From desk of Faculty Members….
Dear Student,
Water is one of the resource which we all need to converse and
recycle and as an engineer, we must develop the technologies
related to recycling water which would be easily accessible to
common man. Always remember there is way to innovation and
creativeness in technology for improvement.
We need to conserve water and forest to balance ecosystem for
healthy leaving in future.
Grow with nature which is long lasting..!! Dr. U.J. Kahalekar
(Principal GECA)
Dear Student,
With 40% of population facing severe water shortage in next decade,
we need to support water conservation on a war footing. INDIA is
gifted with astonishingly beautiful and distinctive lakes. Not only do
these lakes act as water reservoirs, but also play an vital role in
maintaining the ecological balance. Sadly, many of these water bodies
have now either dried up, filled up for development or are heavily
polluted. With Indians already facing a severe water crunch,
predicted by scientists to worsen by 2030, it is imperative for us to
take action.
Dear Reader,
Less than 50 per cent of the population in India has access to
safely managed drinking water. Chemical contamination of water,
mainly through fluoride and arsenic, is present in 1.96 million
dwellings. So, as water engineer we need to optimize the water
availability to demand of people and conserve the water for
future.
Dr. D.G. Regulwar
(Professor GECA)
Dr. G.K. Patil
(HCED GECA)
Dear Student,
Natural water bodies are sources of drinking water, help control
floods, support biodiversity and regenerate groundwater. There are
many scope in field of water conservation and water recycling in
coming year in India. Focus yourself to develop different technology
related to water recycling and water conservation and water
recharging.

Everything you want to know about drinking
water
Why is drinking water important?
 Water is extremely crucial for the proper functioning of the human body.
 Infact, about 60 percent of the human body is made up of water while blood consists of 90
percent water.
 Water lubricates the joints, forms an integral part of saliva and mucus and most importantly
carries oxygen to different parts of the body through the blood.
 It also provides a cushion for the brain, spinal cord and other sensitive tissues; keeps the skin
healthy; regulates body temperature; helps in digestion; flushes out waste and maintains
functioning of the kidneys; helps maintain blood pressure and dissolves vital minerals and
nutrients in the body.
What is safe drinking water? What is the state of drinking water in India?
What are the sources of drinking water?
 Freshwater i.e. water available for drinking is a rare and valuable resource! While water covers
two thirds of the earth's surface, most of it is salty and not suitable for drinking.
 Only 2.7 percent of the available water on earth is freshwater and only 1 percent of the
available freshwater can be accessed for use from rivers, lakes and groundwater.
What is potable drinking water?
 Although we need to drink a good amount of water to stay healthy, this drinking water needs
to be potable i.e. suitable for human consumption. It has to be drinkable and safe.
 Drinkable water should appear clear to the naked eye and be free of unpleasant odours, tastes
and colours and be of optimum temperature. In addition to this, it has to be safe and free
from toxins, carcinogens, pathogenic micro-organisms and any other factors causing health
hazards.
 Safe water is essential for all domestic uses that include drinking, food preparation and
personal hygiene. Safe water is not necessarily pure, it can have some impurities like traces of
salts such as magnesium, calcium, carbonates, bicarbonates etc.
 A 'safely managed drinking water service" is "one located on premises, available when needed
and free from contamination". According to the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme
(JMP) for Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene, “safe drinking water” is defined as water from
an “improved water source,” which includes household connections, public standpipes,
boreholes, protected dug wells, protected springs and rainwater collections. According to the
same organisation, “access to safe drinking water” is defined as the availability of at least 20 l
per person per day from an “improved” source within 1 km of the user’s dwelling.

