Specific yield is an essential parameter for any groundwater management plan. Volumetric analysis in the domain of groundwater
budgeting for the non-monsoon months has been undertaken for a typical watershed of the Deccan basalt province. The Torla
Odha watershed covers an area of over 22 km2 on a third-order tributary of the westerly flowing Bhima River. The watershed receives a normal annual rainfall of 643 mm.
The entire water demand is supplied by dug wells, which penetrate a shallow aquifer. The specific yield was estimated by comparing
the monthly net volume of water removed from the aquifer, with the volume of aquifer de-saturated, based on monthly water
level data. The estimated specific yield ranges from 0.0019 in May to 0.0173 in November with an average value of 0.0093.
A correlation of the groundwater levels with the detailed geology suggests that the higher specific yield value (0.017) corresponds
to dewatering of the weathered zone within the shallow aquifer. The specific yield of the massive basalt immediately below
the weathered zone varies from 0.0089 to 0.0103. The underlying vesicular basalt, which is dissected by sheet joints, has
a relatively higher specific yield (0.0121). The massive basalt, which forms the base of the shallow aquifer system, has a
lower specific yield from 0.0019 to 0.0022.
Résumé Le débit spécifique est un paramètre essentiel pour tout plan de gestion des eaux souterraines. Les analyses volumétriques,
dans le cadre des bilans hydriques des eaux en dehors des mois de mousson, ont été entreprises pour un bassin-versant typique
de la province basaltique du Deccan. Le bassin-versant du Torla Odha couvre une superficie de 22 km2, et alimente l’affluent du troisième ordre de la rivière Bhima, qui coule vers l’Ouest. La pluviométrie annuelle atteint
643 mm. Toute la demande en eau es assurée par des puits foncés pénétrant dans l’aquifère phréatique.
Le débit spécifique a été estimé en comparant le volume net mensuel d’eau captée dans l’aquifère, avec le volume de l’aquifère
dé-saturé, basé sur les données des niveaux piézométriques mensuels. Le débit spécifique estimé s’étend entre 0,0019 en Mai
et 0.173 en Novembre; la moyenne se situe à 0,0093. Une corrélation entre les niveaux des eaux souterraines et la géologie,
suggère que les débits spécifiques les plus importants (0,017) correspondent aux zones altérées de l’aquifère phréatique.
Le débit spécifique du massif basaltique, immédiatement sous la zone altérée, varie entre 0,0089 et 0,0103. Le basalte vésiculaire,
situé juste en dessous et traversé par des diaclases parallèles, possède un débit spécifique sensiblement plus élevé (0,0121).
Le basalte massif, qui forme la base de l’aquifère phréatique, possède un débit spécifique moins important, compris entre
0,0019 et 0,0022.
Resumen El rendimiento específico es un parámetro esencial para cualquier plan de manejo de aguas subterráneas. Se ha llevado a cabo
el análisis volumétrico, en el entorno de balance de aguas subterráneas, para los meses sin monzón de una cuenca típica de
la provincia de basaltos Deccan. La cuenca Rorla Odha cubre un área de 22 km2 en un tributario de tercer orden del Río Bhima que fluye al oeste. La cuenca capta una lluvia anual normal de 643 mm. La
totalidad de la demanda de agua es abastecida por pozos manuales que penetran un acuífero somero. Se estimó el rendimiento
específico al comparar el volumen neto mensual de agua removido del acuífero con el volumen de agua de-saturado estimado a
partir de datos de niveles de agua mensuales. Los valores estimados de rendimiento específico varían de 0.0019 en mayo a 0.0173
en noviembre con un valor promedio de 0.0093. La correlación de niveles de agua subterránea con la geología de detalle sugieren
que el valor más alto (0.017) de rendimiento específico corresponden con el desaguado de la zona de intemperismo dentro del
acuífero somero. El rendimiento específico del basalto masivo que se encuentra inmediatamente debajo de la zona de intemperismo
varía de 0.0089 a 0.0103. El basalto vesicular subyacente, el cual está disectado por fracturas laminares, tiene un rendimiento
específico relativamente más alto (0.0121). El basalto masivo, que forma la base del sistema de acuífero somero, tiene un
rendimiento específico más bajo el cual varía de 0.0019 a 0.0022.

