Water scarcity and the increasing global demand for water in many sectors, including agriculture, has became a global concern. The rapid growing world population and the adverse impacts of climate change led to growing competition for water use by industrial and urban users for agriculture to secure enough food. Irrigated agriculture is an important role in total agriculture and provides humanity with a wide range of agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, grains and cereals. Effective management for water use is the only way to save water for the increasing irrigated agriculture.

Effective irrigation scheduling moves beyond simply calculating how many hours to run an irrigation system per week to meet the water demand, and looks at the agronomic issues root zone development, and the movement of water and salts through the soil profile. Participants will learn how to "park" plant nutrients in the root zone, increasing fertilizer efficiency while minimizing nitrate loss through deep leaching.

Io t based water level monitoring system of dams insangamesh kumbar
IoT-BASED WATER LEVEL MONITORING SYSTEM OF DAMS IN KARNATAKA,This project proposes a wireless solution, based on Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network for the monitoring and controlling of the dams water level parameter.
The equipment uses an ultrasonic sensor device to accurately measure and determine the waters in real time.
The standalone Water Level Monitoring System is equipped with solar panel and makes use of an ultrasonic sensor to measure the rate of change of water level using the principle similar to radar and sonar.
The sensor calculates the time interval between sending the signal and receiving the echo to determine the water level.
The information collected is then transmitted to a central server at a predefined interval, via SMS.
Smart irrigation systems have become increasingly popular in urban areas, where the need to conserve water resources is critical. These systems are designed to optimize water usage for landscaping and gardening, while also promoting sustainable and efficient irrigation practices.
Reducing rural poverty and improving household nutrition are common goals across all developing countries in the
Asia and Pacific region. To this end, the region has experienced a recent resurgence in large investments in irrigation
infrastructure. This surge in funding flows has created pressure from donors and central financing agencies, both of
which are increasingly demanding more robust justification for the investments. To date, providing this justification for
irrigation investments has been challenging due to a lack of reliable longitudinal data that measure the performance of
irrigated agriculture and associated water delivery services. Consequently, there is very little information on the real
returns on investments already made. Historic data has tended to be project based, point-in-time data constrained to a
defined area of infrastructure investment, not on-going and geographically broad-based.
Irrigation benchmarking is a process of comparative analysis of irrigation performance that enables scheme managers
to understand the performance of their irrigation services (International Water Management Institute, 2019). To better
understand the process of monitoring irrigation performance, this brief will use Cambodia as an illustrative example.
Irrigated rice production in Cambodia has significant potential, yet performance of the sector lags behind surrounding
countries, such as Viet Nam’s delta region (Mainuddin and Kirby, 2009). In addition, there are limited available and
published data in Cambodia, making it difficult to analyse the current and changing state of irrigation in the country,
the productivity levels, or irrigation’s contribution to poverty alleviation and economic growth (Tucker et al., 2020). For
these reasons, Cambodia was selected as a country to pilot the transfer of key learnings from the Australian experience
of irrigation performance benchmarking, and to develop a benchmarking methodology as a first step to undertake
ongoing performance assessment of irrigation schemes for strategic investments in increasing water productivity.
Group Project to Design Water Infrastructure for a Theoretical Small Town.Jonathan Damora
This work was done alongside Alex Waite, Gahanna Zagdabar Jenny Yu, and Jay Jimenez. We designed every pipe to be put in throughout the town, while meeting fire test regulations and minimum allowable pressures. The sanitary sewer design is what I worked the most on in order to meet the design conditions, while still maintaining feasible construction costs. My main factor for optimization was volume of soil to be excavated, in order to provide the cheapest and safest option.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
