Flow Characteristics of Triangular Plan Form Weir
Abstract: Weirs are used for discharge measurement and flow diversion in the open channels. However, modified weirs such as plan form weirs, Labyrinth weir, oblique weir and piano key weir, etc. having larger crest length compared to normal weir having same lateral space assist in enhancing discharging capacity for a given upstream head, without creating much afflux. An experimental study was carried out to understand the effect of the geometry of …

Leachate Characterization and Assessment of Groundwater Pollution Near Municipal Solid Waste Dumpsite, Thanjavur
Abstract: The increase in population, urbanization, and industrialization leads to increase in the generation of solid waste. The improper management of solid waste creates various problems. In many developing countries open dumping is practiced for solid waste management. One of the major problems of open dumping is groundwater pollution. The main objective of this paper is to determine the ground water pollution due to leachate infiltration beneath and near the dumpsite. …

Methodology of watershed development
Abstract: Watershed has been adopted as an approach for the implementation of area development programs namely DPAP, DDP, IWDP and HARIYALI. A watershed is a natural geo-hydrological area that drains out rain water to a common point. Based on available budget, local people support and intervention with technologies, the watershed area is developed. Such viable watershed unit aims at conservation, development and optimum use of natural resources for increasing productivity and …

Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Ground Water in Tirupur District
Abstract: Deterioration of ground water resources has been a major concern of human society. The aim is to preserve and to maintain the balanced biological communities and sustainable stream ecosystem health. The hydro chemical study is an important parameter for determining the water quality for the end-users. The study for the same has been carried on the ground water by collecting groundwater samples in Tirupur district. A total number of 25 …

Water Management for the Service of Mankind
Abstract: India occupies approximately 2.4% of total geographical area of the world, while it supports 15% of the world population. Unprecedented population growth and increase in demand of scarce land, water and biological resources and increasing degradation of these resources are affecting the stability of ecosystem and environment leading to wasteland. Better management of water resources will also help to ensure sustainable food security. This paper attempts to provide a short …

Variation on Water Quality Parameters Including Trace Elements of Brahmani River over a Stretch of Six Districts in Orissa, India
Abstract: Surface water samples from river Brahmani of Orissa, India were collected from 17 locations of 6 districts all along the northwest and southeast of Orissa in three different phases; winter, pre-monsoon and post-monsoon. The collections were done in the month of January, May and September. Samples were tested for each category, viz. physical, chemical and trace elements and their average values were considered for a more approximate comparison. In each …

Rating of Water Quality of Rivers Water in Asari Toru L.G.A, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: The aim of the assessment was to compute the water quality index (WQI) of Sama and Tema River at 20metres interval along horizontal direction of the river to determine the suitability of the water for purposes of public drinking, recreation and other usage. In this paper the functional parameters in evaluating quality of a water body were used in evaluating the water quality index (WQI) of the two river and …

Application of Hybrid Wavelet Packet-ANN in Drought Forecasting
Abstract: Drought is the most catastrophic natural disaster that has disastrous effect on human beings, environment and ecology. It is the most frequent of all the natural hazards. In this study, an attempt has been made to forecast the drought using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for a lead time of 1-month and 6-month. Further, the pre-processing of data has been carried out using Wavelet Packet transform (WPT) and then the pre-processed …

Simulation of Sediment Deposit and Maintenance Requirements for Sani- Abacha Road Culvert, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: Empirical model of sediment yield equation was applied to develop the sediment deposit monitoring equation of the Sani-Abacha road culvert. The culverts were selected based on field observation of continuous overflow, road overtopping and channel contraction in the course of heavy storm due to sediment built up within and inside the culvert barrel. The result of the assessment shows that the way sediment load varies with discharge is consistent and …
