L. Tiwari, R. V. Galkate Because of its non-linear and multi-dimensional nature, Abstract— Rainfall-Runoff simulation of any basin plays an rainfall-runoff modeling is extremely complicated [2] important role for any civil engineering project and proper (Lipiwattanakarn et al., 2004). Many hydrologic models are planning and management of the water resources. Runoff available; varying in nature, complexity and purpose [3] estimation in catchment is a serious challenge for the hydrologist (Shoemaker et al., 1997). The widely known rainfall-runoff where most of the watersheds are ungauged. Various models identified are the rational method, Soil Conservation approaches for runoff estimation are available ranging from Services (SCS) Curve Number method, and Green-Ampt lumped to physically based distributed models. This paper method [4] (Galkate et al., 2011). describes the use of RRL AWBM (Rainfall Runoff Library The AWBM stands for Australian Water Balance Model is a Australian Water Balance Method Model), to investigate its part of Rainfall-runoff library (RRL) developed by performance, efficiency and suitability in Shipra river basin in Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology Madhya Pradesh, India. The AWBM is a catchment water (CRCCH), Australia [5]. It is a computer based conceptual balance model capable of simulating runoff using daily or hourly rainfall runoff model. Number of studies has been conducted rainfall data. AWBM model was developed using daily weighted using RRL AWBM model.

  • Drinking Water Quality of Ujjain District
    Received: 02nd Dec-2012 Revised: 26th Dec-2012 Accepted: 28th Dec -2012 Research article DRINKING WATER QUALITY OF UJJAIN DISTRICT Dr. Parag Dalal Lecturer, Ujjain Engineering College, Ujjain Mail –[email protected] ABSTRACT: To avail the Safe Maintaining of natural water resources is one of the prime importance and responsibility of any human being. This study was taken to access the quality of water of Ujjain district which different people are using for the drinking and cooking purposes. A questionnaire is prepared on the basis of necessary requirement of information so the main potential sources can be pointed out with their causes of health problem caused due to water born diseases. The main objectives are decided to assess the quality of water and detect the causes of pollution. The first site of sample collection is from Mahidpur about 60 Kms North from Ujjain City. Presently only one filter plant was able to supply the water in localities so the samples were to be collected from Mahidpur area. The different sources of water supply and their purification procedure were also been observed and found that most of them using conventional primary and secondary treatment of waste water. Finally it is observed that there is requirement of an additional advance treatment at the sampling stations. Some are using only primary treatment like addition of alum and bleaching powder even they did not know the quality of water which they are using for the drinking purpose. The water is sampled for physical, chemical and biological parameter analysis. Some sample sources are in rainy, winter and summer season analyzed them properly with the help of the given methods in APHA.

K. Pyasi1, R.V. Galkate2 and Vinay Kumar Gautam3 1Department of Soil and Water Engineering, J.N.K.V.V, Jabalpur, India 2National Institute of Hydrology, WALMI Campus, Bhopal, India 3Department of Technology and Engineering, MPUAT, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India *Corresponding author ABSTRACT A model is a small scale representation of a real world system, and consists of a set of simultaneous sets of equations or a logical sequence of operations contained within a computer program. Models have parameters which are numerical representation of a property or characteristics that are constant under specified conditions and variable in K e yw or ds other sets of conditions. Runoff is one of the most prominent hydrological variables RRLAWBM used in most of the water resources applications. Sound information on quantity and Model, Coefficient rate of runoff from land surface into streams and rivers is vital for integrated water of determination , resource management. This set of information is needed in dealing with watershed Coefficient of development and management problems. A rainfall- runoff model is a mathematical correlation , Efficiency index, model describing the rainfall - runoff relations of a catchment area, drainage basin or Root mean square watershed. Keeping this in view, a comprehensive study on estimation of rainfall and error, Nash Sutcliffe efficiency runoff estimation generated from rainfall was performed in Shipra river basin and its four subbasins (Ujjain, Indore, Dewas, Sanwer) using RRL AWBM Model and its suitability was determined based on criterion that is Coefficient of Determination, Coefficient of correlation, Efficiency Index and Root Mean Square of Error.
