Quality of Surface and Ground Water Around Machenahalli Indutrial Estate Between Bhadravathi and Shimoga Cities, Karnataka, India
Abstract: This study is done to analyse the physic-chemical properties of surface and ground water around Machenahalli industrial area. About seven surface water and nine ground water samples were collected and analysed for physico-chemical parameters like pH, EC (Electrical conductivity), Ca, TH, Mg, Na, K2O, SO4, CO3, HCO3 Cl and TDS (Total dissolve solid). And these results were compared with the drinking water standards of ISI (2003) and WHO (2004).For the …

Advances in Photocatalytic Catalysts for Wastewater Treatment
Abstract: Water is a fundamental component of the life support system and is indispensable for the survival of all living organisms. Life cannot exist without water, and human societies depend on it for drinking, agriculture, industry, and sanitation. Water resources are increasingly under pressure in terms of both quality and availability, largely due to rapid industrial development, expanding urban areas, and rising population levels. These human-driven activities have played a major …

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 …

Effective Strategies for Sustainable Soil and Water Management: Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Environmental Conservation
Abstract: Soil and water are essential natural resources, and their degradation due to erosion, overgrazing and other factors is ongoing. Water erosion is influenced by climate, topography, vegetation and soil, while wind erosion is affected by wind characteristics, surface features, topography and soil properties. Unsustainable land and water management practices lead to reduced soil fertility, soil loss, lower crop yields, water depletion, deforestation, and diminished biomass. Of the 1386 million cubic …

Impact of Salinity Ingression Prevention Structures (Bandharas) on Different Landuse Categories in Abdasa Taluka of Kachchh Region, Gujarat-India
Abstract: Kachchh has a coastline of 406 km that faces various problems due to the salinity ingression and some developmental initiatives like ports, industries, etc. To check salinity ingression in the adjacent land of coastal areas, Government of Gujarat has taken some corrective measures in which construction of bandharas is one such attempt to prevent ingress of salinity along the coastal belt of Kachchh. For this activity, the government has invested …

Assessing Urban Surface Runoff Management Using the SWAT Model, GIS, and the Rational Method: A Case Study of Karapakkam
Abstract: Urban surface runoff management encompasses strategies aimed at regulating rainwater flow, reducing urban flooding, enhancing groundwater recharge, and contributing to disaster risk mitigation for sustainable urban development. This study seeks to optimize surface runoff management in urban settings by using the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model integrated with geographic information systems (GIS) to minimize flood risks. The research focuses on the peak runoff in Karapakkam, a locality within …

Identification of Groundwater Potential Zones using Remote Sensing and GIS: a case study of watershed, Maharashtra, India.
Abstract: Water is one of the vital source for all livings beings for their survival. Water is needed for many activities like agriculture, industries, domestic, drinking and many other purposes. If we consider the earth as a whole, water covers the major portion of the earth. But among the total water on the earth, fresh water reserves are very less that is only 2.5%. Also the water availability is unevenly distributed …
