Why multidisciplinary studies like hydrology and informatics are important for the future?



To ensure a sustainable future, graduates should be knowledgeable in all branches, including Civil and Military Engineering, which will always have problems that graduates will be required to solve. Knowledge of these branches is essential for their careers, as they will be required to solve problems like optimization of power generation, minimization of losses in different electrical/mechanical/civil systems. Data science and Artificial Intelligence can help achieve this, and implementing Machine Learning Codes with the Internet of Things (IoT) can make the system smart.

The best choice for graduates is to take any one branch at the time of graduation, followed by a post-graduation course that teaches AI/ML/DS/IoT. Additionally, pursuing a Ph.D. in a field that applies modern techniques to solve basic engineering problems will ensure a job and a sustainable future.

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 Latest MCDM Techniques to solve Decision Making Problems

PDF / Video / Slide In recent years the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Making(MCDM) Techniques has increased rapidly in every discipline to solve decision-making problems by an objective procedure. The MCDM techniques are rapidly used and modified for optimal problem solving and to reduce the convergence time. What is the MCDM concept? Many brief tutorials on the MCDM concept are available on the internet. You can visit my introduction to the MCDM video also for a short and simple explanation about the MCDMs and their need in today's research. However, this post is not about the concepts or basic working principles , or the strengths and weaknesses of the concept. This post is about the most recent MCDM techniques which are now widely used for solving decision support problems in nearly all disciplines. Generally, by MCDM, we understand the techniques invented by Saaty and known as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This compensatory method of MCDM is popularly utilized for app...
