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.

Area of Application/Consumers: Cultivators, Urban Farmers

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...

Impact of Climate Change on Virtual and Green Water Availability in Arid Regions

Project Idea : Impact of Climate Change on Virtual and Green Water Availability in Arid Regions Requirement : Hydro-metereological, Future Climate and Water Use Data, Knowledge about Predictive Hydrologic Models. Justification of the Study : Virtual Water is the amount of water used in industries as raw material and Green Water is the volume of water utilized in agriculture.The availability of both of them is important for socio-economic development of any region.As arid regions are characterized by water scarcity,such places will be more vulnerable to climate change impacts.As this two type of water use is important fror GDP of any region maintaining a minimum water volume for the said purposes will be important. Brief Methodology : After collecting the relevant data, a model can be prepared to predict the availability of water.Then based on the demand from the agriculture and industrial sector the availability of Virtual and Green Water under climate change can be estimated.Models l...

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...
