Abstract

The Teesta River is the main right-bank tributary of Brahmaputra River which originates from North Sikkim Himalaya, India, and joins the Brahmaputra River in Bangladesh. Teesta River is the high elevated drained river which originates from TsoLhamo Lake at 5030-m elevation which shows its potential to generate the hydroelectricity. Due to the large variation in the elevation profile, the located cities at the bank of this river are at risk of landslides and flash flood events during monsoon season. A case study on Teesta river catchment using hydrological modeling to simulate the governing parameters such as streamflow in the river basin was carried out with MIKE NAM hydrological model.
