Optimal utilization of funds for watershed conservation

Point of Contention: 

How to rate a watershed ? How to estimate the level of degradation in a watershed ? Which parameters can represent the status of a watershed ? Is it level of erosion/deforestation or change in climatic pattern or decay in water quality or land conversion ? Which will be the most important parameter to represent the status of the watershed or will it take more than one or two parameters to estimate the health of the watershed ? 

Many questions are required to be answered before embargoing upon a watershed management plan.It is important to separate the needful watersheds from the already conserved catchments for optimal utilization of the available funds.But finding a full proof method is not very easy.

Do You Know ?

Spatial and Spectral Resolution: 

Spatial Resolution in Geographical Information System is defined as the pixel spacing on the real earth surface or Ground Sample Distance(GSD) of the region captured in the image.

In general the Spatial Resolution can be defined as the measure of how closely lines can be resolved in an image.

Spectral Resolution in the other hand is the number of distinguishable spectrum or wavelengths which reproduce colour in a multi-spectral image

Summary : It is important to find a method/media for representation of Watershed Status for optimal distribution of fund of conservation.

Five ideas to open startups in water filter industry

  Below are five innovative startup ideas related to water filters: 1. Develop an app or device that can monitor the water filter candles and provide notifications to the user when maintenance or replacement is required. This could help homeowners keep track of the health of their water filter and ensure that it's functioning optimally at all times. 2. Create an in-situ water quality monitoring device and app for home water filters. This device would provide users with real-time information about the quality of their water and identify any potential issues that need to be addressed. This could be especially helpful for homeowners who rely on well water or live in areas with poor water quality. 3. Reuse wastewater from reverse osmosis filters by channeling it through a gravity filter. This would allow homeowners to save money on their water bills and reduce their environmental footprint by reusing water that would otherwise go to waste. 4. Design an in-situ energy monitoring device ...

Five Models Traditionally Used For Electrical Load Predictions : Issue 1 of WENexus Letters

Load forecasting is a technique used by power companies to predict the power or energy needed to balance the supply and load demand at all times. A load model is a mathematical representation of the relation between the demand and supply of power to a system, specifically, power generating units like thermal or hydropower plant. Based on the forecasted load, the mechanism to generate power is adjusted. This way power plant conserves the fuel used in power generation and also minimize the cost of running the plant(i.e., operational cost). This edition of WENexus Letters is dedicated to 'load prediction models' which are extremely important for sustaining the profitability of any type of power plant. Content 1)Five Models Traditionally Used For Electrical Load Predictions 2)Which model to select if you can use only one? 3)Further Reading: Three best sources for learning about load forecasting methods 4)Recent Techniques in Load Prediction Models: Artificial Neural Networks 5)Call...
