Five most significant findings of the week related to water resources

Five Most Significant Finding from Water Resources of the week



"Sediment cores taken from the Southern Ocean dating back 23 million years are providing insight into how ancient methane escaping from the seafloor could have led to regional or global climate and environmental changes, according to a new study."


"Scientists analyzing one of the largest genomic datasets of plants have discovered how the first plants on Earth evolved the mechanisms used to control water and 'breathe' on land hundreds of millions of years ago. The study has important implications in understanding how to plant water transport systems have evolved and how these might adapt in the future in response to climate change."


"A new analysis of the River Ganges in West Bengal, India, highlights how wastewater flowing into the river impacts its water quality, and how that influences shifts with seasons and tides."


"MIT researchers have developed a solar-powered desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In this schematic, a confined water layer above the floating thermal insulation enables simultaneous thermal localization and salt rejection."


"Cuba strengthens capacities for the management of its water resources in the face of climate change
Cuba, a small island developing country, faces the threat of climate change, based on its peculiar environmental characteristics. Its geographical location, configuration, and morphology make it highly vulnerable to climate phenomena capable of compromising the availability of freshwater which, as recalled by Tatiana Villegas, Specialist of Culture and Science Programs of UNESCO Regional Office for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean:"

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...
