AGRICULTURE INFORMATION SYSTEM USING
REMOTE SENSING, GEOGRAPHICAL
ANALYSIS & WEB APPLICATION
In prospective of Indian agriculture, agriculture is highly depends on various
influencing factor, change of weather, climatic condition, temperature,
atmospheric pressure, monsoon, soil texture, irrigation facilities, crop, its
verity selection, time of plantation and many more factor. Now present
scenario to make agriculture a profitable business we have to keep all these
influencing factor in mind take a decision based on it. For the insurance
companies to valuate crop; sugar miles, pesticide makers have need of
information about covered area by certain crop at particular instant. There is
need of information system that provides information which will fulfill the
interest of major and minor stake holder of agriculture business. And the
mode of information delivering mechanism will be easy to access and cheap
in expense.
In this project we will try to make an agriculture information system that
overcome most of the above problem in which we used remote sensing data
for information generation to cover large area and serving it by web
application. These information includes crop covered area, and watershed
etc.
ICLR Friday Forum: Modelling of Future Flood Risk Across Canada (May 31, 2019)glennmcgillivray
On May 31, 2019, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar lead by Dr. Slobodan Simonovic of Western University titled 'Modelling of Future Flood Risk Across Canada Under Climate Change.'
Climate change has induced changes in key climate variables and the hydrological cycle across Canada. With continuous emission of greenhouse gases, this trend is expected to continue over the 21st century and beyond. In this study, a macro-scaled hydrodynamic model is used to simulate 25 km resolution daily streamflow across Canada for historical (1961-2005) and future (2061-2100) timelines.
Future projections from 21 GCMs following four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) were used for the analysis. Changes in the frequency and magnitude of historical 100-year and 250-year return period flood events and month of occurrence of peak flow are analyzed. Results obtained from uncertainty analysis for both return period flood events found that flood frequency will increase in most of the northern Canada, southern Ontario, southern British Columbia, northern Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. However, northern British Columbia, northern Ontario, Manitoba and northeastern Quebec will be facing decrease in flood frequency. Results indicate that 40%-60% of Canada’s 100 most populated cities including many prominent cities such as Toronto and Montreal are high at risk of increased riverine flooding under climate change.
Slobodan P. Simonovic is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Western Ontario and Director of Engineering Studies at ICLR. Prof. Simonovic is globally recognized for his unique interdisciplinary research in Systems Analysis and has over 500 professional publications and three major textbooks. Prof. Simonovic was inducted to the Canadian Academy of Engineering in June of 2013.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
