Experimental Analysis of a Portable Solar Water Distillation System
Abstract: We know that water available in National Capital Region of Delhi India is contaminated and have high hardness, so it cannot be used directly for industrial purpose. So I have made an attempt to get the distilled water of lower hardness with the help of solar energy. Experimental result of a double slope single basin solar distiller is explained in this paper. The motivation for this project is the conversion …

Site Suitability Analysis for Artificial Recharge of Groundwater using GIS and Remote Sensing Techniques: A Study of Mandya District, Karnataka, India
Abstract: The present work is conducted to identify the artificial recharge sites for recharging the groundwater level using GIS and Remote sensing techniques. The scarcity of ground water is keep on increasing day by day due to anthropogenic activities includes decrease in land cover and increase in land use, but the climatic conditions are also severely affected and results in decrease in rainfall and increase in land surface temperature. Most of …

Hydroelectricity Generation by the Recycling of Water
Abstract: The global world is hungry for more energy continuously which has resulted in extra burden to both renewable and non-renewable energy resources. As we know electrical appliances are increasing and the demand of electricity is also increasing. And the time is not far away when we will not have sufficient electricity to run these appliances and water to generate electricity because declining of water level is also continuous day by …

Estimation of Discharge Over the Compound Sharp-Crested Weir using Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Programming
Abstract: Truncated sharp crested weirs are used to measure flow rate and to control water surface upstream, in irrigation canals and laboratory flumes. The main advantages of such weirs are, ease of construction and capability of measuring a wide range of flows with sufficient accuracy. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic programming (GP) have recently been used for the estimation of hydraulic data. In this study, they were used as alternative …

Water Quality Changes in Balu River during Non-Monsoon and Monsoon Period
Abstract: Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is surrounded by numerous rivers and canals, such as Turag, Buriganga, Dhaleswari, Balu, and Shitalakshya. Among those, Balu river is one of the important water resources to supply drinking water for Dhaka metropolitan area (DMA), which is the 11thlargest city in the world. Nearly 14 million people reside in DMA. Major industrial zones in and around Dhaka are disposing untreated water directly in Balu river …
