Water Energy Nexus








Jobs/Vacancy

May 9 2021: Master’s or PhD Assistantship in WEF Nexus research in urban farming systems at UDC
The University of the District Columbia (UDC) is seeking a PhD or Master’s student to be appointed as a Research Assistant to conduct Water-Energy-Food Nexus research in urban farming systems with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Science (CAUSES), beginning Summer or Fall 2021.


May 9 2021: SRI2021: Early Career Fund now available for young professionals

"The Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2021 (SRI2021) has created a dedicated Early Career Fund which will support young professionals to participate in the event virtually or in-person if the country of residence is Australia. SRI2021is the world’s first transdisciplinary gathering in sustainability – it will be a space of fierce advocacy for sustainability scholarship, innovation, collaboration, and action and will feature sessions on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus."

Case Study

May 9 2021:"Owini, a company in the Mitrelli Group, implemented an innovative water desalination system based entirely on solar energy, within the village Ombala"

"The province is characterized by extensive and arid territories and was hit by a severe drought that the region has endured since 2018. The water desalination system is able to conserve the energy produced during the day, and allows continuous operation of pumping and supplying water to the community around the clock."

Retention Change Indicator

Watershed retain water from rainfall within its soil pores and depressions available in the basin. If this capacity of retention get receeded there will be stress on the supply of both water and food to dependent consumers. Check, whether the watershed on which you are staying maintains a healthy retention capacity ? A new tool will help you to ascertain the same and make you prepared for the uncertainties that may come if the retention capacity of your watershed has changed negatively. Get the tool from www.baipatra.ws Thanks, Mrinmoy

20 Important Fluid Mechanics MCQs for GATE and Engineering Interviews—with Answers and Explanations

Click here to access the full post : https://hydrogeek.substack.com/p/interviewgate-questions-on-fluid?r=c8bxy Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Q1. A Newtonian fluid has a dynamic viscosity of 0.5 Pa·s and a shear rate of 20 s⁻¹ at a point. What is the shear stress at that point? (a) 5 Pa (b) 10 Pa (c) 15 Pa (d) 25 Pa Answer: (b) 10 Pa — Shear stress = μ × (du/dy) = 0.5 × 20 = 10 Pa, following Newton’s law of viscosity. Q2. The pressure at a depth of 5 m below the free surface of water (density 1000 kg/m³) is approximately: (a) 5 kPa (b) 49 kPa (c) 98 kPa (d) 500 kPa Answer: (b) 49 kPa — Using , Pa ≈ 49 kPa. Q3. A cube of density 800 kg/m³ floats in water of density 1000 kg/m³. What fraction of the cube’s volume is submerged? (a) 0.6 (b) 0.7 (c) 0.8 (d) 0.9 Answer: (c) 0.8 — By Archimedes’ principle, submerged fraction = ρ_body/ρ_fluid = 800/1000 = 0.8. Q4. The excess pressure inside a spherical air bubble of radius r immersed in a liquid with surface tension σ is given by: (a) σ/r...
