Groundwater contamination modelling in Ayad River Basin, Udaipur

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: July 18, 2024

Groundwater, a vital freshwater resource catering to agricultural, domestic, and industrial needs, faces pressing challenge of contamination due escalating human activities. This study focuses on the Ayad River Basin in Udaipur district Rajasthan, employing FEFLOW simulation code for first time. A steady-state numerical model groundwater contaminant prediction total dissolved solids (TDS), nitrate, fluoride were developed, simulating trends over next five years with an accuracy exceeding 95%. The results reveal eastward increase TDS, concentrations, attributed from two waste disposal sites-Titadi Baleecha. Titadi, operational four decades until closure 2010, retains residual 32 thousand m2. initiation new dumping ground at Baleecha by Municipal Corporation post-2010 exacerbates regional contamination. Nitrate is particularly high agricultural zones excessive chemical fertilizer usage. Of 27 scenarios tested, 23 support using water irrigation but would require treatment before it drinking. Recommendations include deploying sensor network real-time data input into web enabled model, monitoring alerts, mobile application providing personalized guidance usage health risks case can be beneficial decision-makers, who work policy management strategies.

Embracing complexities in agricultural water management through nexus planning

Irrigation and Drainage, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 73(5), P. 1695 - 1716

Published: Sept. 29, 2024

A major challenge for agricultural water management (AWM) in the 21st century is to feed a growing population face of increasing intersectoral resource competition, evolving diets, degradation, pandemics, geopolitical conflicts and climate change. This has be achieved within planetary boundaries without compromising livelihood environmental (ecosystem) objectives linked water, including provisioning, supporting regulating services. paper uses systems nexus lens unravel centrality complexities AWM, with particular emphasis on interconnected dimensions as well its practices technologies. AWM exists beyond food linkages human well-being. needs catalyse transformation integrate approaches across systems, users scales meet changing climate. It must provide perspectives productivity, managing risks safeguarding security - important these are our understanding climate, land, ecosystems address health outcomes. By doing so, could contextualised, equitable, innovative solutions that acknowledge local socio-economic institutional structures limitations while catalysing sustainable development resilience.

Water Flow Management System with Equipment Protection

Published: Aug. 2, 2024

Water scarcity is a growing problem in many regions. Therefore, intelligent management of the available water needed. Aside from using mains directly households and farms, hydrophores are often used for local system creation. tanks filled with when mains, then extracted hydrophore. Wells also as alternative sources. Filling tank manually requires human presence can lead to overflow. It better if hydrophore protected by switching it on or off depending level measured, current, pressure its balloon. This paper presents designed address these issues. The utilizes various sensors monitor levels, pressure, current. Microcontrollers analyze sensor data control valves based user-defined parameters. offers remote monitoring capabilities be configured different source scenarios (tanks vs. wells). was successfully implemented real-world settings, including factory. benefits include protection, autonomous management, valuable well recovery rates operation cycles.
