Short Review on Indoor Farming a Future of the Country
Abstract: We are currently confronted with unstoppable tendencies in population growth, water scarcity, urbanization, and ongoing and persistent climatic change. All of these factors lead to dwindling arable land stocks per person. Land resources for agriculture are dwindling, and officials in the country are grappling with issues of sustainability and feeding the country's fast rising population. Exemplified urban vertical farming is the ideal approach for increasing food production in the future. …

Self-Curing of Concrete Incorporated with Polyethylene Glycol
Abstract: Concrete is a combined mixture of cement, aggregates and water with or without suitable admixtures. Curing is the process of sustaining the proper moisture content to stimulate optimum cement hydration immediately after placement and to achieve desirable strength and other properties. In conventional curing of concrete, this is achieved by external supply of water after mixing, placing and finishing of concrete. In practice, the conventional type of curing is very …

Artificial Neural Network Model to Predict Reservoir Storage
Abstract: The rapid growth in population increases water demand thus resulting in scarcity of water which is due to improper management rather than lack of resources. Reservoir is the most important source for surface water. So, reservoir storage plays a crucial role in efficient reservoir management. Artificial neural network (ANN) is capable of simulating reservoir storage capacity. So, in present work cascade forward back propagation and feed forward back propagation network …

Design and Fabrication of Trammel Balls
Abstract: Transportation of water plays a vital role in the survival of a growing population. If the scarcity of water is one major issue, transportation of water using tankers have their own share. Water in a partially filled container, when induced with external energy (motion), generates slosh and surge. Both slosh and surge effects work as a resistive factor during transportation. To eliminate the same, few holes are drilled at pre-desired …

Advancing Circular Economy in the Water Sector: A Comprehensive Review and Assessment
Abstract: ABSTRACT The unprecedented pace of urbanization and the rapid depletion of natural resources have prompted policymakers and industry leaders to transition from the traditional linear “take-make-use-dispose” model to a more sustainable and regenerative approach known as the Circular Economy (CE). The CE model emphasizes resource conservation through strategies that prioritize reducing, reusing, recycling, and recovering resources, aiming to minimize waste and extend the lifecycle of materials within economic systems. This …

Case study of Traditional Step Well at Gwalior, India
Abstract: Today when everyone has issue with scarcity of drinking water and we are digging more and more to get water from the ground and now that is because the demand and supply gets increases so we need to know the value of the traditional water system and we should realized it today that our ancestor was visionary and though the water was always been carrying a sacred value for them, …

MODELING COGENERATION SYSTEM IN SHALLOW GEOTHERMAL INSTALLATIONS
Abstract: ABSTRACTThis paper presents a theoretical modeling of a cogeneration system using multiple heat exchangers and thermoelectric generator. The modeled system, designed for shallow geothermal energy, is a closed piping unit containing water as heat transfer fluid that circulates through a closed loop releasing thermal energy at the surface for heating and sanitary hot water. In addition, a Peltier cells array is attached to the piping system to generate electricity, thus …

Fabrication of Solar Agro-vehicle with AI Technology
Abstract: Agriculture being one of the major occupations in India. Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indianeconomy. Indian agriculture has registered impressive growth over the last few decades. It is veryessential to discover and implement new ideas in this field, though a lot of work has been done in thisarea. It is unfortunate that these ideas are not being implemented properly in the actual field. This isdue to high cost …

Synthesis of Low Cost Artificial Sand From Fly ash and its Application as a Filter Material
Abstract: The usage of natural river sand is increasing vastly. Geopolymers are materials with three-dimensional alumina silicate structures that have a high mechanical strength and can be used as an alternative to Portland cement. The probability of using Natural river sand can also be replaced with geopolymer synthetic sand. There are many properties which may lead the scarcity of natural riversand they are Because of landslides, tsunamis and erosion. The GPSS …
