How the waterways were used for transportain in the seventeenth century ?





The history of transportation is largely the history of material progress. It is difficult to imagine a prosperous society without the knowledge of the arts and sciences for commerce. The natural arrangement of land and water is not the most convenient for commerce and travel, as oceans and seas have unsuitable routes, and rivers are often rocky and shallow. Knowledge of roads, bridges, and canals has been acquired and slowly applied, but the aboriginal inhabitants of a country usually cared for none of these things.

Man eventually established a system of interchange of commodities, which led to the creation of roadways over which traffic could be rudely transported on the backs of mules, horses, or other beasts of burden. As exchange and barter extended, the pack-horse became inefficient, and districts near the sea or placed on navigable rivers with easy access to the ocean became developed at the expense of other districts with equal facilities except transport.

This book that I am discussing about was written in 1890 and it discusses about the water transportation systems of seventeenth century. Keeping in view of the today's demand for more and more road for transportation one can have an idea about how waterways can be used as an alternative transportation system.

Seven Most Tenable Application of Artificial Intelligence on Water Resource Management Problems

AI or Artificial Intelligence is a pioneering technique that has enabled the creation of intelligent machines. or smart machines which have the power to self adapt based on the situation presented to them. It requires situations whose response is known and based on this training data set it learns the problems which it has to solve when it is ready. Due to the alarming success with AI in robotics, electronics, etc fields the same technique is now used to solve the problems of water resource management. This ppt shows the seven most notable use of AI in water resources-based problems where satisfactory improvement has encouraged the further application of the technique.

Hydroinformatics to make farms SMART

Smart farming focuses on increasing farm productivity through the use of technology - both hardware and software. Smart farming is concerned with the management of farms, plantations, and all associated farming activities through the use of IoT, drones, robotics, machinery, and artificial intelligence to determine a path to predictable farm output. Smart farming is concerned with the management of farm activities through the use of data obtained from various sources (historical, geographical, and instrumental). Technological advancement does not necessarily imply that a system is intelligent. Smart agriculture technologies distinguish themselves by their ability to collect and analyze data. Smart farming uses hardware (Internet of Things) and software (Software as a Service or SaaS) to collect data and provide actionable insights to manage all farm operations, both pre and post-harvest. Hydroinformatics, on the other hand, is a subject that deals with the application of data science an...
