Himalayan basins have great hydropower potential. In recent years, several of Himalayan basins have experienced flood conditions attributed to anthropogenic climate change and changes in land use. Therefore, there is a growing interest in issuing season-ahead flow forecasts based on atmospheric and oceanic teleconnections. The current study is a preliminary step towards developing a sub-seasonal-to-seasonal flow forecast model. The study investigates potential drivers of river flow at different time-lags. It is noted that an efficient prediction of the snow cover would lead to a skillful flow forecast. Therefore, the study estimates the correlation coefficients between ten climate indices and snow cover, and subsequently snow cover and river discharge at a downstream outlet of the Upper Bias River basin. Results confirm that a statistically significant correlation exists between climate indices and snow cover. Additionally, a linear regression model between snow cover and river discharge is developed to understand the linear dependence between the two variables. © 2022 IAHR.
