Extraction of Drainage Pattern and Watershed from SRTM Data Using GIS Tools: A Case Study
Abstract: This paper proposes a fast and an inexpensive method for delineating the drainage and watershed of a sub-basin. Planning of the water resource management is evolving from simple local-scale problems toward complex spatially explicit regional scale. Such problems have to be addressed with distributed models that can compute runoff and erosion at different spatial and temporal scales. In general, watershed can range from as little as one hectare to hundreds …

Role of Axillary Reverse Mapping in Reducing the Risk of Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Patients: Current Perspectives
Abstract: Axillary reverse mapping is the technique of mapping and subsequently preserving the arm lymphatic drainage during axillary dissection. In 2007 Hiroo Suami described a constant sentry node draining most of the upper limb in anatomical dissection of cadavers. The presence of this node and its fairly constant location was later confirmed by many authors in clinical studies. With the use of blue dye alone, the detection rates are low than …

Land Use Planning and Urban Flood Resilience: A GIS-Based Assessment of Master Plan for Delhi in the National Capital Territory of India
Abstract: Rapid and unplanned urbanisation replacing the natural flood absorbing formations has caused socio-economic disruption and vulnerability. Urban flooding has become a major problem in India’s National Capital Region. Unchecked urban growth in the lowlands exacerbates flooding and inadequate drainage systems are unable to cope with the rising rainfall. We need to move from a focus on disaster response to managing floods and building flood resilience. Land use planning is an …
