Automatic Irrigation System on Sensing Soil Moisture Content
Abstract: AbstractIn developing countries like Bangladesh, farmers depend on rivers and rainfall to water their crops properly. Even though water pumps are used for irrigation purposes, the farmers have to operate those manually. In this paper, a system is proposed to reduce the human intervention as it will switch the motor on/off automatically after sensing the soil moisture content. Further system will allow the farmers to receive much needed rest and …

Quantification of River Bank Erosion, Accretion and Its Effect on Land Use: A Case Study of the Ganges (Left Bank) Upstream of Farakka Barrage, Malda District, West Bengal
Abstract: Bank erosion is mainly a physical process of river dynamics that causes threat to the riparian and floodplain structures, engulfs fertile agricultural land, homes, means of livelihood and assets of the people. Along with physical causes, anthropogenic activities disturb the equilibrium of the river dynamics along the river stretch and accelerate the rate of bank erosion. The study focuses to quantify the decadal and mouza-wise erosion and accretion along the …

Prioritization of Micro/Mini Watersheds and Identification of Locations to Construct Rainwater Harvesting Structures using Morphometric Parameters and Geoinformatics
Abstract: Nalluru Amani Kere Watershed (NAKW) is constituent of Caveri river basin, Karnataka state, covering 415.68 km2 area, representing arid climate. The NAKW has been divided into thirty one micro/mini watersheds (MWS) of 3rd order, designated as MWS-1 to MWS-31, for the purpose of prioritization. For this purpose, morphometric parameters were calculated under linear and shape aspects. Linear aspects such as; drainage density (Dd), bifurcation ratio (Rb), stream frequency (Fu), length …

DECENTRALISED WASTEWATER SYSTEM & ENHANCEING GREEN COVER
Abstract: Abstract Water is one of the most vital natural resources for all living beings on Earth. The availability and quality of water always have played an important part in determining not only where people can live, but also their quality of life. On the other hand wastewater is generated from various industries and from domestic use. The capacity of sewage treatment is much lesser than production so remaining sewage is …
