Surface and subsurface drainage systems are used to remove excess water from irrigated areas. Surface drainage involves open ditches and land grading to carry water away, while subsurface or tile drainage uses underground pipes to drain water from below the soil surface. Tile drains are made of porous material and laid in trenches backfilled with filter material to prevent soil intrusion. They are connected to larger surface drains or pumps. Different tile drainage layouts are used depending on topography, including natural, gridiron, herringbone, and interceptor systems. Soil salinity occurs when salt concentrations in the root zone inhibit plant growth. It can be caused by high water tables, arid climates with limited leaching, or poor quality
This document discusses water logging and its causes and effects. It defines water logging as when the productivity of agricultural land is affected by a high water table. Key points include:
- Water logging occurs when there is too much water in the root zone of plants, killing bacteria that produce nutrients and reducing crop yields.
- The depth of the water table affects different crops, such as wheat being affected at 0.9-1.2m and sugarcane at 0.3m.
- Causes of water logging include over irrigation, seepage from canals and reservoirs, inadequate drainage, obstruction of water flows, soil type, and excessive rainfall.
- Effects are difficult cultivation, growth of

1. Canal escapes are side channels that remove surplus water from irrigation channels to prevent damage from overtopping or leaks. They provide a safety valve and are essential for repair and maintenance.
2. There are three main types of escapes - surplus, tail, and scouring escapes - which serve different drainage purposes along canals.
3. Head and cross regulators are structures that control water flow between main canals and off-taking channels. Head regulators meter water entry while cross regulators feed off-taking canals and allow canal breaches to close downstream.
There are several ways canals can be classified:
1. Based on the source of water supply - permanent, non-perennial, or inundation canals.
2. Based on function - irrigation, navigation, power, or feeder canals.
3. Based on alignment - watershed/ridge, contour, or side slope canals.
4. Based on discharge capacity - main, branch, distributary, or water course canals.
5. Based on lining - lined or unlined canals.
Canal lining reduces water losses, prevents seepage issues, and lowers maintenance costs but requires a higher initial investment.

Precautions that can be taken include increasing the impervious floor thickness, providing sheet piles, and using energy dissipation structures.
1. Waterlogging occurs when soil pores are saturated with water, either temporarily or permanently, restricting air circulation. This can be caused by natural factors like heavy rainfall or human activities like poor irrigation management.
2. Waterlogging has negative effects including lack of soil aeration, reduced crop yields, and creation of unhealthy environments that can spread disease. Specific soil types like vertisols and planosols are more prone to waterlogging issues.
3. Understanding the causes and effects of waterlogging is important to address drainage problems and improve agricultural productivity on lands affected by excess water.
Cross drainage works are hydraulic structures constructed where canals cross natural drainages like rivers or streams. There are three main types depending on the relative bed levels of the canal and drainage: 1) where the canal passes over the drainage, 2) where the drainage passes over the canal, and 3) where their levels intersect. Common structures include aqueducts, super passages, and level crossings. The type of structure constructed depends on factors like relative bed levels, foundation conditions, economics, and hydraulic design considerations. Their purpose is to allow both the canal and drainage waters to flow smoothly in their respective directions.
Dams provide many benefits like improving quality of life through irrigation, flood control, hydropower, and more. However, they can also negatively impact the environment and human populations. Key impacts include displacing many people worldwide and inadequate compensation, harming terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by blocking animal migrations and altering natural river flows, and emitting greenhouse gases from reservoirs. While dams provide irrigation and hydropower, their construction often undercounts displaced people and fails to fully resettle them, compromising livelihoods. Cultural heritage sites can also be damaged or lost. Mitigation efforts are often insufficient to address these social and environmental impacts.
This document discusses Kennedy's theory of alluvial channel design and siltation. It provides two examples of applying Kennedy's theory to design irrigation channels given different parameters. It also lists some shortcomings of Kennedy's theory, including that it does not account for important factors like B/D ratio, silt grade, the relationship between flow velocity and slope, or the separation of silt concentration and bed load.