Everything you want to know about drinking water………….
What are the sources of drinking water in India?
 Drinking water in India is mostly derived from groundwater that is pumped via handpumps
from borewells, tubewells, dugwells, and surface water sources like rivers, streams, ponds and
lakes.
 The National Sample Survey Office's (NSSO) data - 76th round provides an overview of the
various sources of drinking water available in urban and rural India.
 The data shows that groundwater is the most reliable source of drinking water for nearly 43
percent of the rural population in the country.
How is drinking water accessed in India?
 Access to water continues to be a challenge in India. The NSSO data shows that only one in
every five households have access to piped water connections in the country. Rural areas
continue to lag behind in terms of access to piped water as compared to urban.
 Around 58.3 percent of households still rely on hand pumps, tube wells, public taps, piped
water from neighbour, protected or unprotected wells, and private or public taps for their
water.
 As high as 48.6 percent rural households and 28 percent urban households have to survive
without access to an improved source (devoid of contamination/safe) of drinking water
throughout the year. Also, 11.3 percent households do not get sufficient drinking water from
their primary sources throughout the year.
 The recently released NFHS-5 (2019-2020) data also shows that while access to drinking water
from improved sources has increased in the 22 states surveyed as compared to NFHS (2015-
2016) , rural areas still continue to lag behind as compared to urban in terms of access to safe
drinking water.
How does drinking water become unsafe?
 Water sources can get polluted because of a range of harmful contaminants. The common
contaminants occurring in drinking water can be classified into:
 Inorganic contaminants: include metals such as fluoride, arsenic, lead, copper, chromium,
mercury, antimony, cyanide that can get into drinking water (surface as well as groundwater)
from natural sources, industrial processes, as well as from plumbing systems.
 Organic contaminants include pesticides, untreated domestic and industrial wastes etc that
can get into rivers, lakes, ponds and even groundwater. Contamination through organic
materials can cause serious health problems like cancers, hormonal disruptions, and nervous
system disorders.
 Biological contaminants include the presence of living organisms, such as algae, bacteria,
protozoa or viruses in the water. Each of these can lead to a range of health problems among
humans.
 Radiological contaminants include radioactive materials that are found naturally in the soil or
rocks or generated through industrial wastes that can get mixed with drinking water (surface
water as well as groundwater) at the source.

Top 12 Best Open Source Software in Water Resources
Why are these software the best?
 Because they are supported by big institutions and scientific communities.
 Because they are always being updated.
 Because documentation, tutorials and manuals are available.
 Because there are a lot of research projects and publications related to them.
1. QGIS - QGIS is the most popular GIS tool with an impressive trajectory and a vibrant community.
It also even has a particular ecosystem of complements called “plugins”. QGIS is a completely open
source alternative that reduces the cost barriers since it does not need a paid license and can be
executed in any operative system.
Web: www.qgis.org
2. SAGA GIS - SAGA GIS is a GIS platform oriented to spatial analysis. SAGA GIS is a simple but
powerful tool, with a big library focused on spatial analysis and characterization of basins. The
interpolation options in SAGA GIS are better implemented than in other free and commercial
software.
Web: www.saga-gis.org
3. HEC-RAS - The numerical model HEC-RAS is developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This
model uses the gradient and topography to evaluate the flow depth, velocities and flooded zones.
It is also useful to calculate sediment transport and water temperature.
Web: hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/
4. iRIC - iRIC (International River Interface Cooperative) is a software developed with the purpose
of offering a complete simulation environment of the riverbed and its results can be exported and
used to analyze, mitigate and prevent disasters, through the visualization of the results of the river
simulation.
Web: http://i-ric.org/en/
5. HEC-HMS - The Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) is designed to simulate the hydrologic
processes in basins. The software includes traditional procedures of hydrologic analysis, such as
infiltration events, unit hydrograms and routing. HEC-HMS also includes modules for
evapotranspiration, snow melting and calculus of soil humidity.
Web: www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-hms
Why use free software?
 First of all, because it is free. It does not have a monetary cost, does not require a license and
can be used by anyone.
 Another important reason is that their use improves the transparency of water resources and
environmental evaluations since the results can be shared, supervised and observations can be
made. In this way, software does not become an obstacle to understand and discuss impacts.

