“…The mean annual rainfall in the outer, middle and greater Himalayan ranges of the basin is about 1300, 700 and 200 mm, respectively (Singh & Kumar, 1997). The distribution of rainfall indicates that the rainfall is mostly concentrated in the lower part of the basin and has little influence in the greater Himalayan range.…”

“…Les basses tempĂ©ratures ne favorisant pas d'abondantes prĂ©cipitations, ce gradient dans les Alpes nord-occidentales s'attĂ©nue sensiblement et semble mĂȘme diminuer Ă  partir d'une altitude de 2 500-3 000 m (GRISOLLET et al, 1962 ;MÉTÉO-FRANCE, 1991). Ce phĂ©nomĂšne d'attĂ©-nuation a Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© reconnu dans l'Himalaya oriental (SINGH et KUMAR 1997) Enfin, pour la partie occidentale de la VallĂ©e d'Aoste les prĂ©cipitations solides (moyenne 1933-1969) reprĂ©sentent environ le tiers des prĂ©cipitations totales annuelles (NOVEL, 1995).…”

“…This exponential relationship can be explained on the basis of distribution of snow in the basin . As discussed by Singh & Kumar (1997), increase of snow depth with elevation would result in thinner and low-density snow packs at the lower elevations and thicker and denser ones at the higher altitudes. This case is in agreement with the data gathered from the automated snow and meteorological stations distributed at different elevations in the Karasu basin.…”
