Monthly water balance of Loktak Lake has been developed using catchment discharge obtained from a combination of hydrological models, MIKE SHE and SWAT, abbreviated as hybrid SHE-SWAT. A management plan has been proposed considering the variation of lake water level without compromising hydropower generation. The management plan aims to restore ecological balance of Keibul Lamjao National Park prioritizing Sangai deer. This will also prevent inundation of surrounding area without compromising hydropower generation.
