A networked public supply is provided those without a domestic tap via communal kiosks managed by community-based Water User Associations (WUAs) under government mandate. There has been considerable debate surrounding tariff charged for supplied such vulnerable...

For visualization of multivariable data, multivariate cube meets with the limitation of screen and human vision. Retinal variables are integrated into multivariate cube to enhance its visual characteristics. The selective feature of variables and associative feature of the values of the same variable are improved with the integration of retinal variable into the set of visual variables. The sel...

Groundwater based irrigation, which was started in India as early “Indus Civilizations” got impetus during 3rd five-year plan. In India, at present 78 m ha of irrigation potential is created and 80 percent utilized. One the World’s highest user groundwater with 63 its dynamic resources.

The GM-MDS conjecture of Dau et al. (ISIT 2014) speculates that the MDS condition, which guarantees the existence of MDS matrices with a prescribed set of zeros over large fields, is in fact sufficient for existence of such matrices over small fields. We prove this conjecture.

BACKGROUND Private water systems are more likely to have nitrate levels above the maximum contaminant level (MCL). Pregnant women are considered vulnerable to the effects of exposure to high levels of nitrates in drinking water due to their altered physiological states. The level of methemoglobin in the blood is the biomarker often used in research for assessing exposure to nitrates. The object...

An Interactive Multiple Goal Linear Programming (IMGLP) model is developed that considers objectives of multiple stakeholders, i.e. different farmer groups, district agricultural officers and agricultural scientists for agricultural land use analysis. The analysis focuses on crop selection; considering irrigated and non-irrigated crops such as rice, sugarcane, sorghum, cotton, millet, pulses an...
