Non susceptibility slideshare
This document summarizes a study that aimed to define areas that are not susceptible to landslides in Italy and the Mediterranean region. The researchers tested two methods (Method I and Method II) to determine non-susceptible areas using landslide inventory data from Italy and terrain data. Method II, which used quantile non-linear regression, performed best by correctly identifying over 94% of non-susceptible areas in validation tests. Applying this method identified 63% of the Mediterranean region as non-susceptible to landslides. The researchers conclude this approach can help define large-scale non-susceptible areas for applications like land planning and landslide early warning systems.

Landslide_Mapping_Sri lanka
This document presents a landslide susceptibility map created for Sri Lanka using a bivariate statistical method. Six factors that influence landslide susceptibility are identified: lithology, soil type, landuse, slope, aspect, and curvature. GIS software is used to generate weighted maps for each factor based on statistical analysis of landslide occurrences. These weighted maps are then combined through map algebra to create a final landslide hazard susceptibility map for Sri Lanka. The workflow involves data preparation steps like rasterization of vector data, reclassification of aspect, slope and curvature, followed by zonal statistics analysis and calculation of weight values to produce individual weighted maps for each factor, which are then summed to obtain the final susceptibility map.

Precipitation and rain gauges
This document provides information on measuring precipitation. It discusses various types of rain gauges used to measure precipitation, including non-recording gauges, tipping bucket gauges, and weighing bucket gauges. It also discusses methods to estimate average rainfall over a watershed area, including the arithmetic mean method, Thiessen polygon method, and isohyetal method. Additionally, it covers depth-area-duration curves and the frequency of rainfall events.
Measurement of precipitation (rainfall )
Measurement of rainfall is done using rain gauges, which collect precipitation and allow the amount to be measured. Non-recording rain gauges, like the commonly used Symons gauge in India, collect rainfall in a vessel that is read daily to determine the amount of precipitation. Recording rain gauges produce a continuous plot of rainfall over time through mechanisms like tipping buckets, weighing the collected water, or tracking a float level. Proper placement and regular maintenance of rain gauges is important for accurate measurement of precipitation.

Hydrology measuring rain
This document provides an overview of a hydrometry course covering measurement of various components of the hydrological cycle including precipitation, evaporation, soil moisture, and streamflow. It discusses different types of instruments used to measure these variables such as raingauges, evaporation pans, neutron probes, tensiometers, and current meters. Measurement methods include manual observation as well as automated data recording using devices like data loggers. The goal is to introduce concepts and terminology for quantifying water in the hydrological cycle.
Measurement of precipitation
There are three main types of recording rain gauges:
1) Tipping bucket gauges contain two buckets that tip when 0.25mm of rain is collected, actuating an electric circuit to mark rainfall on a revolving chart.
2) Weighing gauges use a spring-lever balance to move a pen across a chart as rainfall accumulates in a collecting tank.
3) Float gauges move a pen as rain fills a float chamber, with an overflow siphon chamber automatically draining excess water. The clockwork chart records rainfall over 24 hours.
Rain gauge
Rain gauges are instruments used to measure liquid precipitation over time. The first rain gauges date back to ancient Greece around 500 BC. Modern rain gauges generally use a funnel to collect precipitation in a cylinder or tipping bucket. Common types include standard cylinders, weighing buckets, tipping buckets, optical sensors, and acoustic sensors. Rain gauges provide important data for meteorologists and hydrologists.
Methods of measuring rainfall
This document discusses methods for measuring rainfall and runoff. It describes various types of rain gauges used to measure rainfall manually and remotely, including standard, weighing, optical, and tipping bucket rain gauges. Factors around the number and distribution of rain gauges are also covered. The document then shifts to discussing methods for measuring runoff, including using mathematical models, the runoff curve number method, and equipment for simulating and measuring surface runoff and erosion from natural and extreme precipitation events in catchment areas.
Rainfall measurement methods
This document discusses different methods for measuring and averaging rainfall over an area:
- Rainfall is measured using rain gauges and expressed as depth over an area.
- The arithmetic mean, Thiessen polygon, and isohyet methods are used to calculate average rainfall values from point measurements at rain gauge stations.
- The Thiessen polygon method assigns influence areas to each station based on the location of stations, and weights each measurement by its influence area.
- The isohyet method involves drawing lines of equal rainfall and calculating a weighted average based on the rainfall amounts and sizes of the areas between the lines.
Precipitation
Environmental hydrology involves the study of precipitation, which is a key input in hydrology. Precipitation occurs through various processes including cooling of air masses, condensation of water vapor, and growth of water droplets. It takes different forms such as rain, snow, hail, and sleet. Precipitation data is important for applications in agriculture, water resources management, and design of hydraulic structures. It is analyzed using techniques like consistency checks using double mass curves and estimation of missing data.
Precipitation and its estimation
This document discusses precipitation measurement and estimation. It begins by defining precipitation and its different types. It then discusses various methods for measuring precipitation, including manual and automatic rain gauges. It emphasizes the importance of establishing a raingauge network according to WMO recommendations to spatially average precipitation measurements over a region. The document concludes by outlining different methods that can be used to estimate missing precipitation data, including station averaging, normal ratio, inverse distance weighting, and regression techniques.
Precipitation presentation
Precipitation occurs when moisture in the atmosphere condenses and falls to the surface. The main types of precipitation are rain, snow, hail, fog, dew, mist, glaze, rime, sleet. Precipitation is measured using rain gauges, snow gauges, radars, and satellites. Rain gauges include non-recording and recording types like tipping bucket, weighing, and float gauges. Recording gauges provide rainfall duration and intensity data in addition to total amounts.
Rain guage
The document discusses rainfall measurement techniques used at Vigyan Ashram Pabal. It describes both recording and non-recording rain gauges that are used to collect rainfall data over time. Recording rain gauges automatically record rainfall measurements along with other data like wind and temperature. Non-recording rain gauges simply collect rainfall in a calibrated funnel and bottle that must be manually measured. Rainfall measurements are taken daily and involve determining the volume of water collected and calculating the rainfall in mm based on the collector surface area. This data is used to analyze rainfall statistics and averages for the area.

