Watershed development: A solution to water shortages in semi-arid India or part of the problem?
Get PDFThere have been dramatic changes in the hydrology of many of the dry areas of South India in recent years as a result of increased groundwater-based irrigation, watershed development and land use change. Although intensive development of water resources has brought about huge benefits, its very success has thrown up new challenges. Demand and competition for water has increased to the extent that — in some areas — current levels of annual water use are so high that, in all but the wettest years, annual water use approximates towards annual replenishment of surface and ground water resources. In these areas, it is clear that the emphasis should switch from development to the management of water resources to ensure that water is allocated to activities with the highest economic and social value. Although current watershed development programmes bring a range of benefits, they may also change the temporal and spatial pattern of water availability and use. This can result in significant negative trade-offs such as more unreliable domestic water supplies in ‘downstream’ areas, particularly during low rainfall or drought years. As part of the Karnataka Watershed Development Project (KAWAD), a water resource audit assessed the status of water resources in the project watersheds and identified resource management practices that should be promoted by the project. This paper summarises the audit’s findings and recommendations, the main lessons learned and progress to date in implementing recommendations. For comparison, findings and recommendations from a water audit in southern Andhra Pradesh are also summarised.Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
On the morphology of Bostrychia tenella (Vahl) J. Agardh
Get PDFBoergesen (1937) reported Bostrychia tenella (Va hI.) J. Ag. from Indian
waters. Some details regarding the morphology of the alga are available to some extent
by the works of Montagne(1828).Falken\>"rg (1901). Post (1936). Tseng(1942)and Joly
(1954) . The detailed structure of the alga and the development of the reproductive
structures are not known completely. Advantage was taken of the occurrence of
Bostrychia tenella in the Gulf of Mannar at Mandapam to study the morphology of the
species both from living specimans and from material fixed in 4% formalin and forma lin
-acatic-alcohol. Suitable preparations were stained in eosine and mounted in glycerine
for microscopic examination. Sometimes the material had to be softened by placing in
1 % acetic acid or 1 % lithium chloride solution. While thin sections were used
frequantly. most datails could be observed on whole mounts and squashes of suitable
pieces of the thallus of the alga
Development of Polynomial Model for Cantilever Beam with Breathing Crack
No full textAbstractNonlinear phenomena are widely encountered in practical engineering applications. A typical example is fatigue cracks which open and close under dynamic loadings, exhibiting breathing characteristic and introducing bi-linearity into structures. In this paper, we mainly focus on the idealization of bilinear phenomena by a polynomial function of the desired order which has a greater significance in nonlinear parametric system identification. The proposed polynomial idealization of restoring force of the bilinear problem is validated by comparing the frequency response and displacement time history response of a numerically simulated single degree of freedom cantilever beam with a single-edged breathing crack excited under harmonic loading
Evaluation of Biofield Energy Treatment on Physical and Thermal Characteristics of Selenium Powder
No full textSelenium (Se) is an essential trace element, and its deficiency in the humans leads to increase the risk of various diseases, such as cancer and heart diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of biofield energy treatment on the physical and thermal properties of the selenium powder. The selenium powder was divided into two parts denoted as control and treated. The Control part was remained as untreated and treated part received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. Both control and treated selenium samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis - differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD data showed that biofield energy treatment has slightly altered the lattice parameter (0.07%), unit cell volume (0.15%), density (-0.14%), atomic weight (0.15%), and nuclear charge per unit volume (-0.21%) in the treated selenium powder as compared to the control. The crystallite size of the treated selenium powder was reduced considerably from 106.98 nm (control) to 47.55 nm. The thermal analysis study showed that the latent heat of fusion was 64.61 J/g in the control, which changed to 68.98, 52.70, 49.71 and 72.47 J/g in the treated T1, T2, T3, and T4 samples respectively. However, the melting temperature did not show any considerable change in the treated selenium samples as compared to the control. The FT-IR spectra showed the absorption peak at 526 and 461 cm-1, which corresponding to metal oxide bonding vibration in the control and treated selenium powder respectively. Hence, overall data suggest that, the biofield energy treatment considerably altered the physical and thermal properties of selenium powder. Therefore, biofield energy treatment could make selenium even more useful nutrient in human body.
