Due to the increasing amounts of surface runoff and land degradation in watersheds, mitigation efforts need to be taken by adopting water conservation technologies to reduce flooding and surface runoff. The purpose of this research is to study the impact of sedrainpond (SDP) and infiltration well technology procurement on surface water in order to mitigate flood disasters downstream. The method approach is carried out by measuring the field discharge, collecting rainfall data and analysing the data using ArcView GIS and Microsoft Excel. The measured discharge in the study was 1170.9 L/s. The study applies 1819 units of SDP technologies with a diameter of 1 m, a depth of 2.5 m and a total storage volume of 3573.11 m3, and 340 units of infiltration wells with a diameter of 1 m, a depth of 2 m and a total storage volume of 533.65 m3. For scenario 1, where the water contained in the well is drained in one day, the flood discharge can be reduced to 986 L/s, along with a flow rate decrease of 184.9 L/s (15.79%). While for scenario 2, where the water contained in the well is drained in two days, the flood discharge can be reduced to 1001.6 L/s with a flow rate decrease of 184.9 L/s (14.46%).

Upstream Gajahwong Sub-Watershed included in Yogyakarta Urban Agglomeration Region and regional development of tourism that utilizes the beauty of the slopes of Mount Merapi also the support accessibility (Solo-Magelang-Semarang road; this condition is assumed to be the cause of landuse changes, followed by vegetation land shrinkage. The shrinkage’s result is water catchment areas reduction that disrupts the Sub-Watershed hydrology function. One of indication is the increasing flood discharge that can be seen from the changes in surface runoff and peak flow rate. This research aims to assess the impact of landuse change on surface runoff and peak flow rate in Gajahwong Sub-Watershed using a quantitative method that consists of spatial and mathematic analysis with SCS and Rational Method. The results showed that the landuse changes impact on increasing surface runoff and peak flow rate. The surface runoff in year 2002 amounted to 3.073 mm with a peak flow rate of 98.02 m³/sec then increased to 3.901 mm with a peak flow rate of 101.65 m³/sec in year 2011. The landuse changes that occur tend to built landuse which was followed by vegetation shrinkage and impact on the increase in surface runoff and peak flow rate. Predictions in year 2031 also showed an increase in surface runoff and peak flow rate, if there is a tendency of landuse changes linearly as landuse changes in year 2002 – 2011. Alternative analytical efforts to handle surface runoff and peak flow rate showed that by combining the development of Green Open Space with water conservation technology (Biopori and Infiltration Wells) can reduce surface runoff and peak flow rate.

The potential of carbon nanorods (NRs) derived from garbage leachate was assessed in a fixed-bed and batch system replacing the present costly approaches to treat surface water polluted by 4-Nonylphenol. First, the waste leachate was coated on silica particles and then pyrolysis was performed at 300 to 800℃. The optimum temperature for the production of nano-adsorbent was determined by analyses such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for adsorbent morphological characterization, X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and Raman test. Next, Freundlich, Langmuir, and UT isotherm models were used to analyze the batch equilibrium data. The impact of inlet 4-NP concentration (0.5, 1, and 2 mgL-1), feed flow rate (5, 10, and 20 mLmin-1), bed height (5, 10, and 15 cm), and bottom-up flow on the breakthrough features of the sorption system with a fixed bed was examined. The adsorption data were fitted using the well-known column models (i.e., Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Adams-Bohart). For all circumstances, the best fitting was obtained for the attained results using Yoon-Nelson and Thomas models, but not the Adams-Bohart model. The experimental data confirmed that increasing the inlet concentration and bed depth resulted in an increase in the adsorption capacity and a decrease in flow rate. After applying a different regeneration process, the results showed the effectiveness of the novel engineered substance as a reusable adsorbent for water treatment.

