M.Tech in Hydro-Informatics Engineering

Hydroinformatics?



National Institute of Technology Agartala(Tripura) is offering 2 years course on M.Tech in Hydro-Informatics Engineering. Graduates from Electrical, Mechanical, Civil and MSc students of Environment Engineering, GIS are eligible to apply.

If you have a valid GATE score, you can enrol through the Spot Round counselling which will be held online by the CCMT.

The course is nine years old and the passed out students are either doing PhD in a reputed institute like IIT Roorkee, IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Ropar etc.or have been appointed as Assistant Professor in different colleges like University of Engineering and Management(Kol), Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology(Kol) etc. Few students have also cracked the campus interview to join in L&T, Infosys etc.

But according to the course coordinator, the School of Hydro-Informatics Engg., which is conducting the course, wants a student who is interested in doing research in interdisciplinary topics. As for example, climate change, natural resource management, fluvial hydraulics, water and energy efficiency, hydropower development,water-energy nexus, data science and AI&ML in water resources management etc.

There is ample scope of novel research where multi-disciplinary people can work under the same roof to carry out problem-solving exercises in mitigating various hazards and avoiding disasters due to the climatic impacts on the water resources. Studies for providing optimal solutions to present uncertainty in the energy sector along with numerous multi-criteria decision-making studies are also conducted.

In the syllabus new subjects like Hydro-Informatics Engg, Natural Resources Management and old topics like Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Principle of Water Resources etc. are included.

Tools like GIS, WaterCAD, GMDH etc. and new age data science techniques like nature-based algorithms like Ant colony, Bat, Swarm etc., Multi-Criteria Decision Making are also taught during the course.

The lab page can be found at Research Gate.

Students who want to pursue their career in research are welcome to apply for this course.

Eight most common impurities observed in water supplied to domestic households

The water supplied to domestic households has many types of contaminants which have the potential to create health irregularities in the consumer family. Among these contaminants, eight most common impurities were identified, and the type of filter which can remove or reduce them was delineated in the figure. Before procuring a water filter remember to see this chart. It will help to understand the impurities that the selected water filter can remove. Any water filters available in the market are generally made of one or more of these filters. To decide wisely use the concepts of MCDM to select your filters. Compare the filters available in the market with respect to Cost, Contaminant Removal Efficiency, Maintenance requirement, and type of filters used and rate each filter based on these factors with the help of AHP or ANP techniques. The result will be the filter that will be most efficient for your use. You can also use the ODM tool to come to a decision regarding the procurement o...

Five open source free hydrologic models that you can use to model runoff of micro to macro watersheds

The principal objective of hydrologic models is to forecast the runoff of a surface water body, especially dendritic systems like rivers, streams, etc. The inputs to these models are generally Rainfall/Precipitation, Soil Characteristics, and other Climatic parameters like evapotranspiration, humidity, etc. LULC and geo-morphology are also used as the required input parameters of the hydrologic models. Both input and output of these models are temporally as well as spatially variable. Now the resolution varies with different models. Some models consider all the sub-basins to be a single watershed and determine the output based on the characteristics of this single watershed(lumped).In contrast, some other models will consider the {impact|effect} of each of the sub-basins on the central outflow of the watershed(distributed).In a few models, the entire watershed is divided into grids or units of uniform dimension. However, the accuracy is highest for the models, which considers the {impa...
