The document discusses the interdependence between water and power in India. It notes that water is needed for power generation through hydropower and thermal power, while power is needed to transport, pump, and treat water. Both water and power scarcity are growing issues in India due to increasing demand. Addressing the water-power nexus presents an opportunity to jointly address these challenges. Key areas that demonstrate this nexus include irrigation, where groundwater pumping relies on subsidized power, and hydropower generation, which relies on adequate water supplies. The document calls for more research and awareness to better understand and manage this nexus.

Requirements of human are increasing tremendously with massive change along with the evolution of human and its development. This creates stress on the natural resources; such as water, lands, forest, etc. Freshwater demand is highly increased with the growing population and the change in lifestyle of people. Hence, the concept of interbasin water transfer was developed to minimize water scarcity and to distribute water as per requirements. However, this has brought lots of negative consequences that became a challenge to preserve the earth systems. The National River Linking Plan (NRLP) is developed by the Government of India to resolve water scarcity and that plan became controversial especially on the transboundary water right issues. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to highlight all the major and minor consequences that might happen due to the NRLP project with the perspective of making sustainable environmental development. The study revealed that for the sustainable development; every issue related to nature, socio-cultural and transboundary water right must be addressed and water should be distributed in such a manner that it solves the issues of spatial and temporal water availability.

UX, ethnography and possibilities: for Libraries, Museums and ArchivesNed Potter
These slides are adapted from a talk I gave at the Welsh Government's Marketing Awards for the LAM sector, in 2017.
It offers a primer on UX - User Experience - and how ethnography and design might be used in the library, archive and museum worlds to better understand our users. All good marketing starts with audience insight.
The presentation covers the following:
1) An introduction to UX
2) Ethnography, with definitions and examples of 7 ethnographic techniques
3) User-centred design and Design Thinking
4) Examples of UX-led changes made at institutions in the UK and Scandinavia
5) Next Steps - if you'd like to try out UX at your own organisation
The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

"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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

2. INTRODUCTION
Interdependence between water and power.
The relationship can be mutually constraining.
It presents an opportunity to address both power
and water issues together, because conserving one
leads to conservation of the other.
The way we manage the delicate relationship
between the two will have major implications on the
future of our water and power crises.

12. CONSTITUTIONAL STATUS OF WATER
Under the Indian Constitution, water comes under
the State List (Item 17 in List II of the Seventh
Schedule or the State List).
There has been an increasing debate about
studying water in a holistic manner with a national
perspective in mind.
Water is being handled by many Ministries in the
Centre.
13. INTER STATE WATER DISPUTES
Interstate water disputes in India often prolong over
long periods and tend to recur.
These long delays are partly due to elaborate judicial
proceedings and deliberations. But more
importantly, the adjudication proceedings are often
circumvented and impeded by variety of political
interests.

15. Planning, development and management of water resources need to
be governed by national perspectives.
Water resources development and management will have to be
planned for a hydrological unit.
Appropriate river basin organisations should be established for
the planned development and management of the river basins.
Water should be made available to water short areas by transfer from
other areas including transfer from one river basin to another, after
taking into account the requirements of the areas/basins.
Planning of water resources development projects should, as far as
possible, be for multi- purpose with an integrated and multi-disciplinary
approach having regard to human and ecological aspects including
those of disadvantaged sections of the society.
National Water Policy 2012
16. There is need to ensure that the water charges for various uses
should be fixed such as to cover at least the operation and
maintenance charges initially and a part of the capital costs
subsequently.
Management of the water resources for diverse uses should
incorporate a participatory approach by involving users and other
stakeholders alongwith various governmental agencies.
Both surface water and ground water should be regularly monitored
for quality.
Effluents should be treated to acceptable levels and standards before
discharging them into natural streams.
Minimum flow should be ensured in the perennial streams
for maintaining ecology.
Efficiency of utilization should be improved in all the diverse uses of
water and conservation consciousness promoted through education,
regulation, incentives and disincentives.
National Water Policy 2012
18. POWER SCENARIO IN INDIA
Growth in production of
electricity has led to its
extensive use in all the
sectors of economy in the
successive five years plans.
Over the years the installed
capacity of Power Plants
(Utilities) has increased to
about 1,86,655 MW (by
December, 2011) from a
meagre 1713 MW in 1950.
Similarly, the electricity
generation increased from
about 5.1 Billion kwh to 789
Billion kwh in 2010-11.
19. GROWTH OF POWER SECTOR
Per capita consumption of
electricity in the country increased
from 15 kWh in 1950 to about 814
kWh in 2011.
About 90% of the villages have
been electrified.
However, the country continues to
have mismatch between demand
and supply.
Energy and peak shortages to the
tune of 8.5% and 10.3%
respectively during the year 2010-
11.
20. During the 11th Five Year Plan (2007—12), nearly
55,000 MW of new generation capacity was
created.
Yet, there continues to be a peak shortage of about
9 per cent.
Peak power shortage is shortfall in generation
capacity when electricity consumption is maximum.
GROWTH OF POWER SECTOR
21. WATER- POWER NEXUS
There exists an inter-twining relationship between water and
power.
Water is often regarded as an input for generating power in
case of thermal and hydro-electric power stations.
However, when it comes to usage, the situation is reversed,
particularly when it is used for extracting and distributing
water.
Urban and rural water supply systems need power to
distribute water through pipe networks and farmers need
power to run pump sets and irrigate their fields.
22. Given that agriculture is the
largest user of water (80% in
India), it is imperative that it is
one of the focus areas of
research in order to fully
unravel the water-energy
nexus.
WATER- POWER NEXUS:
IRRIGATION SECTOR
23. Gradual shift to ground water as dependable source of water even in
the areas covered under canal irrigation due to
In-adequate supply of canal water
Poor surface irrigation infrastructure
Today, ground water meets nearly 55% of irrigation requirements in
the country.
Over-exploitation of ground water compounded by subsidized power
for pumping in many states.
Excessive exploitation may lead to reduction in well yield, drying up
of shallow wells, deterioration of water quality, increased energy
required to lift water from greater depth and its consequent high cost.
WATER- POWER NEXUS:
EXCESSIVE DEPENDENCE ON GROUND WATER FOR IRRIGATION
24. Energy efficiency could help address the adverse
impact on small farmers due to increase in power tariff.
Innovative approaches are called for to better
understand the water-energy nexus particularly from the
farmer’s perspective.
Such research would help in scenario planning and take
into account drivers such as
demographics, consumption and production
patterns, technology, globalization and environmental
issues.
WATER- POWER NEXUS:
IRRIGATION SECTOR
25. Another area, where water and
energy are most visibly
connected is the hydroelectric
sector.
Further in-depth research and
analysis could help identify the
potential sites for hydroelectric
projects taking into consideration
resettlement and rehabilitation,
submergence, social and cultural
losses.
WATER- POWER NEXUS:
HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER SECTOR
26. Capacity building is required to bridge knowledge
gaps, particularly at the local level. Awareness
regarding the efficient use of energy and water is
also crucial.
School and college curricula need to include these
aspects which are a glaring gap that needs to be
filled by developing suitable courses for the youth
and training modules for teachers.
WAY FORWARD
27. WAY FORWARD
Some observers feel that in addition to the
knowledge gap and paucity of research, there is no
single source where information on water and
energy is readily available in India.
There are now several knowledge platforms on
water, energy and climate change but they view
these themes in isolation.
It may be possible for some of these knowledge
platforms to find common sub-sets and present it to
the public in a more coherent manner.
28. WATER : POWER NEXUS
BOTH CHALLENGES MUST BE ADDRESSED
TOGETHER
