Sedimentation in the reservoir gradually reduces it s storage capacity. By keeping a check on the sedimentation and by providing control measures for the same,the reservoir life can be maintained. Uj jani dam was constructed for irrigation,water supply an d power generation schemes. It lies in Solapur dist rict which is a drought prone area. This makes Ujjani a socially and economically significant project for t he state. In the present study,reservoir sedimentatio n for Ujjani reservoir is assessed for monitoring p urpose. Two techniques namely Satellite Remote Sensing Tech nique (SRST) and mathematical modeling using HEC RAS,were used in the study for estimating sedi mentation. Owing to advantages like low cost,time saving,less manpower requirement,accuracy in esti mation and capability of carrying out past surveys,the Satellite Remote Sensing Technique is gaining impor tance over the time consuming and high cost conventional hydrographic surveys. The water spread areas for different reservoir levels were delineat ed from the satellite images of Ujjain Reservoir using ARC GIS software. Volume between two water levels was calculated using prismoidul formula. The presen t volume of reservoir was compared with the initial volume during impoundment of reservoir. This gave t he loss of volume which was due to sedimentation.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Editor's Notes
View of Tropical Storm Irene as it hovers over Northeast
Note: Bolded flows are flow of record.
The Charlemont USGS Gage is approximately 11-12 miles downstream of the Fife Brook Dam, between the gage and the dam are several major tributaries including Pelham Brook, Cold River (Rte 2 – sustained all the damage), Chickley River, etc. The Power Company at the dam reported their peak water release was 58,329 (initiated Emergency Action Plan). So where did all the water go?
The floodplain…. Last minute photo along the Deerfield River just before evacuating to higher ground… note the HWM at the gazebo reached was above the railing, approx. 2 feet higher than pictured here.
Example of where river used its floodplain. Hawlemont School’s ballfields and playground covered in silt left behind by the flood. Water reached the building and cause some damage. In upper right-hand part of photo is the location of the sewage treatment plant which was also underwater and rendered un-operational post flood.
The before photo was captured a couple of years ago. Note the widening of the river channel and the loss of 3-4 acres of land on the outside bend. As the water recedes, deposition will occur on the inside bend where a new cobble bar has formed.
The star denotes where a structure stood approximately 65-70 feet from the river bank. The river eroded right up to the footings of this structure. The yellow area is the approximate area of land where the river eroded on the outside bend.
Cold River & Deerfield River Confluence 2005
Cold River & Deerfield River Confluence Sept. 18, 2011 Confluence of Cold and Deerfield Rivers. The Deerfield River splits around an island just upstream of here – the Deerfield’s channels are the ones in the upper left and lower left. The Cold River comes in on the lower right hand side of the photo. The confluence use to be further downstream and on river right. You can see the change in channel characteristics as the Cold now enters further upstream
View from the ground. 1 st photo is the before photo with the two channels of the Deerfield River meeting just to the right of the photo and Cold River channel on the left hand side of the photo. 2 nd photo post Irene.
Bank stablization structure installed in July 2011; notice bridge in background and vertical placement of the structure.
Same location looking from bridge. Note, according to Friends of South River, the river channel use to flow into the downtown, but was realigned to make this hard left-hand turn to go under the bridge. FOSR and local regional planning agency were conducting a geomorphic assessment prior to the floods to address known problem areas. This might rank as #1 now.
Gabion Baskets were installed in 1987 – a type of bank hardening protection. Failure occurred at upstream end where water got in and behind the gabion baskets and peeled them away from the bank.
Photo on left is of Zoar Gap on the Deerfield River. As you can see the channel is confined by the road and railroad. Large boulders the size of cars were placed on the slope going down to the river. It appears the river scoured out the toe of these boulders and the rest of the hillside and road slide down into the river.
Breach of Green River Water Supply Dam…. Note road leading to bridge downstream and water intake pipe were washed out.
Washed out in October 2005 Flood, Dimensions 4.5 foot round culvert and 6.5 foot x 4 foot elliptical culvert.
Photos of River Continuity Training – note each year volunteers found this crossing to be undersized when compared to bankfull width Replaced with three 4 foot round culverts in 2005 at cost of $60K+
Post Irene replaced with two 5 foot round culverts at a cost of $70K+ Estimated $300-$400k for clear bridge span
Bronson Brook in Worthington represented a good restoration opportunity, as the under-sized, perched double-box culvert, had washed out on several occasions. Bronson Brook is a high-quality cold-water tributary to the East Branch of the Westfield River. This culvert was selected for replacement.
Green Mountain National Forest Findings Crossings replaced to meet Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) faired relatively well compared to other crossings USFS plan to: Capture post-geomorphic survey data Calculate and compare economic costs and impacts on communities Partner with Towns and Highway Departments to share and collect data
