A software package for regulation of multisystem multipurpose reservoirs has recently been developed in the School. The package is flexible and accommodates hydrological data (e.g., reservoir in-flow, evaporation losses, diversion, power generation etc.) for any period of simulation --e.g., daily, 10-day or monthly basis. From this point of view, it is better than any other available package to suit Indian conditions. |

Development of alternative sources of drinking water in the arsenic-affected areas of West Bengal: As there are several major hindrances to the installation and smooth running of large projects in this area, the School has attempted to develop some small, economical treatment units, easy to install and operate, for the supply of safe drinking water in the villages at micro-level. The running and maintenance of these units can easily be undertaken by the villagers themselves. Water from reasonably clean local ponds can be made free from harmful bacteria and other contaminants by the horizontal roughening process followed by flow through a bed of activated charcoal. |
