Application of Data Science Techniques in Optimal Management of PeriUrban Watersheds

What is the Work Plan? After the watershed is selected the data on water availability needs to be calculated from the climatic and hydrologic data. The total population of the watershed also needs to be collected and per capita, water availability is required to be approximated. Now you can generate a choropleth map indicating the per capita water availability. If the variation within the watersheds as indicated by the choropleth map is much more than expected then the watershed is vulnerable and needs to be managed optimally. Otherwise, it is assumed that the watershed is already managed well. However, to reduce the variation between different areas optimization techniques may be applied for minimization of the variation keeping the average per capita water availability the same.

Impact of Climate Change on Blue Water of Tropical Watersheds

What is the Work Plan? At first, a watershed will be selected for this analysis based on the health of the watershed. If the watershed is healthy then no need for this analysis. However, if the watershed is unhealthy this type of study is required for the improvement of the watershed health. Click here to know more.

5 Most Epic Earth Healing Projects!

Start Up Idea : Harvester for Extreme Events App

An app which by retrieving the local weather information can predict the potential of the area for harvesting specific crops. The app can be connected to automatic weather monitoring systems for real-time retrieval of data. The parameters that will be monitored : 1)Temperature 2)Rainfall 3)Humidity 4)Soil Moisture Among all these parameters Soil Moisture is the only parameter that needs to be monitored in real-time by an optical sensor connected to the App. After a prediction is made based on the weather values, the same is compared with a threshold value which is predefined.  The owner of the app can take a subscription fee or per-service fee against receiving the required data from the map.

Start Up Idea : Flood Forecasting with BIRR and Wildfire Impacts

Start-Up Idea : Flood Forecasting Models considering BIRR and Wildfire Impacts. Flood Forecasting Models : A flood forecasting model will typically comprise of a hydrological component in which flood discharges are estimated from rainfall measurements and forecasts, and a hydrodynamic component, in which the water levels along the entire river network are calculated. Building-induced rainfall redistribution : Microtopography on the building roof direct the rainfall from roofs to the ground through the downspouts and transform the rainfall spatial distribution from plane to points. This is known as Building Induced Rainfall Redistribution(BIRR). Wildfire Impacts : Ater or during a wildfire the unknowns associated with such events are its effects on vegetation and soil conditions that influence hydrologic processes including infiltration, surface runoff, erosion, sediment transport, and flooding. At the time of development of the hydrologic models, such impacts need to be consid...

Micro-Submarine for Water Quality Monitoring

Idea : Sub-Water Marine System For Under Water Quality Monitoring. Sub-Water Marine System: Sub-water marine systems i.e., underwater vehicles allow the exploration of the ocean depths and vast regions of the seafloor. Water Quality Monitoring :  Water quality and wastewater monitoring are fundamental tools in the management of freshwater resources and they provide essential information characterizing the physical, chemical, and/or biological status of water resources, determining trends and changes over time, and identifying emerging water quality issues. Area of Application/Consumers : Shipping, Tourism, Hotel, Water Park Industries.  Underwater vehicle systems can be prepared and special sensors can be developed and fixed in the vehicles to monitor the underwater quality which will be beneficial for Shipping, Tourism, hotels, Water Park, etc. Industries. The vehicle should be small and remotely controlled and must have autoresponse systems to mitigate or alert about the haz...

Startup Idea : Bioinspired Remote Monitoring Systems

Idea : Remote Monitoring Systems of Discharge with the help of Bioinspired Algorithms to create Early Warning Signals. Remote Monitoring Systems : Remote monitoring and control (M&C) systems are designed to control large or complex facilities such as factories, power plants, network operations centers, airports, and spacecraft, with some degree of automation. Bioinspired Algorithms : The bio-inspired algorithms are broadly classified as evolutionary algorithms, which are based on Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest and natural selection, and swarm intelligence algorithms, which are based on behavioral models of social creatures such as ants, honey bees, fireflies, fish, birds, etc. Early Warning Systems : Early warning systems help to reduce economic losses and mitigate the number of injuries or deaths from a disaster, by providing information that allows individuals and communities to protect their lives and property. Area of Application/Consumers of the Device : ...

Five new topics for your internship

During the vacations, one can utilize their leisure time doing a research project. Incumbent can contact an expert and decide on which topic she/he can pursue the project. The end result can be manifold which includes but not limited to: a publication in a journal/conference; a patent; an innovative idea for doing business or a monograph which highlights the journey from the idea in the paper to the lab and ultimately in use for the benefit of mankind.  Following ideas are developed, keeping in mind that such leisure time is small and limited. The proposed designs can be accomplished within a short time and if one can devote around 4 to 5 hours. The reward will depend on the sincerity and seriousness of the researcher. The selected five ideas are entirely new and have never been tried before. An acknowledgement in the articles that one can publish after successful completion of the projects will be enough for the author of this blog. Title : Selection of Optimal Quality Water for S...
