: This investigational study involves analysis of settlement characteristics of HYPAR shell footings with variation in the edge beam sizes using a finite element code – PLAXIS. HYPAR shell footings have been known to bring about economy in regions with high material to cost ratio when compared to flat slab footings. This study strengthens the case of HYPAR footings by confirming its superiority in the aspect of lower settlement characteristics. The effects of changing the embedment ratio on the aspect of settlement, load bearing and soil-shell interphase stresses have also been studied.

: A two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) is a device for heat transmission. The TPCT is composed of three major parts: Lower evaporator, the adiabatic region in the central range and the condenser at the top. Fluids with nanoparticles (particles smaller than 100 nm) suspended in them are called nanofluids that they have a great potential in heat transfer enhancement. In the present study, Nanofluids of aqueous Graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles suspensions are prepared in various volume concentration of 0.05–0.20% and used in a TPCT as working media. Experimental results showed that for different input powers, the heat transfer coefficient of the TPCT increases up to 33.04% when GO/water nanofluid is used instead of pure water. A decrease of 24.83% is achived in thermal resistance at 0.20 vol.% for GO/water nanofluid.

: Hydrogeological studies in drought-prone Kuchinda and Bamra blocks of Kuchinda Subdivision in northern part of Sambalpur district has indicated predominance of consolidated formations lacking primary porosity. Groundwater occurs both under unconfined and semiconfined conditions in the weathered and fractured zones. Although, there is underdevelopment of groundwater resources in the subdivision as a whole, localized scarcity is found in many places as evidenced from dry wells in summer and increase in the depth of water table over the years. Resistivity survey in 26 locations of the area has indicated 3 to 5 layer cases in the disposition of subsurface rocks. The second and third layers are suitable for groundwater storage and movement and hence can be developed for groundwater. The potential fracture zones are restricted to a depth of 27 to 174.5 m below the ground level.

: Watershed as an entry point acts as a beginning to address the issues of sustainable rainwater management for improving livelihoods. To deal with water management issues, one must analyse and quantify the different elements of hydrologic processes taking place within the area of interest. For this, in present study, SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model is selected to model hydrological processes and compute runoff and sediment yield from the Kaneri watershed. Application of the SWAT model showed a relationship between watershed characteristics and their effects on runoff and sediment yield The distributed nature of the model output helped in identifying the sub basins and even HRUs within the watershed that were more prone to soil erosion and, hence, need to be given priority while implementing soil conservation measures. Its application proved that the model is a very flexible and robust tool that can be used to simulate a variety of watershed problems.
流域作为切入点，是解决可持续雨水管理问题以改善生计的开端。为了处理水管理问题，必须分析和量化在有关领域内发生的水文过程的不同要素。为此，本研究选择SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool)模型来模拟水文过程，并计算Kaneri流域的径流和产沙量。SWAT模型的应用显示了流域特征及其对产流产沙的影响之间的关系，模型输出的分布特性有助于识别流域内更容易发生土壤侵蚀的子流域甚至hru，因此在实施土壤保持措施时需要优先考虑。应用表明，该模型是一种非常灵活、鲁棒的工具，可用于模拟各种流域问题。

: This study is focused on the assessment of water quality of river Satluj in North Indian state of Punjab and evaluation of 34 physico-chemical variables monitored during the period 2015–2016, at 3 different sampling locations. Multivariate analytical techniques, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA)/ Factor Analysis (FA) were applied to the water quality data set to identify characteristics of water quality in the studied catchment. PCA/FA was applied for source identification to data sets pertaining to 3 spatial groups (upper catchment, middle catchment and lower catchment) responsible for the data structure. These factors are conditionally named soil structure and soil erosion; domestic, municipal and industrial effluents; agricultural activities (fertilizers, livestock waste etc.) and seasonal effect factors.In the current study usefulness of multivariate analysis for evaluation of river Satluj water quality assessment and identification of dominant factors and pollution sources for effective water quality management and determination of spatial and temporal variations in water quality illustrated.
