The increasing (downstream of Hirakud dam) has been analyzed. The study deterioration of water quality of the watershed is mainly was conducted to assess and ascertain the physico-chemical attributed to the uncontrolled and improper disposal of properties of Mahanadi river water from sixteen different solid and toxic waste from industrial effluents, agricultural water quality monitoring stations of State Pollution Control Board. The analysis was carried out by taking certain runoff and other human activities. This alarming water important water quality determining parameters like pH, pollution not only causing degradation of water quality but Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), also threatens human health and balance of aquatic Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Chloride, Total Dissolved ecosystem, and economic development of the state. Oxygen (TDS), Nitrate, Sulphates, Total Hardness (TH), In the present study, data matrix obtained during 14 years Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Fluoride. Analyzed monitoring program (2000 to 2014) is subjected to different parameters like pH, DO, TH, Chloride, Sulphate and TDS multivariate statistical approach to extract information were found within permissible limit prescribed by IS 10500 about the similarities or dissimilarities between sampling except Nitrate and Fluoride content which exceeds at some sites, and the influences of possible sources on water sites.

  • UAS – Low Hanging Fruit India Still to Pluck
    01/21 UAS – Low Hanging Fruit India Still to Pluck Air Marshal Anil Chopra PVSM AVSM VM VSM (Retd) Director General, CAPS 22 April 2021 Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) began making unmanned aerial system (UAS) with the Fluffy target drone in 1970s, which was replaced by the reusable, subsonic, pilotless target aircraft Lakshya that first flew in 1985. Around 30 were produced and operated by all the services. The advanced version Lakshya-II was flight-tested in January 2012. In March 2017, Air Force version of Lakshya-II was flight tested. The Army-centric Nishant is a multi-mission UAS with day/night capability for battlefield surveillance and targeting, and was first flown in August 1996. DRDO claimed it equivalent of IAI’s Searcher. Finally only four were built. A wheeled version of the Nishant UAS, named “Panchi” is known to be under development. There are a large number of DRDO UAS projects since 1985, but what really counts is, what gets inducted into the Armed Forces. That number after nearly 45 years should have been much higher. DRDO’s Rustom Series Rustom-1 was evolved from Burt Rutan’s Long-EZ with 250 km range, for visual and radar surveillance. It was to be a tactical UAV with endurance of 12 hours, and made its first flight in November 2009. Rustom-H, is a larger UAV was with flight endurance of over 24 hours. TAPAS-BH- 201 (Rustom-2) Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV has been derived from the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) LCRA (Light Canard Research Aircraft), and is meant to supplement the Heron UAVs in service.
