Use of Emerging Technologies in Disaster Management
Abstract: India, one of the most disaster-prone nations, faces increasing challenges from natural and man- made disasters. To address these risks, the country has developed a multi-tiered institutional framework, led by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and supported by state and local bodies. While these efforts provide a strong foundation, the integration of emerging technologies is reshaping disaster management. Technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), drones, and advanced early warning systems …

A Comparative Study of Inorganic and Natural Coagulants for Dairy Wastewater Treatment using Alum Sulphate and Moringa Oleifera
Abstract: The treatment of dairy wastewater is essential to reduce its environmental impact, particularly in terms of organic load and suspended solids. This study investigates the application of alum sulphate as an inorganic coagulant for dairy wastewater treatment and compares its effectiveness with the natural coagulant Moringa oleifera. The performance of both coagulants was evaluated based on key water quality parameters, including pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), …

Phytoremediation of Aquaculture Wastewater: Duckweed (Lemna minor L.) as a Phytoremediator
Abstract: Aquaculture systems discharge huge quantities of waste into the aquatic ecosystem, in the form of excretory products and excess feed. These have grave implications on physicochemical and biological quality of the receiving environment. The study aimed to determine potential of duckweed (Lemna minor L.) for phytoremediation of aquaculture effluent. Hundred grams (100 g) of duckweed was grown in 10 L aquaculture effluent for 7-, 14-, 21-, and 28-day retention period …
