Abstract: The increase of the human population increases the usage of pharmaceuticals for treatment and prevention of diseases in this world. The wide usage of pharmaceuticals, leads to the apt for environmental problems and create severe risks to water resources globally and also creates a serious threat to the aquatic environment. Hospital wastewater is the main source of the pharmaceutical wastes that causes negative impacts on human’s life.The pharmaceutical wastewater consists of antibiotics, hormones, chemotherapy products, anaesthesia products and others. Disease causing pathogens can enter the wastewater from patients which can increase the risk of cancers among the people who could directly or indirectly exposed to such wastewater. When such untreated wastewater is discharged into the surface water it can create significant health risks to people. Mostly pharmaceuticals effluent contains a high level of pollutants and a complex mixture of active pharmaceutical ingredients, painkillers and microorganisms results in fatal effects on fish. Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of pharmaceutical wastewater are p H , Colour, Alkalinity, CODand BOD. Microorganisms play a vital role for the removal of nitrates and phosphates.The biological treatments are activated sludge process, sequential batch reactor, extended aeration, membrane bioreactor, fluidized bed reactor, rotator biological reactor and others. In this paper the characterization and comparison of biological treatment methods of pharmaceutical wastewater is discussed along with their advantages and disadvantages which will help in the selection of suitable treatment method for the best performance Download full Lenght Paper...... |

Abstract: Water, land, and soil are limited natural resources and their extensive usage with increased populace is a major concern. To subdue the increasing demand of land and water resources, it is of prime important to conserve the natural resources for sustainable development. Morphometric analysis contributes a quantifiable description of drainage system which is a significant aspect of watershed delineation. This analysis was carried by using QGIS 2.14.1 (v) software on Survey of India topographic sheet of 1:50,000 scale was used for analysis. Drainage map and the Morphometric parameters such as linear, aerial and relief aspect of the watershed have been determined based on the formula suggested by Horton, Strahler. The analysis of linear aspects of drainage basin shows that the basin has a dendritic pattern with fifth order stream. Ratio of Bifurcation of basin was found to be (5.0 to 2.4) which falls under the range (2.0 and 5.0) in which the geologic structures do not alter the drainage pattern. Density of drainage, texture of drainage, ratio of elongation and ratio of relief value of Lakhnapur watershed was 2.46 Km/Km2 and 7.72 confirms that the study area is underlain by impermeable subsurface material of Precambrian crystalline rocks having inadequate vegetation and high relief and steep slopes with very fine texture cause prone area of soil erosion risk in the area.

Abstract: This investigation was done to survey the fluoride focus in groundwater of Narayankher region, Medak District, where groundwater is the principle wellspring of drinking water. Water tests gathered from bore wells were investigated for pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Nitrate (NO3 - ) and Fluoride (F-) content. Fluoride grouping of groundwater ranges from 0.4to 2.3 mg/l. Out of44 towns contemplated 41 towns have fluoride fixation beneath 1 mg/l and 3 towns have fluoride focus over 1mg/l. 7 % towns have fluoride over 2 mg/l and 1% towns have fluoride over 2.2 mg/l. According to the alluring and most extreme allowable point of confinement for fluoride in drinking water (1.5 mg/l) endorsed by WHO (2004) and Bureau of Indian Standards (2009), in tree towns groundwater sources in the examination zone is unfit for drinking purposes. Because of the higher fluoride levels in drinking water a few instances of dental and skeletal fluorosis have showed up at disturbing rate in the explored zone. The wells in the examined territory have been delineated into protected and risky wells for utilization of water concerning fluoride and nitrate Download full Lenght Paper...... |

Abstract: Groundwater investigations in Pendyala village, Rangareddy district, Telangana State, South India has been carried out. Twelve (12) Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was conducted within the study area, using the Schlumberger Array Configuration. Data acquired were processed and interpreted using IPI2WIN software. Three geoelectric layers were obtained showing a sequence of top soil, weathered soil, fractured granite and massive granite. The K-curve type predominates with a water table depth of 40meters. Contour maps of Iso-resistivity and Aquifer depth were constructed. Variations of these data show a possibility of groundwater occurrence at potential points. Two sites were recommended for drilling. Drilling with Down-The-Hole Hammer (DTH) was carried out at the recommended sites down to 120 to 150m depths. The recommended VES results matched well with the test soundings carried at the drilled bore well resistiviites. The yields of bore wells vary from 2000 to 6000 liters per hour (lph). The yield is expected to be low in areas with no incidence of fractures. The use of Electrical Resistivity method has proved useful in evaluating the groundwater potentials within and around the study area. Download full Lenght Paper...... |

