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.

Eight most common impurities observed in water supplied to domestic households

The water supplied to domestic households has many types of contaminants which have the potential to create health irregularities in the consumer family. Among these contaminants, eight most common impurities were identified, and the type of filter which can remove or reduce them was delineated in the figure. Before procuring a water filter remember to see this chart. It will help to understand the impurities that the selected water filter can remove. Any water filters available in the market are generally made of one or more of these filters. To decide wisely use the concepts of MCDM to select your filters. Compare the filters available in the market with respect to Cost, Contaminant Removal Efficiency, Maintenance requirement, and type of filters used and rate each filter based on these factors with the help of AHP or ANP techniques. The result will be the filter that will be most efficient for your use. You can also use the ODM tool to come to a decision regarding the procurement o...

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.

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...
