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. Think about it.

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...

Five project ideas for "Hydroinformatics in Groundwater"

In recent years, advanced soft computation techniques such as Multi-Criteria Decision Making and Geographical Information Systems have been widely used to solve water resource development problems. Hydroinformatics (Hydro means Hydrus or water, and informatics means information science) is a branch of science concerned with the application of advanced soft computation techniques and information and communication technologies (ICTs) to water-related problems. The following are five hydro informatics project topics that can be applied to groundwater problems.

How to apply optimization techniques to water resource problems?

"Maximizing or minimizing some function comparative to some set, often demonstrating a range of choices available in a certain situation. The function allows evaluation of the different choices for determining which might be “best.”....Definition of optimization. In optimization, we try to maximize/minimize/achieve a target value by changing some variables of an objective equation. Optimization is used to solve problems in a multidisciplinary field including water resources. The problems like solving multi-reservoir optimization, water allocation problems, economic optimization of water-based systems, performance optimization of water treatment plants, etc. can be easily solved by the application of various classical and new optimization techniques. If you search on the internet, especially through Sciencedirect or Springer Portals you will find multiple papers on the Optimization Technique and its application to water resource problems For example, the following are some of the c...
