Water exists on Earth in three states: liquid (oceans and freshwater), solid (ice), and gas (water vapor in the atmosphere). There is approximately 1.3 billion cubic kilometers of water on Earth, with 97.5% being saltwater and 2.5% freshwater. The hydrologic cycle describes how water moves between the atmosphere, land, and oceans through various processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. A hydrologist studies the distribution and movement of water both above and below the ground, including aspects of the hydrologic cycle, hydrologic budget, and interactions between water and geologic materials.
This document discusses fluvial landscapes and processes. It begins by defining base level as the lowest level a river can erode down to, which is ultimately sea level. It then describes how above base level, rivers engage in downcutting and have more energy for erosion. Closer to base level, rivers meander laterally and deposit material. Common landforms include meandering streams, floodplains, deltas, and entrenched meanders formed by tectonic uplift. The document also discusses drainage patterns, watersheds, stream flow, fluvial processes of erosion and deposition, and flooding events.
The document summarizes coastal processes and landforms. It discusses how waves, currents, tides, and sea level changes sculpt coastal regions. It also describes various coastal landforms that result from erosion and deposition, including beaches, spits, barrier islands, and lagoons. Coastal zones experience highly energetic conditions due to constant interactions between land, ocean, and atmosphere.
Watershed delineation and LULC mappingKapil Thakur
Watershed Delineation - a watershed as an enormous bowl. As water falls onto the bowl’s rim, it either flows down the inside of the bowl or down the outside of the bowl. The rim of the bowl or the watershed boundary is sometimes referred to as the ridgeline or watershed divide. This ridge line separates one watershed from
another.
Topographic maps created by the United States Geological Survey can help you to determine a watershed’s boundaries.
Land use and land cover map (LULC Mapping) -
Land cover indicates the physical land type such as forest or open water whereas land use documents how people are using the land. … Land cover maps provide information to help managers best understand the current landscape. To see change over time, land cover maps for several different years are needed.
Here are the key periglacial processes likely occurring around the glacier shown in Figure 2:
- Frost shattering of rock producing scree slopes at the base of valley sides due to repeated freezing and thawing.
- Solifluction occurring on valley sides within the active layer, transporting fine material downslope and leaving lobes and terraces.
- Nivation occurring in hollows beneath snowpatches on north-facing slopes, deepening the hollows through frost action and meltwater erosion.
- Patterned ground such as stone stripes forming in better drained areas subjected to freeze-thaw cycles.
- Fluvial erosion by meltwater streams flowing from the glacier, causing erosion and leaving braided
The document discusses groundwater usage and management in India. It notes that groundwater provides 61% of irrigation needs, 85% of rural drinking water, and 45% of urban water supply. However, 803 of 5845 assessment units in India are overexploited, and levels are declining in many areas. The Central Ground Water Board's objectives include comprehensive aquifer mapping, management plans, capacity building, and regulation to shift from "groundwater development" to "groundwater management" in a sustainable way through community participation. The goals are to improve data accuracy, manage aquifers locally, ensure drinking water security, and sustainably develop groundwater resources.
This document discusses remote sensing and GIS applications for studying glaciers and snow cover. It describes different types of glaciers, snow cover, and cryosphere regions like the Arctic and Antarctica. MODIS instruments on Terra and Aqua satellites are used to map global snow cover monthly and observe changes in Arctic sea ice extent over time. GIS tools can integrate satellite imagery with digital elevation models to analyze glacier changes and snow melt runoff. Monitoring snow and glaciers is important for assessing climate change impacts and managing water resources in regions like the Himalayas.
Cartography is the science and art of map making. Maps are representations of areas of the earth on a flat surface and include titles, scales, legends, and source statements. Scale expresses the ratio between distances on a map and in real life using statements of scale, representative fractions, and linear scales. There are different units of measurement for distances and scales can be small, showing larger areas with less detail, or large, showing smaller areas with more detail. Maps are also classified based on their communicative objectives like reference maps or thematic maps, and by their subject matter and function like cadastral, topographic, soil, weather, and population maps.
This document provides an overview of free and open source GIS software. It discusses what open source GIS is, including the four basic freedoms it provides. It outlines some major open source GIS projects like QGIS, GRASS, PostGIS, GeoServer, and OpenLayers. The document explains why one would use and teach open source GIS, including low costs, community support, and driving innovation. It also addresses some common misconceptions about open source GIS software.
This document outlines a water security planning case study from Chhuanthar Tlangnuam village in Mizoram, India. It describes the village demographics, 6 springs that supply water, and seasonal water availability. Field visits involved mapping resources and social aspects, surveys of households, and water demand calculations. Analysis found water demand exceeds supply in summer. A water security plan was developed to address the gap.
This document describes Arc SWAT, an ArcGIS extension tool for watershed modeling using SWAT. It can be used for developing inflow-outflow models, estimating water resources, managing check dams, and quantifying impacts of land use change. The document provides details on how Arc SWAT works, including delineating watersheds and subbasins, defining land use/soil/slope data, determining hydrologic response units, and running SWAT simulations. It then presents a case study applying ArcSWAT to model the Poondi sub-watershed in India.

1. Rivers carry out three main processes - erosion, transportation, and deposition. Erosion occurs as rivers wear away land, transportation is the movement of eroded sediments downstream, and deposition happens when sediments settle out of the river.
2. The speed of a river's flow is determined by factors like discharge, channel shape, roughness, slope, and gradient. Faster flows lead to turbulent patterns that can transport larger sediments, while slower flows result in deposition of sediments.
3. Rivers erode their channels through hydraulic action, corrasion, attrition, and solution. Sediments are transported in different ways depending on their size - through traction, saltation, or suspension. When flow speeds decrease,
Most deserts have highly angular landscapes due to mechanical weathering dominating over deposition. Desert rainfall is infrequent, intense, and unreliable, causing flash flooding and erosion. The three main types of deserts are ergs, which are large seas of sand; regs with thin desert pavements of stones; and hamadas dominated by bedrock. In deserts, fluvial erosion carves steep canyons, while deposition forms alluvial fans. Aeolian processes cause erosion through deflation and abrasion, and deposition forms migrating dunes like barchans and transverse dunes. Desert terrain also includes basin and range topography with pediments and playas, and resistant rock landforms emerge like insel
Earth's interior consists of four regions: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Rocks are composed of minerals, and there are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, and can be plutonic or volcanic. Sedimentary rocks form from the lithification of sediments, and there are clastic and chemical/organic types. Metamorphic rocks were originally igneous or sedimentary rocks that were changed by heat and pressure. Landforms are shaped by internal and external geomorphic processes over geologic timescales.
The document discusses several basin modeling software packages that can be used to analyze sedimentary basins and aid in hydrocarbon exploration. It describes the key capabilities of BasinMod, BMT, Genesis, and other tools for modeling the burial and thermal histories of basins, source rock maturation, and hydrocarbon migration and trapping over geologic time in order to better understand petroleum systems. The modeling software packages employ techniques like backstripping, thermal modeling, and fluid flow modeling to simulate basin evolution and hydrocarbon generation.
Transportation involves the movement of people and the shipment of goods from one location to another.
A geospatial model of a transportation network is comprised of linear features and the points of intersection between them.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/

Microservice Teams - How the cloud changes the way we workSven Peters
A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.