Abstract: snow cover area and temperatures measured in Sutlej basin are used for snow melt runoff. In the study surface temperature is estimated using Poissons split window algorithm. The Land Surface Temperature (LST) obtained using National Oceanic Atmospheric Administrator (NOAA/AVHRR) thermal band data is compared with field measured air temperatures. Deviation between the LST obtained from (NOAA/AVHRR) data and field air temperature is generally within +/- 6o. The deviation between the LST obtained from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS/AQUA) data and field air temperature is within +/- 7o. The deviation between LST derived from NOAA/AVHRR data and that of MODIS data is within +/- 5o. Correlation analysis has been made and using the regression equation, the LST has been computed at Jubbal station. A high correlation between field air temperature and LST from NOAA data (R2=0.813) and LST from MODIS data (R2=0.783) was verified. Comparison of actual air temperature with computed air temperature shows that the deviation is within +/- 5o.

Abstract: The study aims at analyzing the 'cause-and-effect' relation between urban (spatial) form and demographic and socio-economic variations in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), Telangana State. Proper understanding of the form is essential to comprehend variations at micro-level over time and vice-versa. In fact, establishing, 'intra and inter' relations on a spatio-temporal scale would help get the true perspective of urban planning. Multi-temporal datasets generated from Remote Sensing data of two periods i.e., 2001 and 2015 pertaining to 150 municipal wards of GHMC have been analyzed to discern change in form throughmulti correlation analysis in GIS environment. Various indicators like demography (population, density and literacy), economy (per-capita, work participation, gross ward domestic product [GWDP] etc.) and physical (sprawl, entropy, compactness etc.) dimensions were also analyzed and mapped. The results show majority (80) wards in the old city have very high density (>20,000 per./km2 ) population led by Feteh Darwaza (1,34,217 per./km2 ), Musheerabad (70,573 per./km2 ) etc. with low GWDP of Rs. 2 - 2.75 billion. With high dense built-up area, these wards show high compact mono-centric form. Whereas, wards in fringe areas like, Gachibowli, Rajendra Nagar, Hayath Nagar, Serilingampally, Jubilee Hills, etc. (20 wards) show low density, (<5000 per./km2 ) but with relatively high GWDP (Rs. 5.27, 5.55, 6.63, 9.07, 4.97 billion, respectively) with moderate to sparse poly-centric form. When compared with global averages Hyderabad has a form with increased complexity, low centrality, compactness, porosity and very high density form similar to developed countries. The results show that Hyderabad has a heterogeneous form due to unequal demographic and socio‐economic structural conditions. Download full Lenght Paper...... |

Abstract: The demand for the protection of natural structures, groynes, resources and landscapes is raising high and it is vital as it is affecting the growth of mankind. The causes of this perturbation come from innumerable aspects of occurrences. The vital factors are dynamics of nature and the developments by mankind. One of the area in which the man is facing difficulty to discern is about littoral zones and its dynamical behavior in course of time. This is a nature dominant phenomenon including human involvement sometimes. One of the difficulties to discern the dynamic behavior of littoral zones is innumerable variables, the system comprising of. The proposed methodology suggesting to keep the variables or constraints which are having less effect as constant and to consider the variables, which has dominant effect on the dynamics of littoral zones [1]. The hypothesis is to build a groyne inshore so that the changes can be predicted prior so that the plan of action can be executed against the change. The dynamic structures are movable in space and are sized, shaped and designed according to our convenience, importantly by considering the changes in littoral zones is hypothesized to minimize the scouring effect. The method of fundamental numerical modeling is opted to support the hypothesized results. Download full Lenght Paper...... |

Abstract: Development of smart cities in India is primary reason for increase in quantity of impervious surfaces-(surfaces which doesn‟t let the water to penetrate through them). These impervious surfaces include asphalt streets and highways, concrete footpaths and pavements, parking lots, and highly compressed soil surfaces. Because of these impervious surfaces the runoff produced by these surfaces cause some serious problem to the low lying areas by flooding them. Growth in population leads to the demand for water, as the surfaces water bodies are not sufficient enough to meet the need of people they go after the alternative of ground water, this result in decline in ground water levels. Permeable concrete-(the concrete structure with voids in them which allow the water to penetrate through them) is a modern and environmental friendly material which can be used in construction of pavements, footpaths, and parking lots, where the traffic loads are low. The usage of these permeable concrete structures will reduce the amount of runoff and improve ground water recharge conditions. During the work the amount of area which has been impervious in our area of study was calculated, advantages and disavatages of using permeable concrete structures in place of impervious materials are discussed Download full Lenght Paper...... |
