We have taken up evaluation of 65 water sheds in Northern districts of Karnataka. These water sheds are spread across Bagalkot,Raichur, Koppala, Bellary and Davanagere districts.

Organizer: International Quality and Productivity Center(IQPC)

Venue: The Grand New Delhi, India

Topics:

• Understanding guidelines and discovering new investment opportunities in the wastewater sector in India
• Re-engineering existing wastewater management systems

This report by Aligarh Muslim University and Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) deals with groundwater flow modelling and aquifer vulnerability assessment in Yamuna–Krishni sub-basin of Muzaffarnagar district. For evaluation of the groundwater resources and for minimizing the error of estimation, the system has been evaluated through aquifer modelling where water balance is established using partial differential equation of groundwater flow and is solved with boundary and initial boundary conditions.

The book covers 16 chapters addressing various applications starting with introduction, state of art technology, case studies, literature review, future trends besides providing relevant references which are more useful for operational scientists and researchers. The resource scientists from Remote sensing & GIS applications area have contributed these chapters.

In his last book, 'Economics of hydropower' Dr. jhunjhunwala comes to a conclusion that we have neglected some very important costs of hydropower, while overestimating its benefit.

This is the opinion of Bijay Kumar, Managing Director of National Horticulture Board (NHB). He was expressing this in an exclusive interview to Panasam Wonders.

He regretted “We are not able to exploit its full potential. But as it is a good livelihood option for the weaker sections of the society, it’s high time to concentrate our efforts for its development.”