Evaluation of Groundwater Resource Potential using GIS and Remote Sensing App...
Environment and Development are the two wheels of the cart. However, they become antagonists at some
points. It has been witnessed many a times that development is done at the cost of environment. Analysis and
assessment tools like GIS along with Remote Sensing have proved to be very efficient and effective and hence
useful for management of natural resources. Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extent. In order to
ensure a judicious use of groundwater, proper evaluation is required. There is an urgent need of planned and
optimal development of water resources. An appropriate strategy is required to develop water resources with
planning based on conjunctive use of surface and subsurface water resources. Integrated remote sensing and GIS
can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data sets for decision making in
groundwater management and planning. Sustainable water resources development and management necessarily
depends on proper planning, implementation, operation and maintenance. The interpretation of remote sensing
data in conjunction with conventional data and sufficient ground truth information makes it possible to identify
and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydrologic
characters that may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of ground and surface water. Remotely
sensed data provides unbiased information on geology, geomorphology, structural pattern and recharging
conditions, which logically define the groundwater regime of an area. Groundwater resource potential has been
evaluated in Pulivendula-Sanivaripalli, Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and
Geographic information system. Under this study, three thematic maps viz. Geological map (Lithology and
Structure), Geomorphological map and Hydro morphological maps were prepared. These thematic maps have
been integrated with the help of GIS. Appropriate weightage has been assigned to various factors controlling
occurrence of groundwater to assess the groundwater potential in each segment of the study area. The area has
been classified into high potential, moderate potential, low potential and non-potential zones landforms ground

suggested to impound the excessive run off so as to augment the ground water resources of the area.
Evaluation of Groundwater Resource Potential using GIS and Remote Sensing App...
Environment and Development are the two wheels of the cart. However, they become antagonists at some
points. It has been witnessed many a times that development is done at the cost of environment. Analysis and
assessment tools like GIS along with Remote Sensing have proved to be very efficient and effective and hence
useful for management of natural resources. Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extent. In order to
ensure a judicious use of groundwater, proper evaluation is required. There is an urgent need of planned and
optimal development of water resources. An appropriate strategy is required to develop water resources with
planning based on conjunctive use of surface and subsurface water resources. Integrated remote sensing and GIS
can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data sets for decision making in
groundwater management and planning. Sustainable water resources development and management necessarily
depends on proper planning, implementation, operation and maintenance. The interpretation of remote sensing
data in conjunction with conventional data and sufficient ground truth information makes it possible to identify
and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydrologic
characters that may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of ground and surface water. Remotely
sensed data provides unbiased information on geology, geomorphology, structural pattern and recharging
conditions, which logically define the groundwater regime of an area. Groundwater resource potential has been
evaluated in Pulivendula-Sanivaripalli, Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and
Geographic information system. Under this study, three thematic maps viz. Geological map (Lithology and
Structure), Geomorphological map and Hydro morphological maps were prepared. These thematic maps have
been integrated with the help of GIS. Appropriate weightage has been assigned to various factors controlling
occurrence of groundwater to assess the groundwater potential in each segment of the study area. The area has
been classified into high potential, moderate potential, low potential and non-potential zones landforms ground
water development on the basis of hydromorphological studies. Some of the favorable locations have been
suggested to impound the excessive run off so as to augment the ground water resources of the area.
Abbottabad State of Environment and Development Plan
This document provides an overview of the state of various sectors in Abbottabad district. It finds that while agriculture is the mainstay of the economy, it operates at a subsistence level with low yields. Forests cover over 20% of the land but are severely degraded. Unemployment is high at 32% and opportunities are limited. Basic services like education, health, water and waste management are inadequate especially in rural areas. Tourism potential remains untapped despite rich biodiversity. Several development projects have contributed to sectors like agriculture, natural resources and microenterprise, but their impact remains limited. Overall, the district faces significant challenges in environmental protection, poverty reduction and improving livelihoods.

Implementation Concepts of Sudan Integrated Geospatial Information Frame
Sudan Survey Authority SSA initiated implementation of Sudan National Basemap System SNBS for Federal and State government entities. The SNBS has been designed and now at its implementation stage in the National Basemap Center in SSA. The SNBS shall be integrated with Sudan federal and state government entities as a common base map for the National integrated Geospatial frame, to be in line with United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management frames. SSA will take the role of prime SNBS implementer with the corporation of all its strategic Stakeholders in the country and the region. This paper, demonstrates how SSA will fully meet SNBS requirements and the needs of all surveying, National Mapping and Geospatial authorities in Sudan. Throughout its initiative, SSA will utilize its existing networks to deliver collective benefits based upon collaborative development, and to build an effective partnership to ensure the utilization of geospatial services at all levels of government across the Sudan. Other primary objective of this initiative is to create an enhanced data management system that will improve the level of support for the activities in SSA by providing a solution that enables the effective and efficient provision of geospatial information to Sudan geospatial community.
