Spatial Distribution and Health Risk Assessment of Pesticide Residues in Groundwater of a Condensed Agricultural Area in Punjab (India)By Sharanpreet Singh, Siby John
Abstract: Modern agricultural practices involve an increased use of pesticides to meet the food demand of increasing population which results in contamination of the environment. An experimental protocol to monitor the presence of pesticide residues in groundwater of Sangrur, Punjab (India), an intense agricultural area, was undertaken as part of the study. Liquid–liquid extraction followed by gas chromatographic detection was used for the determination of pesticide residues. It was found that …

Assessment of the Potential of Permeable Concrete using Blast Furnace Slag in Treating the Highway Side Storm WaterBy Anubhav Uniyal, Siby John
Abstract: Storm water from highway side contains organic and inorganic pollutants including significant amount of heavy metals which need to be treated before the storm water is let into the natural water bodies. In this study, the potential of pervious concrete using blast furnace slag was assessed for pollutants removal from the highway side storm water. Removal efficiencies in respect of nitrate, phosphate, chemical oxygen demand (COD), TSS, lead, chromium, nickel …

GIS Based Storm Water Management System for Rapidly Growing Urban Areas: A Case StudyBy Shivani Sood, Vibhor Sood, Siby John
Abstract: Rapid urbanization and changing land use have resulted in changes in the quality and quantity of urban runoff. A correlation between changes in land use and characteristics of urban runoff has been established. Therefore, there is a need to evolve a suitable dynamic system for stormwater management of rapidly growing urban areas. This paper demonstrates the use of remote sensing combined with GIS to model and manage stormwater in a …

Avalanche Hazard Mapping along Manali-patsio Road Axis (Himachal Pradesh, India) Using Advanced Geo-Informatics TechniquesBy Pratibha Sauparna, Siby John
Abstract: Avalanche occurrence is quite a hazardous and unpredictable natural phenomenon. A large number of factors that are associated with its occurrence make it quite difficult to assess hazard in hilly areas. There are two main groups of variables that define the avalanche hazard – meteorological conditions and terrain characteristics. Due to the stable nature along the time, terrain parameters are easier to map. The purpose of this work is to …
