Trends Analysis of Temperature and Rainfall over Nguru, a Floodplain of Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands, Nigeria
Abstract: Abstract:This paper present the trends of meteorological parameters over Nguru, floodplain of Hadejia- Nguru Wetlands, Nigeria, with the aim of revealing increasing or decreasing trend within a 40 years monthly time series data of minimum temperature, maximum temperature, average temperature and rainfall. A non-parametric Mann-Kendall trend test and Sen’s slope estimate was used to analyse trends exhibited by the variables. The results reveal annual increasing (upward) trends of temperatures (minimum, …

Urban Storm Water Management through Artificial Recharge for Smart Cities
Abstract: AbstractThe storm water during rainy season causes drainage problem and often roads are damaged by rainfall runoff. This problem is serious in big cities and number of industries, where most of the open area is covered by roads or some concrete structures without proper drainage. The water on roads during rains remains stagnant for hours together due to poor storm water management and results into erosion of roads. Our major …

STUDIES OF DESIGN OF HYDRAULIC JUMP TYPE STILLING BASIN IN LABORATORY FOR GUNJAWANI DAM, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe water flowing over the spillway acquires a lot of kinetic energy by the time it reaches near the toe of the spillway. If precautionary measures are not made to dissipate this huge kinetic energy of water, large scale scour can take place on down-stream side near the toe of dam and away from it.The kinetic energy of this supercritical flow can be dissipated by converting supercritical flow into subcritical …

Major Challenges for Sustainable Water Management: A Review
Abstract: Water is a precious resource vital for all forms of life. It is ample in nature but has significant temporal and spatial variability. With increasing population, the per capita share of water on earth is decreasing, and in some regions it has reached at very low levels and where communities face water stress and water scarcity. While lack of safe drinking water is a major problem for close to a …

Stochastic Modelling for Generating Monthly and Annual Rainfall at Rajasthan
Abstract: Rainfall is a phenomenon, which directly or indirectly affects all the sectors like agriculture, insurance, industry and other allied fields. It is well established that the rainfall is changing on both the global and the regional scales due to global warming. So the prediction of actual amount of rainfall is very complex till now. But now a day’s stochastic rainfall models are widely used in hydrologic analysis for rainfall forecasting. …
