Poor water quality in Pettipalam Colony in Thalassery, Kannur District, Kerala is the source of many health issues among the colony residents. Soil and water contamination due to the accumulation of waste is another serious issue that adversely affects the health of the inhabitants in the area. There is a compelling need for the village inhabitants to appropriately monitor the water bodies and take...
Water is one of the precious factors in human life. It plays a vital role in the survival and existence of flora and fauna. But, now a days it is been exploited heavily by dumping of human waste, industrial and chemical waste in to the water bodies which is the resultant of water being contaminated with toxic chemicals. Water scarcity and water contamination has been one of the major issues faced...
The ecosystem model of surface water quality in the river basin was formalized on the basis of the theory of neural networks. The neural network is trained based on the observation data. Upon that the methods of environmental assessment and suitability of water for irrigation as well as for drinking needs can be used for the neural networking. The developed ecosystem model enables to improve significantly...
The conventional method of testing water quality is to gather samples of water manually and send to the lab to test and analyze. This method is time consuming, wastage of man power, and not economical. The water quality measuring system that we have implemented checks the quality of water in real time through various sensors (one for each parameter: pH, conductivity, temperature) to measure the quality...
Water quality operative control is considered when chemical analysis is possible. In this paper, new information-instrumental technology is proposed. This technology is based on combined use of optical instrumental means and recognition algorithms of spectral images. Adaptive multi-functional system is proposed to be as tool for operative diagnosis of hydro-chemical processes. This system has two...
Water is a scarce resource and hence it should be used efficiently in all aspects. Water bodies like dams, lakes, ponds play major role in storing and distributing the water in efficient manner. Stored water is used for drinking purpose, agriculture irrigation, electricity generation, etc. Sometimes excess storage of water causes flood during heavy raining season and kills valuable resources including...
This chapter focuses on decentralized water and wastewater treatment. Decentralized water and wastewater treatment holds a rather distinct place in the water industry. This is partly because it encompasses a broad array of activities that are not neatly packaged within traditional centralized treatment, but also because it potentially represents a radically different approach to treating and reusing...
This paper presents a review on significant parameters and techniques in water quality assessments used for drinking, domestic purposes and recreational purposes. To ensure water in good quality there are several parameters that have to be considered. Water quality index (WQI) is one of the most effective tools to an attempt to ascertain the water quality. There are many techniques on water quality...
In this paper, a new classification method for production water is proposed, based on so real-time measured parameters. The classification method consists of three steps: 1) An initial classification of the Water Quality Index is computed using the method proposed by KUMAR; 2) Feature selection based on random forest (specifically based on the method varSelRF); and 3) Training of classifiers using...
This paper presents a DSS for water management, and decision makers during water pollution accidents, by means of analysis tools for estimating strategies to avoid water pollution effects resulting from waste industry, oil pollution and other causes. The DSS is based on Internet and Web technologies. The WATERDSS online data (web) services provide a computed water quality index or water pollution...
Access to safe water continues to be a serious health concern across the globe, particularly in the rural areas of developing nations. Inadequate standards and practices for treating and storing drinking water have increased the incidences of illnesses and mortalities due to waterborne diseases and contaminants. In this paper, we assess the viability of utilizing the seeds from the Moringa Oleifera...
Monitoring water quality in rivers and treated surface water is crucial to the health and welfare of rural populations. The present research discusses work on the Napo River in the Peruvian Amazon. Several challenges surrounding consistent water quality monitoring exist worldwide. These include resources that must be expended to manually measure water quality, as well as similar resource barriers...
Lake monitoring is a necessity for aquatic healthy living. Stakeholders are particularly interested not just in the aesthetics but also in the quality of water bodies. Our work tends to initially analyze historic data of the sensed water quality parameters at Luton Hoo lake to detect outliers. Dissolved oxygen has been predicted from available data since its one of the major surface water contaminants
Uncontrolled urbanization results into sudden and rapid changes into Land Use/Land cover (LU/LC) of a subtropical river basin. Water quality is an important indicator of river basin health. For better river basin planning and management, the information is required on the state of water quality and the changes occurring into it. Remote Sensing and GIS are efficient aids for such study. Water quality...
Optimal placement of the water quality sensor refers to the arrangement of best water quality sensor deployment in water distribution systems to test the accidental or intentional contaminant. The optimization problem is essentially a kind of large scale combinatorial optimization problem and it needs the highly reliable and highly scalable resources to solve the problem. Traditional methods to solve...
For the issues of water resources management, it has an important practical significance to apply data analysis and mining in it. The paper discussed the strategies of water quality information mining by using the basic principle of Pareto law, from the water quality, facilities and network information content, organization and personnel. It also made a quantitative analysis of the importance of the...
Continuous real-time water parameters monitoring is a necessity in the context of contemporary water resources management. There is an important research direction towards the development of monitoring systems, which make use of wireless sensor networks for water parameters acquisition. In this paper, we present our on-going work and preliminary findings on the development of a water parameters monitoring...
The effect of land use on water quality is one of the most concerned problems hydro geologists in the world. On basis of this we put forward our own viewpoint and cognition. Analyzed the comprehensive summarize to the Land use change, retrospected the development history of the Land use change, and also analyzed and depicted the current research field. The exploitation and conservation of the Poyang...
The increasing growth in the population of developing countries, such as Malawi, Africa, combined with a lack of strict environmental safeguards, has given rise to serious concerns about water quality, and the associated threats to human health and the environment. However, analytical data on water quality in these countries are limited, but water quality appears to be degraded with intensive agriculture...
People have more consciousness on wetland recovery, bird watching and ecosystem tourism, energy saving and reduction of carbon dioxide emission in recent years. On the conservation of ecosystem and their habitat, water quality is an important evaluation index. However, there is still a lack of reliable ubiquitous evaluation index. This paper is focused on proposing a ubiquitous method for evaluating...
