This document discusses various methods for estimating runoff from rainfall. It begins by defining components of stream flow such as overland flow, interflow, and baseflow. It then discusses catchment characteristics and methods for classifying streams. Various factors that affect runoff are identified, including drainage area, soil type, land use, and antecedent moisture conditions. Two primary methods for estimating runoff are presented: the Rational Method and the SCS Curve Number Method. Worked examples are provided to demonstrate how to apply both methods to calculate peak runoff rates from given rainfall and catchment property data.

Abstract. This talk is about the GEOtop and JGrass-NewAge model, their physical bases, their informatics based on older (the first) and new (the latter) programming paradigms, the lessons I learned in building them with my group of people in an academic environment, their future, and the understanding that there is no the best model, but certainly a better way to do models.
Hydrological modelling was for long time, and still is, almost a synonym of simulating rainfall-runoff. Recently, however, the scope of hydrology became wider, even among engineers. Modelling in hydrology now certainly still means modelling discharges, but also modelling snow, evapotranspiration and turbulent exchanges, and surface/subsurface interactions. With the goal of reproducing the whole picture of the terrestrial hydrological fluxes, my coworkers and I worked together in the last decade to build new models and new types of models. We started from the lesson by P. Eagleson, and we built first the process-based (grid based) GEOtop model. GEOtop is “terrain-based” (it is based on the use of digital terrain models and uses the knowledge of interaction between morphology and process) “distributed” (all the simulated variables are calculated for each pixel of the basin) model of “the water cycle” (it simulates all the components of the water cycle, accounting for both the mass budget and the energy budget, the two budget equations being coupled through the temperature of the soil, which controls evaporation, hydraulic conductivity, and accumulation of the snowpack). However, this GEOtop was intimidating many, either for the complexity of the process and its internals, and possibly not adapted to large scale modelling where faster solutions are required.
Therefore we also worked on a different, more parsimonious model, called JGrass-NewAGE. From the lesson learned by implementing and maintaining GEOtop, we also found necessary to build the new model on new informatics. This system sacrifices process details in favour of efficient calculations. It is made of components apt at returning statistical hydrological quantities, opportunely averaged in time and space. One of the goals of this implementation effort was to create the basis for a physico-statistical hydrology in which the hydrological spatially distributed dynamics are reduced into low dimensional components, when necessary surrogating the internal heterogeneities with "suitable noise" and a probabilistic description. Unlike other efforts of synthesis, JGrass-NewAge keeps the spatial description explicit, at various degrees of simplicity. This has been made possible by opportune processing of distributed information which, in this way, has become part of the model itself.
Evapotranspiration partitioning components in an irrigated winter wheat field...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— The arid and semi-arid regions constitute roughly one third of the total earth’s surface. In these regions water scarcity is one of the main limiting factors for economic growth. The impact of such water scarcity is amplified by inefficient irrigation practices, especially since about 85% of available water is used for irrigation in these regions. Therefore, a sound and efficient irrigation practice is an important step for achieving sustainable management of water resources in these regions. In this regard, a better understanding of the water balance is essential to explore water-saving techniques. In the context CRP project, experimental setups were conceived to monitor seasonal water consumption on the wheat crop irrigated by flood irrigation in Sidi Rahal station (middle of morocco. The partitioning of evapotranspiration compounds shows that transpiration dominates the evaporation about 68 % for three days (22, 23 and 24 February 2012). In addition the wheat absorbs the soil water from 10 cm to 20 cm (90%) at this growing stage according to the multiple-source mass balance assessment.
Dewatering is a term to describe the removal of groundwater or surface water from for example a construction site. In construction the water is pumped from wells or sumps to temporarily lower the groundwater levels, to allow excavation in dry and stable conditions below natural groundwater level.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

20. Streams may be classified as:
1.Influent Streams & Effluent Streams
2.Intermittent Streams & Perennial Streams
20
21. Influent Streams
If the GWT is below
the bed of the stream
feeds the groundwater
resulting in the build
up of water mound.
21
22. Effluent Streams
When the GWT is
above the WS
elevation in the stream,
the groundwater feeds
the stream.
22
23. Intermittent Streams
If the GWT lies above
the bed of the stream
during the wet season
but drops below the bed
during the dry season,
the stream flows during
wet season but becomes
dry during dry season.
23
Perennial Streams
Even in the most severe
droughts, the GWT
never drops below the
bed of the streams &
therefore they flow
throughout the year.
