Environmental flow requirements, to maintain the functioning of freshwater-dependent ecosystems and restore rivers in ecologically acceptable conditions, depend upon the present water quality status of the river. Various stretches of Vishwamitri River vary in quality and quantity. Water quality index is a tool to converse information regarding water quality of various stretches of river and can...

Abstract Postprocessing of the ensemble precipitation data improves bias and uncertainty induced in numerical weather prediction (NWP) due to perturbations initial condition atmospheric models. The evaluation NWP short-range quantitative forecasts provided by NCMRWF archived TIGGE, for Vishwamitri River Basin. aim study is perform univariate statistical postprocessing using six parametric metho...

or as the ends of a boiv are drawn together." They have a legend that it visits the country every thirty years.

In Australia, Ross River virus (RRV) is predominantly identified and managed through passive health surveillance. Here, the proactive use of environmental datasets to improve community-scale public health interventions in southeastern Tasmania is explored. Known environmental drivers (temperature, rainfall, tide) of the RRV vector Aedes camptorhynchus are analysed against cumulative case record...

I. INTRODUCTION We humans tend to worry first about our own happiness, then about our families, then about our communities. In times of great stress, such as war or natural disaster, we may focus temporarily on our country but we rarely think about Earth as a whole or the human species as a whole.
