Importance of Water Budget Equation

Cover Feature
The Water Balance or Budget Equation can be treated as the mother of all types of hydro-metereological equations.The equation is derived from Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy and states that inflow of water is equal to outflow of the same.If there exist an unequality,then it will contribute to the existing storage of water of the region.Precipitation and Inflows are accounted under Inflow and Runoff,Ground Water Outflow(contributed by infiltration) and Evapo-Transpiration is treated as Outflow.We can find any one of the variables from the equation if the other ones are already known.
Feature 1	Subsurface Return Flow can be defined as that amount of water which ex-filtrate back to the surface after being infiltrated in the up-slope portion of the hill.
Feature 2	Dosear is a new mind map generation tool made exclusively for academic people.It has the features like importing reference from journal papers even from the pdf; automatic suggestions of related manuscripts from the topic of your mind map, etc.Download it from : http://www.docear.org/software/download/

Clean Hydro Surge: India’s New Small Hydro Policy and Top Water Innovations This Week

This post reports on the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s launch of a new Small Hydro Policy, designed to boost clean energy generation in North East India by tapping into the region's vast hydro potential. It highlights major hydro projects—such as the Upper Karnali initiative, accelerated hydropower development in Himachal Pradesh, and international advancements like Japan's first tidal grid connection and U.S. wave energy breakthroughs. The roundup also reviews global climate resilience initiatives, urgent water pollution challenges (from mercury and microplastics to algal blooms), and digital innovations in water informatics and AI, all shaping the future of water resources management and sustainable engineering Click here to know more.

What's New in Hydroinformatics Engineering ?

1 “Flood peaks in Mid-Atlantic U.S. watersheds show a V-shaped response to urbanization: they decrease at low urban development (below 10% PDAW), then rise sharply as urbanization increases further due to complex climate-landscape interactions. A neural network model confirmed this nonlinear behavior, underscoring the need to consider more than just urban area when predicting flood risk.”…..Hua et.al.(2025). Click here to know more. 2 “Artificial neural network (ANN) models using climate indices outperformed ARIMA models for long-term streamflow forecasting at six Victorian stations, with the best ANN achieving Pearson R = 0.90, RMSE = 0.04, and MAE = 2.50 for six-month advance prediction. ANN’s superior accuracy highlights its suitability for operational streamflow forecasts in this region.ANN models using lagged climate indices significantly outperformed ARIMA models for forecasting streamflow at Victoria’s stations, especially at Acheron where the ANN achieved Pearson R = 0.90,...

Five most innovative and sustainable water bottles

Cover Feature: Five most innovative water bottles selected by ODM V2 Five most innovative water bottles Water bottles are now becoming smart. Recently launched water bottles have the capability to track your hydration level and can remind you to drink water when the hydration level is below a predefined level. Some water bottles can either increase or decrease the temperature of the water in the container. Some alternatives come with blue tooth speaker/stirrer/fuser/wifi etc electronic devices. Some variation of smart water bottles has the ability to self-purify when needed. Here in this feature, we try to find the most innovative smart water bottles that are available on the eCommerce sites with the help of ODM. Now let us continue with the regular features : News about Sustainability Audi e-tron's used batteries in e-rickshaws by Nunam A new study finds inactive yeast could be effective as an inexpensive, abundant, and simple material for removing lead contamination from drinking...
