A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Ā
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Ā
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 Caesarās dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireās 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 Empireās 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.

3. Why do we need water harvesting?
āEarth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not a single
man's greed.ā
-Mahatma Gandhi
Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water
usage within a region. According to United Nations Development Programme, this currently
affects around 2.8 billion people around the world, on all continents, at least one month out of
every year and more than 1.2 billion people lack the access to clean drinking water.
Over-consumption/excessive or unnecessary use of resources, Overpopulation, Slash and
burn agricultural practices in developing countries, Technological and industrial development,
Erosion, Habitat degradation leads to the loss of Biodiversity (i.e. species and ecosystems with
its ecosystem services), Irrigation, Mining for oil and minerals, Aquifer depletion, Pollution or
contamination of resources are the major factors responsible for the eminent water crisis.
6. SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?.........
WATER HARVESTING TECHNIQUES
Water Harvesting refers to collection and storage of rainwater and also other activity such as
harvesting surface water extracting ground water , prevention of loss through evaporation and
seepage.
Rainwater harvesting has been practiced for more than 4,000 years, it is also a good
option in areas where good quality fresh surface water or ground water is lacking. In doing so,
water harvesting assures a continuous and reliable access to water. The role of rainwater
harvesting systems as sources of supplementary, back-up, or emergency water supply will
become more important especially in view of increased climate variability and the possibility of
greater frequencies of droughts and floods in many areas.
7. MULTIPLE BENEFITS
1. Improvement in the quality of ground water
2. Rise in the water levels in wells and bore wells that are drying up
3. Mitigation of the effects of drought.
4. Attainment of drought proofing
5. An ideal solution to water problems in areas having
6. inadequate water resources
7. Reduction in the soil erosion as the surface runoff is reduced
8. Decrease in the choking of storm water drains and flooding of roads
9. Saving of energy, to lift ground water. (One-meter rise in
water level saves 0.40-kilowatt hour of electricity)
8. Techniques of Water Recharge
STORAGE OF RAINWATER ON SURFACE FOR FUTURE
USE
RECHARGE TO GROUND WATER
9. Overview of IRAN
Iran, also known as Persia is a democratic country in Western Asia. It is bordered on the north
by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan ;with Kazakhstan and Russia across the Caspian
Sea; on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; on the south by the Persian Gulf and
the Gulf of Oman; on the west by Iraq; and on the northwest by Turkey.
With a land area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi), this country in the
Middle East is the 18th-largest country in the world, and with over
77 million people, is the world's 17th-most populous nation. Iran is home to
one of the world's oldest civilizations.
10. WATER RESOURCES OF IRAN
Arid and semi-arid regions occupy more than 80 percent of Iranās land. The average annual precipitation
is estimated to be 250 mm and the range varies from 50 mm in some parts of the central water basin to more
than 1600 mm in some coastal areas near the Caspian Sea. Meanwhile with respect to the average annual
precipitation in the world with average rainfall of more than 830 mm, Iran is classified among the semi-arid and
arid countries.
High density, short duration rainfall often generates destructive floods. At present in many
parts of the country, the water levels have been falling rapidly. The demand for drinking water is also
has been increasing manifold in the last three decades due to rapid increase in the population.
THUS, Meeting the water demand is a major challenge in Iran.
12. Water Resource Potential of Iran
According to studies carried out for formulation of the Iran Water Comprehensive Plan, the
main characteristics of annual precipitation and its conversion to water resources are
shown

14. FRESHWATER CONSUMPTION
At present Iran is using 70% of the
t
total renewable freshwater while
u
due to the international norms the
u
upper limit should be 40% of
renewable freshwater; it means that the remain unexploited renewable fresh water
is only 30 % total fresh water resources including environmental basic needs.

16. Iranian Solution to Water Crisis
Iranians have a long and notable history of water resources
development relying on traditional techniques. The exploitation of floods
and rainwater harvesting have been practiced through flood spreading
and groundwater recharge systems using BandSars, recharge ponds
and Ab- Anbars by ancient Iranians
17. Major Accomplishments
1. Construction of a 50 Km water transfer tunnel (Aqueduct) from the Karkheh River
to Chogha-Zanbil south west of Iran more than 3000 years ago;
2. Hydraulic structures - Chogha-Zanbil temple, 3000 years ago;
3. Invention and development of 80000 Qanats for groundwater extraction and
utilizationover the last 3000 years;
4. Dam construction over the last 2000 years;
5. Mizan dam in Shooshtar and bridge-dam of Shooshtar, 500 meters long with 40
bays;
6. Bahram dam on Gharah-Aghage, south of the city of Shiraz, 2000 years ago;
7. Sheikh-Bahaii water allocation scheme, 400 years ago.
8. In recent years, dams with a total capacity of around 20000 MCM have been built
18. HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES& DAMS
ā¢ One of the items in Iran's water resources development plan is the control and
regulation of water resources through dams. In accordance to the ICOLD
identification of large dams, the country has over 220 large dams in operation
and also more than 85 dams under construction which totally control over
46.4 billion cubic meters of country's water resources.

area suffers from arid and semi-arid
climatic condition with average annual
precipitation of about 200 mm and
mean annual potential evapotranspiration
rate of greater than 1000 mm.
21. BANDSARS
Bandar is composed of a small stream that conducts water from Ephemeral River
toBandsarās inner part. This decreases water speed and supplies soil moisture. In the
method, natural location of floodwater spreading is formed on alluvial fans. Bandsar is allot
or pond formed by embankment construction in direction of water flow. So flood is taken,
water is retained until infiltrated.Bandar has a very simple construction. It is made of the
following parts:
ā¢
ā¢
A shallow water drainage (ephemeral stream called Kale)
ā¢
ā¢
Some parallel subsidiary walls for balancing water spreading called Mewband
A check-dam made of river sediment called Tarkehband Embankment (the main wall of
the dam)
A waterway for overflow of water called Goushband
Bandsars covers different areas e.g. 1000 square meters in valleys to 30 ha in low
slope
