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.

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.

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...

Selection of Optimal Quality Water for Specific Uses by ANN-MCDM based Auto-Selector

Project Idea : Selection of Optimal Quality Water for Specific Uses by ANN-MCDM based Auto-Selector Requirement : Knowledge of photo-sensors,Artifiicial Neural Network,Multi-Criteria Decision Making. Justification of the Study : The change in the climate pattern,pollution concentration in the air and water,ever growing demand and lastly the uncontrolled extraction of natural resources has induced a situation where the amount of water demanded,available and usable has noticeable level of difference.That is why day by day water is becoming scarce and consumers has to ensure proper measures for optimal utilization of the resource.An automatic selector which can seperate water based on its quality specific uses may help to control misuse of the resource. Brief Methodology : Relationship between water quality and its uses must be determined first.The MCDM techniques can be devised to decide about the quality of water for specific use.After correlation is determined some sensors ...
