Water Research Ideas

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 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...

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...

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 : ...
