  • Estimation of Trophic Status Index of Lakes Using Feed Forward Neural Network Model with Two Learning Algorithms
    International Journal of Computer Engineering and Applications, Volume XII, Issue I, Jan. 18, www.ijcea.com ISSN 2321-3469 ESTIMATION OF TROPHIC STATUS INDEX OF LAKES USING FEED FORWARD NEURAL NETWORK MODEL WITH TWO LEARNING ALGORITHMS Tushar Anthwal1, Akanksha Chandola Anthwal2, M. P. Thapliyal3 1Deptartment of Computer Science,Bhagwant University, Ajmer,Rajasthan, India 2Uttarakhand State Council for Science & Technology, Dehradun, India 3Department of Computer Science, HNB Garhwal (Central) University ,Srinagar Garhwal, India ABSTRACT: The health of water bodies across the globe is of high concern as the pollution is accelerating rigorously. With the interventions of simple technology, some significant changes could be bought up. Lakes are dying because of high Trophic Index Status which shows the eutrophication level of water bodies. Taking this into account, feed forward back propagation neural network model is used to estimate the Trophic Status Index (TSI) of lakes which could compute the value of TSI with the given parameters; pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, Secchi disk transparency, chlorophyll and total phosphate. Two learning algorithms; Levenberg Marquardt (LM) and Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) Quasi Newton were used to train the network, which belongs to different classes. The results were analyzed using mean square error function and further checked for the deviation from actual data. Among both the training algorithm; LM demonstrated better performance with 0.0007 average mean square error for best validation

  • The Role of Policies of Lake Water Management in Bangalore, India Lavanya Vikram 1, Neelima Reddy 2 1,2 MSRIT, Bangalore, Karnataka
    The role of Policies of Lake Water Management in Bangalore, India Lavanya Vikram 1, Neelima Reddy 2 1,2 MSRIT, Bangalore, Karnataka Abstract: Water pollution is a serious problem in India as its surface water resource and a growing percentage of its groundwater reserves are contaminated by pollutants. The high incidence of severe contamination near urban areas indicates that the industrial and domestic sectors contributing to water pollution is much higher. Water as an environmental resource is regenerative in the sense, that it could absorb pollution loads up to certain levels without affecting its quality. In fact there could be a problem of water pollution only if the pollution loads exceed the natural regenerative capacity of a water resource. The control of water pollution is therefore to reduce the pollution loads from anthropogenic activities to the natural regenerative capacity of the resource. The benefits of preservation of water quality are manifold. Agricultural run-offs affect groundwater and surface water sources as they contain pesticide and fertilizer residues. Fertilizers have an indirect adverse impact on water resources. Indeed, by increasing the nutritional content of water courses, fertilizers allow organisms to proliferate. Storm water runoff from urban areas is a major source for contamination of water. It should be clearly understood that the role of policies to be compensated fully for the damages from any kind of pollution. Using available data and case studies, this paper aims to provide an overview of the extent, impacts, and control of water pollution in India, taking the case of lakes in Bangalore. Keywords: water pollution, environmental issues, lakes, land use, guidelines 1.

Pavanika, D. Praveen, R. Ushakiran, G. Vinod Kumar and Sheriff Vaseem Anjum Department of Architecture, BMSCE, Autonomous under VTU, Bangalore - 560 019, Karnataka, India; [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Bangalore, when founded by Kempegowda I, faced water scarcity, which was mitigated by the ruler by building reservoirs as tanks and lakes. With rapid urbanisation, the lakes have been encroached upon and have given way to build struc- tures catering to the citizen’s needs. According to study conducted by the Energy and Wetland Research Group, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, the 262 wetlands that existed in Bangalore in 1962 has declined by 58% by 2007. Similarly, when the city’s built up area shot up by 466% between 1973 and 2007, the number of lakes came down from 159 to 93. Lakes also sustained over the years due to the active linkages between them, which are now part of the hardscape of the city. With the increase in built environment, the city is losing out on softscapes that help rejuvenate the water table through percolation. The storm water drains established by the erstwhile rulers of Bangalore are turning grey. One of the lakes in Bangalore which is rapidly losing out on its ability to cater to the biodiversity and turning grey is Ulsoor Lake.

Each and every human activities supports directly/indirectly by natural factors. India is facing a problem of natural resource scarcity, especially of water in view of population growth and economic development. Due to growth of Population, advancement in agriculture, urbanization and industrialization has made surface water pollution a great problem and decreased the availability of drinking water. Many parts of the world face such a scarcity of water. Lakes are important feature of the Earth’s landscape which are not only the source of precious water, but provide valuable habitats to plants and animals, moderate hydrological cycles, influence microclimate, enhance the aesthetic beauty of the landscape and extend many recreational opportunities to humankind .For issues, perspectives on pollution, restoration and management of Bellandur Lake Falls under Bangalore Metropolitan city is very essential to know their status but so far, there was no systematic environmental study carried out. Hence now the following studies are essential namely Characteristics, Status, Effects (on surrounding Groundwater, Soil, Humans health, Vegetables, Animals etc.,), resolving the issues of degradation, preparation of conceptual design for restoration and management.

  • Bangalore Today
    1 2 3 In 1807 the cantonment began to emerge, and all troops from the surrounding areas were now stationed in Bangalore. Soon the Company desiring more power, removed the Wodeyar family from the administrative control of Mysore. The cantonment began to extend further west and new residential plans were laid out for the cantonment expansion. The cantonment necessitated recreational activities, so golf courses and racecourses were developed, which further extended the green belt that divided the cantonment and the Petta area. Churches were erected in different parts, which marked the early cantonment limits. The British reshaped Bangalore into an urban settlement, connected by air, rail, telegraph and telephone lines. When AFTER A SERIES of battles over nearly forty years, Bangalore was hit by the plague in 1898, a few notable Indians Bangalore finally came under the control of the East India entered the urban planning scenario and planned out new Company. The final defeat and death of Tipu Sultan in the residential layouts. fourth Anglo-Mysore war in 1799, allowed the company to enter Bangalore and expand further South.
