Idea : Analysis of Climatic Impacts on Hydraulic Structures by Fuzzy AHP method

The change in climate and impending abnormalities due to the same may impact the stability of hydraulic structures developed to resist,store and utilize the water and its kinetics for development of mankind.The level of impacts on a hydraulic structure can be evaluated with the help of various related and relevant attributes and methods like AHP with Fuzzy can be utilized to estimate the degree of impacts on the hydraulic structures.In this present investigation the weightage of the criteria can be determined by Fuzzy Logic instead of normal procedures of AHP.

After the weightage was found the same may be utilized to rate the alternatives as normally performed in case of AHP method.Some cases may be evaluated with known impact of climatic extremity to validate the method and the outcomes from the same.

Tools Utilized : AHP and Fuzzy

Keywords : Climate change,MCDM,AHP,Fuzzy,hydraulic structures

Hydrology Meets AI: Using Neural Networks to Predict Time‑Dependent Variables

Most hydrological variables are strongly time‑dependent. River discharge, groundwater level, rainfall, evapotranspiration, even reservoir storage – all of these change over hours, days, seasons, and years. Capturing this temporal behaviour accurately is at the heart of modern water resources modelling and management. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for dealing with such time‑dependent problems. They are data‑driven, flexible, and capable of learning complex nonlinear relationships that are often difficult to express analytically. Even though the exact theoretical relationship between time dependence in hydrological variables and neural network architecture is still an open research question, experience shows that ANNs can deliver more accurate predictions than many traditional hydrological models in a wide range of applications. This post outlines a practical methodology for applying neural networks to develop hydrological prediction models, especially...

Brackish Water Can be Used as Power Plant Coolant According to NETL, using brackish water to cool power plants can reduce freshwater consumption by 94% to 100%. Brackish water is water that is not suitable for drinking or irrigation because it contains between 1,000 and 35,000 parts per million of dissolved solids. The study's findings were published online by Nature Portfolio and are available here. Find more Management of Water and Energy Nexus is crucial for the future of India India is one of the world's most water-stressed countries, with only 4% of the world's water supply but 18% of the population. And, in recent years, India's rapid economic rise has only increased demand for both energy and water, putting these interconnected resources under increasing stress and making the nexus between them crucial for the country's energy security and transition goals. Agriculture consumes 80% of India's water, but water is also essential to the country's ene...

New Research Idea in Water Resource Management

Category Water Resource Management Output Type Report Type of Message * Ideas Cover Feature New Research Idea : Impact of Change in Rainfall Erosivity on Soil Conservation Projects in Semi-Arid Watersheds under Climate Change Scenarios Why ? Soil Conservation can prevent many irrigation projects from failure.Change in rainfall erosivity effect soil dynamics and climate change is only aggravating this change.Thus analysis of the impact of climate change on soil conservation projects will become necessary in the near future.The study can highlight the major factors which can contribute to the failure of the soil conservation projects which in turn will help the engineers to look for an ideal solution.
