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...

Autocorrelation in Water Resource Development

A new article was posted in HydroGeek : Five Most Recent Research Works on Autocorrelation in Water Resource Management Autocorrelation is the correlation between two part of a single data series and is useful when the trendability of a parameter is approximated with the help of data. Most used in water research study. This article highlights the most recent research works on the application of autocorrelation on water resource development studies.
