Seven Most Promising Trends of Research that can create A World with Sustainable Future


View as PowerPoint Slide / Video

Due to various atrocities with the natural resources of the World, the global equilibrium has been compromised. To resist and revert to our sustainable future, our topic of research must move towards projects with sustainable innovation. To create the "World with Sustainable Future", the entry-level researchers must march towards sustainability not only to accomplish their career goals but to develop projects that can ensure our future generation about their comfortable co-existence. The seven most promising trend that is depicted below indicates where we must encourage our innovators to innovate, such that the World become sustainable for its future.

1)Climate positivity

How to become climate positive?

Climate Positive means to become Carbon Neutral, by controlling greenhouse gas emissions that one is generating. According to Go Climate Positive, there are 2 ways you can do this: 1) By offsetting your carbon footprint and 2)by preventing others from emitting Carbon.

2)Natural Alternative to Plastic Bottles

How we can make Drinking Water Bottles from Organics?

The bottle is made from natural bioplastic that could replace plastic bottles. How to make the bottle sustainable? The cap to the wrapper is made from 100% biodegradable materials. Such bottles can be recycled completely and will also not harm the environment or add to the plastic wastes. Example: Veganbotttle.


3)Regenerative agriculture

How to practice regenerative agriculture?

An increase in CO2 emissions by the various industries like food production, lifestyle, fashion, etc, is one of the major causes of global warming. However, natural solutions to remove carbon from the atmosphere can offset the impact of increased GHGs in the atmosphere. Regenerative Farming is supposed to be one such solution.

4)Bioswales

How to make BioSwales?

Incorporating stormwater retention areas or bioswales to prevent runoff for smart management of water has the goal to recharge groundwater.

Wise water management with smart landscape planning has the potential to become one of the most sought-after research topics in the coming decade.

5)Protection of Coastal Erosion

How to protect coastal regions with innovative multi-use income-generating structures? 

Due to uncontrolled extraction of natural resources and ever-growing population and their burgeoning demand for luxury has imbibed and encouraged the conversion of land use and reduction of land cover. Result of which is wide-scale erosion of soil cover among other vulnerabilities. Especially, in the case of the coastal zone, erosion has increased manifold. This has created a huge demand for developing protective structures to prevent coastal erosion.TetraPot is one such example.


6)Self-filling Water bottles

How to save water by innovative practices?

A self-filling water bottle can solve the problem of water scarcity all over the World. This system can convert humid air into water by condensing moist air by a chamber that can be imparted inside the water bottle. Fontus system has developed such bottles that can harvest around 0.8 liters of water from the air in under one hour in the right climatic conditions.

7)Water Quality Monitoring Instruments

How can we prepare optimal but economical smart monitoring systems for water treatment industries?

To achieve SDGs water quality need to be monitored properly. High-temporal frequency monitoring with in situ water-quality sensors was made possible by innovations in four major areas of science and technology: (1) the instrument revolution (2) digital electronic data devices(3) computerized databases and software systems  (4) the Internet to disseminate(Myers,2019) . However much more is expected such that the cost for the same can be reduced within the reach of the needy.

Five indices that you can use along with GIS to identify Drought

Drought can not be defined as Flood. No single definition is available for drought. The beginning and end of drought are difficult to identify.  Drought can be, however, identified through various indicators such as rainfall, snowpack, streamflow, and more, and these indicators can be used to monitor drought. Different scientists and researchers have developed various indices to help determine the onset, severity, and end of droughts. Drought indices are multiparameter and based on long or short duration observation of data for such parameters which help them create a comprehensible big picture. A drought index value is typically a single number that is calculated based on the data of input parameters generally rainfall, snowpack, evapotranspiration, etc., and is interpreted on a scale of abnormally wet, average, and abnormally dry.( Reference ) The video below elaborates the concept : Although drought is very difficult to determine the significance of drought in agriculture, water...

Five examples of Water Collected from Air

Video Link :  https://youtu.be/AVQJCH-6psg Water from Air is a new concept for the conservation of water by adopting a source that is uncommon and renewable. The most abundant source of freshwater is the Earth’s atmosphere. When atmospheric humidity condenses, it falls as rain. This natural process of condensation is replicated by adopting different technologies, which allows it to make water continuously, even in low humidity conditions. Here are the examples : 1) Airowater Dewpoint Smart "The Airowater Dewpoint Smart is one of the smaller units designed to ensure portability. This unit can make up to 20 litres per day in relative humidity and is also equipped to use city water as the input source to deal with a sudden increase in demand!" 2) Rainmaker "Rainmaker’s Air-to-Water units produce drinking water from the air – no other water source is required. " It uses a turbine that forces air through a heat exchanger, where the air is cooled and condensation takes pl...

How to separate baseflow from Total Storm Runoff ?

In hydrological studies, baseflow separation plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of water movement within a watershed. It allows researchers to identify the portion of streamflow that is sustained by groundwater discharge, which is important for assessing the availability and sustainability of water resources. Additionally, baseflow separation helps in determining the contribution of groundwater to streamflow during dry periods or droughts, providing valuable insights for water allocation and planning purposes.  Click here to access the tutorial : https://youtu.be/yvjm5YAc8H4 You may also like : HydroGeek: The newsletter for researchers of water resources https://hydrogeek.substack.com/ Baipatra VSC: Enroll for online courses for Free http://baipatra.ws Energy in Style: Participate in Online Internships for Free http://energyinstyle.website Innovate S: Online Shop for Water Researchers https://baipatra.stores.instamojo.com/ Call for Paper: International Journal of H...