Objectives: To evaluate urinary symptoms and quality of life in patient with BPH before and after TURP. To determine the impact of TURP on the urinary symptoms (IPSS) and peak urinary flow rate. Methods: This study is prospective study carried out between 2010 and 2011 in the department of Urology, National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology. Total 102 cases were selected purposively according to selection criteria. Each patient was observed and followed up at 8 weeks (1st visit), 16 weeks (2nd visit) 24 weeks (3rd visit) after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). IPSS score, QOL score also recorded and uroflowmetry was done to see the peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) of urine and voiding time. USG was done to see post voidal residual urine volume and DRE also done in selected cases. Data was complied and statistical analysis were done using computer based software, Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), using paired ‘t’ test. A P value <0.05 was taken as significance. Results: Before TURP, IPSS range 17-25 and mean 21.61+2.43, after TURP, range 0-7 and mean 4.27+1.71). Hence a significant improvement of IPSS was found from 2 months to 6 months follow up after TURP. The change was tested using “paired student ‘t’ test”. Before TURP Qmax range 7-12.2 and mean was 9.96+1.69, which became range 18-25 and mean was 22.61+2.28 after TURP and therefore change of mean Qmax was 12.64+2.69. The change was tested using “paired student ‘t’ test”. The change was found significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: Transurethral resection of prostate resolves obstructive symptoms, rapid improvement of urinary flow rate Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 16, No. 1, Jan 2013 p.11-15

Timber roof constructions are commonly ventilated through an air cavity beneath the roof sheathing in order to remove heat and moisture from the construction. The driving forces for this ventilation are wind pressure and thermal buoyancy. The wind driven ventilation has been studied extensively, while models for predicting buoyant flow are less developed. In the present study, a novel analytical model is presented to predict the air flow caused by thermal buoyancy in a ventilated roof construction. The model provides means to calculate the cavity Rayleigh number for the roof construction, which is then correlated with the air flow rate. The model predictions are compared to the results of an experimental and a numerical study examining the effect of different cavity designs and inclinations on the air flow rate in a ventilated roof subjected to varying heat loads. Over 80 different test set-ups, the analytical model was found to replicate both experimental and numerical results within an acceptable margin. The effect of an increased total roof height, air cavity height and solar heat load for a given construction is an increased air flow rate through the air cavity. On average, the analytical model predicts a 3% higher air flow rate than found in the numerical study, and a 20% lower air flow rate than found in the experimental study, for comparable test set-ups. The model provided can be used to predict the air flow rate in cavities of varying design, and to quantify the impact of suggested roof design changes. The result can be used as a basis for estimating the moisture safety of a roof construction.

The potential impact of controlled drainage (CD), which limits drainage outflow, and subirrigation (SI), which provides supplemental water through drain tile, on surface water quality are not well known in the Red River Valley (RRV). In this study, water samples were collected and analyzed for chemical concentrations from a tile-drained field that also has controlled drainage and subirrigation modes in the RRV of southeastern North Dakota from 2012–2018. A decreasing trend in overall nutrient load loss was observed because of reduced drainage outflow, though some chemical concentrations were found to be above the recommended surface water quality standards in this region. For example, sulfate was recommended to be below 750 mg/L but was reported at a mean value of 1971 mg/L during spring free drainage. The chemical composition of the subirrigation water was shown to have an impact on drainage water and the soil, specifically on salinity-related parameters, and the impact varied between years. This variation largely depended on the amount of subirrigation applied, soil moisture, and soil properties. Overall, the results of this study show the benefits of controlled drainage on nutrient loss reduction from agricultural fields.

An increasing scarcity of water, as well as rapid global climate change, requires more effective water conservation alternatives. One promising alternative is rainwater harvesting (RWH). Nevertheless, the evaluation of RWH potential together with the selection of appropriate sites for RWH structures is significantly difficult for the water managers. This study deals with this difficulty by identifying RWH potential areas and sites for RWH structures utilizing geospatial and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) techniques. The conventional data and remote sensing data were employed to set up needed thematic layers using ArcGIS software. The soil conservation service curve number (SCS-CN) method was used to determine surface runoff, centered on which yearly runoff potential map was produced in the ArcGIS environment. Thematic layers such as drainage density, slope, land use/cover, and runoff were allotted appropriate weights to produced RWH potential areas and zones appropriate for RWH structures maps of the study location. Results analysis revealed that the outcomes of the spatial allocation of yearly surface runoff depth ranging from 83 to 295 mm. Moreover, RWH potential areas results showed that the study areas can be categorized into three RWH potential areas: (a) low suitability, (b) medium suitability, and (c) high suitability. Nearly 40% of the watershed zone falls within medium and high suitability RWH potential areas. It is deduced that the integrated MCDA and geospatial techniques provide a valuable and formidable resource for the strategizing of RWH within the study zones.
