Start Up Idea or Internship : Underwater Image Processing Services to Unviel Landuse and Landcover below Water Level

Click here to learn more In the 1850s, the British became fascinated with microscopes, with Robert Hooke's Micrographia gaining popularity. Samuel Pepys, a wealthy reader, was able to afford a microscope. However, microscopes remained out of reach for amateurs until the Victorian era. Agnes Catlow's "Drops of Water; Their Marvellous and Beautiful Inhabitants Displayed by The Microscope" (1851) introduced the unseen world of animalcules, allowing amateurs to explore the invisible world.

Fisheries of River Matla Causing Flood in the River Matla

There is a bad practice going on in the Rivers of India. We are using it for pisciculture but to do that we are restricting the flow path of the rivers. As a result, the width of the rivers is reducing. Look at the following video. This is River Matla. It flows into River Bidyadhari and ultimately to the Bay of Bengal. It is also connected to the Waste Water Channels of Kolkata Metro City. All the wastewater from Kolkata falls into River Kulti, then to Matla, and ultimately to the Bay of Bengal. As the width of the river is narrowing due to the encroachments for pisciculture, if rainfall with a 100-year return period takes place in Kolkata then the entire watershed, including Kolkata, can be submerged into its “own” waste.

How to use Goodrich Flood Routing Method for Predicting Outflow Hydrograph of a Reservoir ?

A mathematical method called the Goodrich Method of Flood Routing is used to forecast how much water would flow through a river or channel during a flood. When determining the downstream water flow rate, the channel's geometry, roughness, and slope are all considered. With the use of this technique, hydrologists and engineers can better evaluate the possible effects of flooding and decide how best to safeguard infrastructure and populations. It makes more precise flood prevention measures possible by properly predicting the behaviour of water under different situations. In order to better inform strategies for sustainable development, the Goodrich Method also evaluates how land use patterns affect the likelihood of flooding. It is a flexible tool for planning for and responding to disasters.

Level Pool Routing Hydrologic Routing for Reservoir or Level Pool Routing Hydrologic routing predicts the flow of water through a river system, whereas level pool routing focuses on the changes in water levels in reservoirs or lakes. However, Level Pool Routing is referred to as Hydrologic Routing of the Reservoirs as the water level of the reservoir is assumed to be horizontal or level at the time of prediction of the outflow hydrograph. Understanding and managing water resources in a variety of settings, from metropolitan regions to natural landscapes, requires the use of both approaches. Taking into account several elements that can affect water flow, such as precipitation, evaporation, and runoff, is a crucial part of hydrologic routing. Hydrologists can develop models that mimic how water flows through a river system in various scenarios by examining these variables. Predicting floods, controlling water supply, and safeguarding ecosystems that depend on a constant flow of water al

How to apply Cat Swarm Optimization Techniques in real life optimization problems ?

Techniques known as "Cat Swarm Optimisation" (CSO) are based on an optimization algorithm inspired by nature and the collective behavior of cats. CSO mimics the cooperation and communication among a group of cats to tackle complex optimization issues. It is inspired by the hunting behavior and social interactions of cats. These methods' capacity to efficiently explore broad search spaces and identify ideal answers has drawn a lot of attention in recent years. The capacity of CSO approaches to managing high-dimensional and non-linear optimization issues is one of its main benefits. Because of this, they can be used in a variety of industries and domains, including data mining, engineering, and finance. Furthermore, CSO algorithms are renowned for their resilience and capacity to function in unpredictable and noisy conditions.

Lecture Series on Water Resources Routing Part I

In water resource engineering, routing is an essential technique for forecasting the flow and distribution of water within a body of water. It entails analyzing flow rates, channel characteristics, and topography to determine water travel. Engineers can effectively manage water resources, including flood control, irrigation, and hydropower generation, by having a solid understanding of routing. It makes it possible to evaluate the effects of water flow accurately and to make well-informed decisions about the construction of infrastructure and flood mitigation techniques. Additionally, routing maximizes the distribution of water for irrigation, guaranteeing a sufficient supply and reducing waste. Reliable systems for gathering and tracking data are necessary for efficient routing tactics. Potential fixes can help get past obstacles in the way of implementing routing techniques. The first lecture in my series on routing is this one. You may also like : HydroGeek: The newsletter for rese

How to use dynamic soaring by the Albatrosses in optimization?

What is dynamic soaring? The dynamic soaring mainly consists of four phases. Upward Bind Upward Climb Downward Bind Downward Dive This four-phase consists of a cycle which is referred to as Rayleigh’s Cycles as he was the first to identify this phenomenon by Albatrosses during their long-time flights. For more details refer to Richardson( 2011 & 2014 ), Uesaka et.al.( 2023 ), etc. Criteria of Dynamic Soaring In general, albatross soaring can be accomplished under the following conditions: (1) no wind, no waves, no soaring;(2) Wave-slope soaring can be accomplished in swell without wind; (3) Wind–shear soaring can be accomplished in wind without waves. What is Wind Shear Soaring? The average wind speed typically rises with height, starting at almost zero at the ocean's surface. Within about two meters of the water's surface, a thin boundary layer has the greatest vertical wind velocity gradient (largest wind shear) (Fig. 2). In this narrow wind–shear boundary layer close t
