Linear Programming based Model for Design of Looped Water Distribution Networks with Redundancy
Abstract: A new linear programming based two-phased methodology is suggested for design of looped water distribution networks with redundancy. The redundancy is provided against failure of pipes and a network is designed to sustain failure of any one of the link without affecting nodal supplies in a part or full. In the first phase, network is designed under normal pipe working conditions for assumed flow distribution using linear programming. The performance …

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks for Rainfall-Runoff Modeling
Abstract: Rainfall-runoff process is purely nonlinear and varies spatially as well as temporally. Any hydrological model requires many parameters which represent different components of the process. Availability of all the parameters is difficult for any catchment and probabilistic generation of such type of data is impossible. Under such circumstances, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have proven to be a better tool to model the rainfall-runoff process with minimum available data. The present …

Catchment Pollution Potential and Pattern of Groundwater Quality
Abstract: Pollutants in groundwater can occur naturally or they can be introduced by various anthropogenic sources of pollution. Both point and non-point sources of pollution affect the quality of surface as well as ground water. As water infiltrates, solute concentrations are typically low. But after penetration their spatial extent follows a regional pattern that needs to be examined in detail. Hence, spatial pattern of important parameters of ground water quality obtained …

Exudation – An Advancement in Micro-Irrigation with Sub-Surface Drip Irrigation (Porous Pipe)
Abstract: The awareness has slowly been developed for careful and effective utilization of natural resources like water and energy. Exudation, i.e., sub-surface irrigation with porous pipe can be an efficient water-saving method of irrigation for many less developed arid and semi-arid regions. Sub-surface drip irrigation, i.e., SDI has been an important part of agricultural irrigation throughout the world. During last three decades, sub-surface irrigation system is being used owing to its …

Water Harvesting Through Application of Social Marketing Strategy –– A Case Study in Banwar Village, Madhya Pradesh, India
Abstract: AbstractThe present study was carried out in a dry tract of central plateau region (Banwar village, Madhya Pradesh, India) by a team of trainee scientists inducted for the National Agricultural Research System (NARS), India. Observations recorded in the village indicated the harsh effects of declining water table owing to poor precipitation and the need for water harvesting to sustain people’s livelihood since agriculture being their primary profession. Considering social marketing …