6. PRMS - The modeling code PRMS (Precipitation Runoff Modeling System) is a modular system
of spatially distributed parameters, which represent the physical processes of a basin. It was
developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to evaluate the effects of several
combinations of geomorphology, type of soil, soil use, vegetation and climatic parameters in the
hydrological response of a basin.
Web: wwwbrr.cr.usgs.gov/projects/SW_MoWS/PRMS.html
7. SWAT - SWAT is a tool to evaluate soil and water at a basin scale. It is focused in precipitation-
runoff modeling and transport of water and solutes through surface flow. It predicts the impacts
of soil management practices in water resources and sediments
Web: swat.tamu.edu
8. MODFLOW - This code performs groundwater modeling based on finite differences developed
by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). It is capable of simulating groundwater 2D and 3D
flux and simulate the principal physical processes related to the groundwater regime such as
recharge, evapotranspiration, pumping, drainage, etc.
Web: http://water.usgs.gov/ogw/modflow/
9. MT3DMS - The MT3DMS package is a mass transport model coupled to a flux model in
MODFLOW. The MT3DMS code simulates advection, dispersion/diffusion and chemical reactions
of adsorption/absorption of contaminants in groundwater.
Web: http://hydro.geo.ua.edu/mt3d/
10. OpenFOAM - Pretty much any physical phenomenon associated to fluid dynamics can be
represented with this software. The amount of packages incorporated and also its condition of an
open source code make it useful to explore the possibilities of modeling several types of problems
including the addition of a reactive model.
Web: www.openfoam.org
11. Python - This is the favorite code for scientific, water resources and environment analysis. It
has several packages for different tools such as GIS, mathematical analysis and artificial
intelligence. If a complete tool for manipulation, processing and plotting of data is needed,
Python – Scipy is an effective, versatile and free code solution.
Webs: www.python.org, www.scipy.org
12. R - R is a programming language for statistic calculations and graphics generation. It is easy to
understand and makes it possible to make complicated analysis with just a few lines of code. It is
the best option to perform spatial analysis since it incorporates several interpolation options.

THE INDIAN SOCIETY FOR HYDRAULICS
A TECHNICAL, EDUCATIONAL AND NON PROFITERY VOLUNTARY NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
The country's water, energy, transportation and other allied developmental fields have witnessed growth in
crests and troughs over the past few decades.What India, for many years, lacked was a centralised
governing body to chronicle, archive and scientifically anaylse the effectiveness and impact of new
technologies in these core infrastructural sectors.The field of Hydraulics Engineering, a key discipline that
bridges the infrastructural channels of an economy, was in dire need of a presiding authority to bring
order and a measure of planned structure to the process of growth.

Sustainable Smart City
By Abhijit Keshkar & Satish Taiji
Developed cities have always played an important part in the economy and development of a
country. However, with the industrial revolution, these cities grew significantly and became the
epicenter of social, economic, and political complexities. The industry drives individuals from
rural areas to cities, resulting in the growth of unauthorized colonies and slum regions. The
majority of the time, slum communities have not considered gaining access to numerous local
government facilities. When these unauthorized colonies demand facilities, additional pressure
is imposed on current management services, resulting in a demand-supply gap and, as a result,
issues begin to arise. Smart city development has been more prominent in recent years as a
means of addressing such concerns. Since the 1990s, the phrase "smart cities" has been used
by the government and urban planners to identify cities and promote them as innovative.
However, there is no globally acknowledged definition of smart cities, and definitions might
differ from country to country or even city to city. For instance,
The British Standards Institution defines the smart city as “Effective integration of various
systems (viz. physical, digital and human) in the built environment which provides sustainable,
affluent and inclusive future for its citizens.”
International Business Machine (IBM) defines the smart city in their guide as “A city which uses
its available resources for the benefits of its citizen with making balance its needs (viz. social,
commercial and environmental).”
Smart Cities Council India defines a smart city as “It uses information and technology (ICT) to
enhance its livability, workability, and sustainability.”
The U.S. Office of Scientific and Technical Information defines a smart city as “a city which
monitors and integrates conditions of all of its critical infrastructures for better optimization of
its resources, to plan its preventive measures, and monitor security aspects while maximizing
the services to its citizens.”
The world's urban population has increased dramatically over the past few decades. The
number of megacities has skyrocketed, primarily in the developing world. According to United
Nations estimates, 66% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, posing significant
issues in terms of air pollution, traffic congestion, waste management, and human health. On
the other side, current cities have already become vulnerable to climate change, responsible
for enormous greenhouse gas emissions and starving for supply of increased energy demand.
The development of a smart city has become a trend to solve such challenges and issues in
urban areas. Smart city development, in comparison to conventional urban planning
techniques, intends to offer a higher quality of life with advanced services in most countries.
Smart city objectives, on the other hand, have switched from sustainable development to
technological advancement. In this context, a discussion of the idea of a smart city, especially
role and definition, has become critically important.

