Analysis of water shortage in India

Climate change, water supply limits, and continued population growth have intensified the search for measures to conserve water in irrigated agriculture, the world’s largest water user. Policy measures that encourage adoption of water-conserving irrigation technologies are widely believed to make more water available for cities and the environment. At the time of Independence, i.e., in 1,947, the per capita accessibility of water in India was 6,008 cubic meters a year. It boiled down to 5,177 cubic meters a year in 1951 and to 1,820 cubic meters a year in 2001. As per midterm examination (MTA) of the tenth Plan, per capita accessibility of water is probably going to tumble down to 1,340 cubic meters in 2025 and 1,140 cubic meters in 2050. Nearly 40 percent of water demand in urban India is met by groundwater. So groundwater tables in most cities are falling at an alarming rate of 2-3 meters per year. Another factor is water leakage. This article analyses the distribution of water in the Indian subcontinent and how the Rainwater harvesting system has panned out so far in the Indian context. It focuses on the areas that need improvement and the consequences that follow if we humans don't stop the wastage of this precious commodity.

Survey on color lines model for eliminating specular reflection

Detection of highlights is a prominent issue in computer vision, graphics. Many algorithms in image processing assume diffuse only reflections and deem specular reflections to be outliers. However, in the real world, the presence of specular reflections is inevitable since there are many dielectric inhomogeneous objects which have both diffuse and specular reflections. Hence, detection, and sometimes removal, of specular reflection (highlights) in an image may be critical. Proposed work takes help of global color-lines information to effectively recover specular and diffuse reflection. Our critical observation is that each image pixel lies along a color line in normalized RGB space and the different color lines meaning distinct diffuse chromaticities intersect at one point, known to be the illumination chromaticity. Pixels along the same color line, spread over the entire image and their distances to the illumination chromaticity give the number of specular reflection components. With such non-local overall information from these color lines, our method can effectively separate specular and diffuse reflection components in a pixel-wise way. We also present an efficient algorithm for complete removal of the highlights and it is suitable for real-time applications.

A study of mechanical properties of lightweight cement mortar

The present work contributes to the difference between mechanical properties of lightweight cement mortar by using common waste such as coconut shell powder, wood waste and sea shell powder as the partial replacement of sand. These waste material can be found easily and I tried to make better use of them in this present work. The mechanical properties conducted were workability, compressive strength test and split tensile strength test. The results were concluded by describing the best material for replacement of sand and its optimum quantity which is to be added to produce light weight cement mortar. Lightweight cement mortar can be used in cases of underwater construction, for better heat resistance, eco-friendly construction. In, by and large, the mortar is plastic liquid-like structure comprises of OPC cement or Ordinary Portland Cement, water and Fine aggregate. The common mortar can be used for masonry works in most of the cases. But to impart special characteristics to the common mortar we need to add some ingredients such as fly ash, rice husk ash, metakaolin, etc. So, in this present work, I used different waste material as partial replacement for the fine aggregate or sand.

Review Paper

A review: Use of nanoparticles in solar desalination

The current paper reviews a present work about the role of nanomaterial in many fields especially in a solar energy distillation system. The nanomaterial increases the absorptivity of sunlight and thermal conductivity of the base material. Benefits of using nanomaterial in solar still are thermal performance improvement with acceptable consequences. There is a lot of studies done on solar still using nanomaterial with different parameters and his effects. The purpose of this review consists of exhibiting the performed researches, the main objective of the studies and results, mathematical data and measurements. It was observed that many statement issues that should be taken into account, namely few works have analyzed nanoparticles in solar still active configurations, furthermore, investigations are required to examine the effects of nanoparticle size, the shape of the nanograin and amount of the nanoparticles.

Linear control starter for single phase induction motor

This paper is based on the advancement of power electronics technology. In this paper, we forced on designing and development of Linear control starter for single-phase induction motor. An induction motor takes a large current while starting so we had to make a starter which will be reduced starting current of an induction motor. In this circuitry, we also gave high voltage and low voltage protection circuitry. In this, we have used a microcontroller with solid state power electronics device i.e. thyristors. The results show that this method can be reduced starting current.

Richard Rorty’s criteria for progressive left

Richard Rorty’s progressive Left is the main political viewpoint that satisfies the criteria for any nation. It ingrains trust in the individual since it depicts a future that is the satisfaction of the ethical character of America. It is a future-arranged viewpoint yet does not endeavor to portray the methods through which the change will happen in extraordinary detail. The most essential part of the progressive Left is the trust an individual must have in his or her nation and what's to come. This is anything but a visually impaired trust, the kind that would make an individual fall into spectatorship and not want to play a participatory part, but rather the kind that makes an individual feel that his or her battles are not futile. Americans can't expect that their nation will fall flat at accomplishing its objectives. An admired future may not be accomplished in their lifetime, but rather they should at present have to trust that their relatives will have the capacity to live in an ethically impartial society. This paper will explore his four criteria for Progressive Left.
