Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Analysis for Pune and Vadgaon Maval Regions Using L-Moments of LN2, EV1, GEV and Pareto Distributions
Abstract: Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) of rainfall is considered as one of the important tools for planning and designing of various water resource projects. This can be achieved through IDF analysis by developing of IDF curve, which gives a plot of rainfall intensity versus rainfall duration and frequency (i.e., return period). This paper presents a study on rainfall IDF analysis using L-Moments of 2-parameter Log Normal, Extreme Value Type-1 (EV1), Generalized Extreme Value …

Treatment of Dairy Wastewater Using Constructed Wetland
Abstract: Naturally existing wetlands have been used for dumping various types of wastewaters and have been promised to dispose of these wastewaters. As a matter of fact, in some areas, natural wetlands still serve this purpose solely and are nothing more than dumping sites. However, extensive research suggested the use of Wetlands for Treatment purposes. Understanding the dynamics of the processes in natural wetlands leads to the use of those processes …
