  • Optimal Operation of Multi-Reservoir System Using Dynamic Programming and Neural
    Transactions on Information and Communications Technologies vol 16, © 1996 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3517 Optimal operation of Multi-reservoir System using Dynamic Programming and Neural Network H.Raman & V.Chandramouli Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India, 600036 email raman @ civil.iitm.ernet.in Abstract A combined approach of a Dynamic Programming algorithm and Artificial Neural Network model is used for multi reservoir operation. The Dynamic programming algorithm is used for deriving optimum results for a four reservoir system and from the results, neural network is trained using back propagation algorithm to derive general operating policy for multi-reservoir operation. The performance is analyzed using a simulation model for the considered case study. 1 Introduction In monsoon countries like India the availability of water with respect to time and space varies considerably. Rainfall, the major source of water in India, varies from 11000 mm at Cherrapunji in Assam State to 150 mm in the extreme west of Rajasthan State, due to orographic influence. Most of the reservoirs in India receive water during four monsoon months. Stored water is used for the rest of year. Hence efficient management of water becomes very essential. Optimization and simulation models for deriving rules for efficient water management are being applied increasingly in recent years. Transactions on Information and Communications Technologies vol 16, © 1996 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3517 1.1 Optimization and Simulation models With the vast variation in availability of water in time and space, and increasing demand, it is very essential to find a solution of the given problem which should be feasible and also optimum under the given circumstances.

  • Hydro Electric Power Dams in Kerala and Environmental Consequences from Socio-Economic Perspectives
    [VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 3 I JULY – SEPT 2018] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 Hydro Electric Power Dams in Kerala and Environmental Consequences from Socio-Economic Perspectives. Liji Samuel* & Dr. Prasad A. K.** *Research Scholar, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. **Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. Received: June 25, 2018 Accepted: August 11, 2018 ABSTRACT Energy has been a key instrument in the development scenario of mankind. Energy resources are obtained from environmental resources, and used in different economic sectors in carrying out various activities. Production of energy directly depletes the environmental resources, and indirectly pollutes the biosphere. In Kerala, electricity is mainly produced from hydelsources. Sometimeshydroelectric dams cause flash flood and landslides. This paper attempts to analyse the social and environmental consequences of hydroelectric dams in Kerala Keywords: dams, hydroelectricity, environment Introduction Electric power industry has grown, since its origin around hundred years ago, into one of the most important sectors of our economy. It provides infrastructure for economic life, and it is a basic and essential overhead capital for economic development. It would be impossible to plan production and marketing process in the industrial or agricultural sectors without the availability of reliable and flexible energy resources in the form of electricity. Indeed, electricity is a universally accepted yardstick to measure the level of economic development of a country. Higher the level of electricity consumption, higher would be the percapitaGDP. In Kerala, electricity production mainly depends upon hydel resources.One of the peculiar aspects of the State is the network of river system originating from the Western Ghats, although majority of them are short rapid ones with low discharges.

  • Seasonal Variation and Biodiversity of Phytoplankton in Parambikulam Reservoir, Western Ghats, Kerala

Sureshkumar 2 1 P.G Department of Botany, M E S Asmabi College, P.Vemballur, Kerala 2 PG Department and Research Centre of Aquaculture and Fishery Microbiology, M E S Ponnani College, Ponnani, 679 586, Kerala *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lakes, Rivers and Reservoirs are most important water resources with multiple human utilization and ecological relevance. Parambikulam Dam is an embankment dam on the Parambikulam River flowing through Western Ghats and located in the Palghat district of Kerala with a reservoir area of 21.22 km 2 and 69,165×1000 cu.mt. capacity. The present study focuses on the seasonal variation, hydrobiology and biodiversity of phytoplankton of the Parambikulam reservoir during 2009-11. A total of 89 taxa of phytoplankton were recorded during the study. They belong to five different classes, viz Chlorophyceae, Desmidiaceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae. Bacillariophyceae was the dominant group with 42 taxa followed by Desmidiaceae with 26 taxa. Members of Euglenophyceae were not recorded during monsoon seasons. The dominant genera were Pinnularia and Navicula from Bacillariophyceae and Closterium and Cosmarium from Desmidiaceae. Shannon diversity index and Margalef’s Species richness was found to be highest during post-monsoon season (H’=6.09; d=11.41) and lowest during monsoon seasons (H’=3.8; d=3.4), while average taxonomic distinctness was slightly higher in pre-monsoon ( ∆+=69.30) than post-monsoon ( ∆+=69.10) and lowest during monsoon (∆+=65.00).

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity in the world.[1][2] It is sometimes called the Great Escarpment of India.[3] The range runs north to south along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, and separates the plateau from a narrow coastal plain, called Konkan, along the Arabian Sea. A total of thirty nine properties including national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and reserve forests were designated as world heritage sites - twenty in Kerala, ten in Karnataka, five in Tamil Nadu and four in Maharashtra.[4][5] The range starts near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, south of the Tapti river, and runs approximately 1,600 km (990 mi) through the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu ending at Kanyakumari, at the southern tip of India.
