Indira Gandhi Canal
No full textThis file contains a digital map of the Indira Gandhi Canal (India) in Google Earth KMZ format that was produced as part of The IBT Water Project at Auburn University. The Indira Gandhi Canal was primarily designed to support irrigation in the Thar Desert region of the state of Rajasthan in western India. Originally called the Rajasthan Canal, the project was renamed in 1984 in honor of the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Stage I of construction began in 1952 and was completed in 1983. This stage is described as consisting of a 204 km feeder canal and 189 km main canal (393 km total). Stage 2 extended the main canal an additional 256 km. Construction appears to be ongoing today as the extent of water distribution expands. As of 2021, the canal appears to feature approximately 200 diversions to secondary distribution canals of varying sizes and approximately 45 control gates to manage flow rates and assist in diverting water to the secondary canals.

Optimal Upscaling with Transport Maps
Full text linkPartial differential equation models often involve space-dependent
parameters, such as diffusion coefficients and advection fields, that
cannot be measured explicitly and are therefore uncertain. Midpoint
(MP), spatial averaging (SA), shape function (SF) and series expansion (SE) methods have long existed in the stochastic simulation community and are well known for their computational hurdles. In this
work, we compute efficient, spatially adaptive, lower-dimensional approximations of these fields, using transport maps. Such parsimonious
representations of the parameter space would greatly improve the efficiency of the resulting stochastic simulations, allow for more targeted
use of reduced order models, and aid in the related design of interventions. Numerical examples demonstrate our theoretical result
"I Don’t Know what to Say!” Strategies for Responding to and Supporting Targets of Racial Microaggressions
Full text linkIn this session, participants will be introduced to racial microaggressions, or subtle, denigrating messages conveyed to people of color based on their racial or ethnic identity. An overview of the existing research on racial microaggression will be presented, along with guiding principles and important considerations for responding to and interrupting racial microaggressions. After discussing several frameworks for addressing racial microaggressions, attendees will be invited to brainstorm and share ideas for supporting those who are experiencing racial microaggressions. One goal of the session will be for attendees to leave with concrete strategies that they, regardless of their position in an organization, can employ to interrupt and support people who are the target of microaggressions
Irtysh-Karaganda Canal
No full textThis file contains a digital map of the Irtysh-Karaganda Canal (Kazakhstan) in Google Earth KMZ format that was produced as part of The IBT Water Project at Auburn University. The Irtysh-Karaganda Canal is officially known as the Kanysh Satpayev Canal since Kazakhstan declared independence in 1991. It was designed to transport water up-slope from the Irtysh River to the industrial center of Karagandy. The canal follows the path of the Karagandy River most of the way. A series of reservoirs were constructed along the route for water storage, which is used for irrigation, domestic supply, and industrial activities. The system is reported to include 22 pumping stations, 17 bridges, and 11 hydroelectric plants. However, only 2 hydroelectric plants were identified in this project with the other 9 thought to be associated with pumping stations along the route. Unclear at this point to what extent the canal is still operating due to various social, economic, and environmental challenges (Alagh et al. 2006).
