Seven Active Internship Opportunities in Hydroinformatics Engineering

Seven Active Internship Opprotunies in Hydroinformatics Engineering

Internship opportunities in Hydroinformatics

There are a variety of internship opportunities available in the field of Hydroinformatics Engineering. The list below contains the most relevant internship opportunities from India and around the world. The list is not sorted and arranged at random. You can use ODM to rank the opportunities and arrange them as needed.

H2i

The Singapore Delft Water Alliance (SDWA), a Center of Excellence that conducted a wide range of research in urban and coastal water resource management and disseminated its findings on a national and international scale, served as the basis for H2i. This company accepts interns year-round and on an application basis.


UNU-INWEH

Using open Earth data, UNU-INWEH has created a Historical Flood Mapping tool that generates inundation maps for significant floods in the Global South from 1984 to the present and is currently looking for an intern to help us create a Flood Risk Index. For cities, districts, and river basins, FRI will provide current flood risk estimates. The FRI will be constructed using HFMT inundation maps and open-access datasets such as population density, building footprint, elevation, GDP, land use, poverty maps, and meteorological and hydrological data.


UIHI Lab

Dr. Ibrahim Demir (team) founded UIHILab at the University of Iowa, with many collaborators from around the world. UIHILab is a community platform that brings together researchers and educators to work on hydroinformatics projects. This lab accepts interns year around.


Western States Water Council (Murray, UT)

The Western States Water Council (WSWC) is looking for an engineering intern with experience in hydroinformatics and application development to work part-time (up to 34 hours per week) in its Murray, Utah office for the Fall 2019 semester (September to December or January and potentially to May 2020).


Conservation International Intern

As a Conservation International Intern, he/she will gain experience at the cutting edge of conservation, solve challenges that come with working in developing countries, implement creative solutions, and learn from inspiring leaders. Interns will have the opportunity to interact with a variety of stakeholders, ranging from the government to local community members and businesses, in order to better understand how successful conservation occurs when people work together.

Internships are available throughout the year. All internships offered in 2022 will be based in Singapore due to COVID-19 precautions. Applicants must go through a selection process and commit to working for a minimum of three months. Students enrolled in Singapore universities or polytechnics are eligible for the University Internship Program.


Advantage

Advantage is a start-up that is solely focused on the public sector. The company started in 2017 with small contracts with local governments, and presently serves clients from all over the country. The interns' primary responsibility will be to conduct site assessments to determine the environmental impact of commercial activity.

Improving environmental conservation management in areas such as recycling, public health, and water and air pollution Environmental best practices consulting and advice to policymakers


Sadhana Forest

Sadhana Forest is a non-profit organization dedicated to reforestation, water conservation, environmental education, and living sustainably. It is in Auroville, Tamil Nadu, not far from Pondicherry. We welcome interns, students, and volunteers from all over India and the world. We are an international organization with locations in Haiti and Kenya. 

Throughout the year, this organization accepts interns. Interns are housed on campus and participate in community activities. They assist with reforestation and water conservation efforts and are also expected to participate in daily chores. There is also the opportunity to help in our animal sanctuary and 'Children's Land,' a space where we regularly host groups of local children. We are reforesting 70 acres of heavily eroded land with the goal of restoring the native 'tropical dry evergreen forest.'


This list is prepared to provide an idea about the available active internship opportunities. Readers may apply and enroll for these scopes as the implementation of data science is now rapidly expanding its base and it is very common to read literatures where informatics is applied to solve the problems of water resource development.

How to calculate Water Quality Index considering the source type,intended use and climate ?

This WQI's primary innovation is that it calculates the WQI based on the type of source from which water is collected, the WQI's intended use, and the local climate at the time the samples were retrieved. The source or location from where the sample is collected has an impact on the quality of water which the index must incorporate at the time of calculation. The purpose for which the water quality index is calculated changes the weightage of the importance of the different quality parameters. For example, if WQI is calculated for knowing how drinkable the sample is then the weightage of coliform will increase compared to other parameters as the presence of coliform in the drinking water can not be permitted. The climate of the area from where the water is collected is another criterion to consider at the time of calculating the WQI. Based on the climate also the weightage of water quality parameters will vary. There will be a difference in the weight of importance if the sampl...

Five Most Extreme Hydrologic Events that changed the World

Typhoon Tip, Philipines(Collected from : CSMonitor ) Devastating storms, severe flood, acute famine conditions, etc. hydrological events of extreme nature has changed human history. Any event which is not normal is known as an abnormal event. In the case of hydrology, an event that has a return period of more than 100 years is considered Extreme. According to Herring(2020) of Climate.gov, "An extreme event is a time and place in which weather, climate, or environmental conditions—such as temperature, precipitation, drought, or flooding—rank above a threshold value near the upper or lower ends of the range of historical measurements." Though the threshold is not objective, few researchers have defined "extreme events as those that occur in the highest or lowest 5% or 10% of historical measurements". Some have described events by their deviation from the mean, or by their occurrence interval.   Here the most severe five extreme hydrologic events were discussed which ...

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...