This document summarizes Lacey's regime theory for alluvial channel design. [1] Lacey proposed that silt is kept in suspension by vertical eddies generated along the wetted perimeter. [2] A channel is in "regime" if there is no silting or scouring. [3] Lacey defined three regime conditions - true, initial, and final - but acknowledged true regime can never be achieved in practice. The document then outlines Lacey's equations and design procedure for irrigation channels based on factors like discharge, silt factor, and side slopes.
Large dams are defined as over 15 meters tall, with over 57,000 worldwide. China has the most with over 23,000, followed by the US, India, Japan, and Brazil. While over 1000 dams were under construction in 1994, the rate of completion has declined from around 1000 per year from the 1950s to the 1970s to around 260 per year in the early 1990s. Large dams have faced significant opposition due to the huge numbers of people displaced, estimated between 40 to 80 million displaced globally, mostly in China and India, with many impoverished and suffering after being forced to relocate. Dams have also flooded over 400,000 square kilometers of land and over 13,500 people have been killed in
This document provides information about water resources in Pakistan. It states that Pakistan may run out of water by 2025 if actions are not taken due to increasing water stress. It notes that agriculture is the largest consumer of water resources in Pakistan, using over 90% of available water. However, only around 40% of irrigation water is used efficiently with the rest lost during conveyance and in fields. The document also provides details on irrigation systems and seasons in Pakistan.
The document discusses water requirements for crops and irrigation concepts. It provides definitions for key terms like gross commanded area, culturable commanded area, crop period, base period, delta, duty of water, and irrigation requirements for various crops. It lists the average delta values for important crops in Pakistan and discusses factors like water depth, number of irrigations, and seed and yield quantities for different kharif and rabi season crops.
The document discusses the design of irrigation channels. It covers the design of non-alluvial channels, which are excavated in non-silty soils like clay and do not experience silt deposition. The design involves selecting a channel shape and size so that the mean flow velocity is below the maximum permissible velocity for the soil type to prevent erosion. It provides tables of permissible velocities and Manning's roughness coefficients for different soil types. An example problem demonstrates how to use the Manning equation to design a trapezoidal channel with given discharge, slope and roughness.
Canal regulation works are structures constructed to regulate water flow in canals. This document discusses various types of canal regulation works including canal falls. Canal falls are constructed across canals to lower the water level and dissipate excess energy when the natural ground slope is steeper than the canal design slope. Different types of falls are discussed such as ogee falls, rapid falls, stepped falls, and others; each has a distinct design to best suit different ground level conditions and dissipate water energy. Proper construction of falls is necessary for efficient and safe operation of irrigation canals.
This document discusses different types of dams and their classification. It defines a dam as a massive barrier built across rivers and streams to store water. Dams are classified according to their use, hydraulic design, materials used, size, and height. The main types are storage dams, diversion dams, detention dams, non-overflow dams, overflow dams, rigid dams made of concrete/masonry, non-rigid earth/rockfill dams. Factors for selecting the appropriate dam type include topography, geology, materials, spillway design, reservoir size, and transportation access.
Kennedy's silt theory proposes that vertical eddies rising from the bed of an alluvial channel are responsible for keeping silt particles in suspension. The theory defines a critical velocity that will prevent silting or scouring. Kennedy's equation relates the critical velocity to the depth of flow. Later, Kennedy modified the equation to account for different silt grades by including a critical velocity ratio parameter. The theory provides a design procedure that involves iteratively selecting a trial depth and checking if the calculated mean velocity matches the critical velocity. If not, a new trial depth is selected until the velocities match.
This document discusses various methods of irrigation. It describes surface irrigation methods like furrow, border and basin irrigation. Furrow irrigation involves applying water in narrow channels between crop rows. Border irrigation divides fields into strips separated by ridges to guide water flow. Basin irrigation forms basins around trees to pond water. Sprinkler irrigation sprays water into the air through pipes and nozzles. Drip irrigation applies water slowly directly to plant roots through a piped network. Drip irrigation has high efficiency but requires clean water to prevent emitter blockages. Overall, surface methods have lower efficiency than sprinkler or drip irrigation due to higher losses from conveyance and deep percolation.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