Sustainable Smart City………
Hence, a smart city could be defined as "a system that uses all available new technologies to
solve various problems (such as social, environmental, economic, and technical) while working
within resource constraints and improving the standard of living through an integrated
approach with sustainability." As a result, a smart city should view limited resources as a
constraint and use new technologies to address urban concerns to achieve urban sustainability.
In conclusion, instead of referring to the phrase ‘Smart City”, the notion should change to
‘Sustainable Smart City’ to promote and incorporate urban sustainability in modern
development. All we intend to say is that it is time to apply all possible smart technologies or
techniques to achieve more sustainable solutions in every possible way to preserve today’s
nature and its beauty for tomorrow's generation.
Despite the fact that most of these definitions describe a smart city in terms of technological
advancements, mobility, smart governance, the standard of living, and sustainability, there is
still a mismatch between what citizens want from smart cities. Furthermore, a smart city is a
multidisciplinary concept that must be defined while taking into account all of its components
and aspects. Besides this, the smart city concept should not be based on a specific goal, but
rather on some features or attributes that can be used for assessment and evaluation.
However, no such criteria or qualities have been used in the definitions, and as a result, the
concept and goals of the smart city vary per country or location. If we consider the smart city as
a system with several components (for example, infrastructure, governance, resources,
technology, and so on), it should intelligently connect these components and function as a
unified unit.

Assessment of Climate Change
by Yogesh Barokar
28
The statistical relation between locally available climatic parameters and GCM outputs can be
use with ANN (Artificial Neural Network) or Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict climate
variables for future periods. By using statistical downscaling approach we can predict climatic
variables such as temperature, precipitation upto the year 2099. These downscaling results can
be extracted in daily as well as monthly format. For a selected region if we extracted daily
future values of climatic variables it can be use to study the effect of these variables on
different fields such as agriculture, water resources etc. To perform this statistical downscaling
there are various GCMs are available such as CGCM3 (Coupled General Circulation Model,
Version 3), HadCM3 (Hadley Centre Coupled Model, Version 3), CMIP5 (Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project Version 5), CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Version 6)
etc. Each GCM gives climatic data with different grid resolution. For Indian region we generally
prefer HadCM3 GCM which gives better results over other GCMs.
A long-term shift in global or regional climate patterns can be called as climate change. The
change in climate can cause variation in different climatic parameters such as temperature,
precipitation etc. Change in climate can affect on various fields such as water resources, sea
level rise and inundation, natural disasters, other ecosystem services, human health etc. Main
cause of this climate change is increase in greenhouse gases. The concentration of CO2 and
other greenhouse gases are increasing day by day which is causing disturbance in the climate
(Mahmood 2014). To deal with effects of climate change it is necessary to study the different
climatic parameters and there changing patterns. In such study “Downscaling” gives better
results. Downscaling is the the procedure in which prediction of information is done for local
scale area from the available information of large scale area (Saraf V.R. and Regulwar D.G.
2018). Downscaling can be performed in statistical way (Statistical relationship between
predictors and predictands) or dynamical way ( Using ‘Regional Climate Model’ for local scale
area) (Wilby et.al. 2002). Statistical approach gives good results in less time compared to
dynamic downscaling (Wilby et al 2000). In statistical downscaling GCM (Global Circulation
Model) plays important role, GCM gives climatic variables and there distribution globally. In
statistical downscaling we can form one statistical relation between GCM outputs and our
locally available climatic variables, this relation helps us to predict the future values of selected
climatic variable over the given region. There are various methods available by which statistical
downscaling can be done such as SDSM (Statistical Downscaling Model), the stochastic weather
generator (LARS-WG) etc.
Downscaling results can be used with different software such as CropWat, to find out future
irrigation scheduling of different crops over selected region, SWAT (Soil & Water Assessment
Tool),to find out future discharge values for a selected river cross section etc. In this way the
results of these downscaling are useful in the assessment of climate change for the future
series.
