Flood Resilient Land Use Planning for Gurugram
Abstract: Floods have become a common phenomenon in the fast urbanizing world as a consequence of accumulation of large amount of water in a particular area, either as a result of direct rainfall exceeding the capacity of drainage systems or a spill of enormous amounts of water from water bodies. Urbanization develops densely populous urban areas where the inhabitants suffer as a result of floods due to the reasons mentioned above, …

Scientific Investigation of the Ancient Water Bodies (Baravas) from Akkalkot Taluka, Solapur District, Maharashtra: Special Emphasis on Tirth and Jeur Region.
Abstract: Ancient water bodies (Baravas), are the step wells of modern culture. These traditional and important structures are neglected by many researchers for water planning aspect. So, this study explores the architecture of stepwells (Baravas), built traditionally in the western Maharashtra for storing and utilizing the groundwater. Step-wells are the constructions up to 3 to 5 store down from ground level comprising a water-body, which majorly are attractively planned. Above stated …

Intercomparison of Rainfall Estimates of Probability Distributions for Developing the Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves
Abstract: Determination of short duration rainfall through the developed Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curve is of utmost importance for planning, design, operation and management of civil and hydraulic structures. For which, extreme value analysis (EVA) of rainfall that consists of fitting probability distributions such as Normal, Log Normal (LN2), Pearson Type-3, Log Pearson Type-3, Extreme Value Type-1 (EV1) and Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) to the annual 1-day maximum rainfall series is carried out. …