A pot culture experiment was conducted to study impact and interaction of multi-metals on growth, yield and metals uptake by spinach (variety All Green). Three levels of each chromium (0, 50 and 100 mg/kg), cadmium (0, 1 and 2 mg/kg) and zinc (0, 10 and 20 mg/kg) in combinations (total treatments 3 × 3 × 3 = 27) were applied in a Vertisol (5 kg). The results showed that increasing the concentration of chromium, cadmium and zinc in soil enhanced the respective metal concentrations in spinach root and shoot. When cadmium at 2 mg/kg along with chromium at 100 mg/kg soil was applied, chromium concentration and uptake were decreased in root and shoot. Meanwhile, zinc application had no significant effect on chromium uptake and concentration in spinach biomass. From the results, it was concluded that cadmium at higher dose had an antagonistic effect over chromium. On the other hand, in chromium, cadmium and zinc combinations particularly at their higher levels, a competition among each other was found. Therefore, the findings could be used as guidelines for controlling and management of heavy metals pollution in farmland. 相似文献
Urban regeneration involves the notion of reconstruction of places, where regeneration initiatives are undertaken to ameliorate the quality of physical and social spaces, accrue economic profitability of space, and finally encourage environmental sustainability. Railway stations all around the world have a very important role to play in contemporary urban regeneration strategies as places of both social and material interest. With the progress of the twentieth century several issues like rapidly growing population, seemingly relentless urbanisation, an alarming rate of vehicle emission, and consequent pollution emphasised railway stations as critical places with great potentials of infrastructure development for the optimised functioning of urban centres. Thus the huge value of railway stations and their adjacent land has been acknowledged since the last quarter of the previous century. This paper aims to analyse the place value of railway stations and their immediate neighbourhoods within the urban fabric of a city using a relevant theoretical concept i.e. the ‘Node-Place Model’. Simultaneously it also draws attention to the notion of (re)development of functional spaces in and around the railway stations as a dimension of contemporary urban regeneration strategies, with the help of some global examples. This paper thereby reveals that in the urban centres throughout the entire world the railway stations are progressively attaining the focal position within integrated transport and land use planning strategies, either under the larger concept of 'Transit-Oriented Development' (TOD) or more simply, with the label of (re)development programme. This paper will significantly contribute to the ability of spatial policymakers to direct the future of urban growth towards public transit stations so as to achieve sustainable urban development.
Evaluation and mapping of spatial variations of land productivity is very important for effective landuse planning. The present study was undertaken in watershed of the Song river (Dehra Dun district, U.P.), for assessing and mapping land productivity using modified Storie Index following integrated approach. This approach utilizes soilscape information (derived from digital IRS-IA LISS-II data), soil characteristics (field observed and laboratory analysed) and terrain slope information (obtained from Survey of India topographical maps). The approach consists of preparation of Storie Index productivity rating factors such as: A (soil profile character), B (soil texture), X (soil physical and fertility conditions), and C (land slope), and computerised integration of these maps to generate land productivity map. The results indicate that in the watershed 30.6%, 19.6%, 12.2%, 11.8% and 18.8% areas have been found to be under good, fair, poor, very poor and not suitable, land productivity classes, respectively. 相似文献
A simply defined, accurate and efficient criterion of selecting a spectral-band combination for improved land use/land cover classification using remote sensing data is discussed. Results indicate that Brightness Value Overlapping Index (BVOI) is very effective in measuring the degree of overlap in brightness values among land cover types and in selecting suitable spectral-band combination for landuse classification. The results of BVOI are also compared with the results of another band-combination selecting index - Optimum Index Factor (OIF). 相似文献
Rocket-borne observations of the extinction of solar hydrogen Lyman-alpha radiation made during the solar eclipses of 20 May 1966 at Karistos for normal and 44% visibility and of 7 March 1970 at East Quoddy for normal, 10% and 0.6% visibility have been used to study the variation of temperature in the mesosphere during these events. It is seen that near the mesopause the decrease of temperature at Karistos is by 20° K for 44% visibility and at East Quoddy by 100° K for 0.6% visibility. Possible causes of these temperature variationsvis-a-vis molecular oxygen and pressure variations have been briefly discussed. 相似文献
Syntectonic plutons emplaced in shallow crust often contain intermediate-to low-temperature deformation microstructures but
lack a high-temperature, subsolidus deformation fabric, although the relict magmatic fabric is preserved. The Proterozoic
Vellaturu granite emplaced at the eastern margin of the northern Nallamalai fold belt, south India during the late phase of
regional deformation has a common occurrence of intermediate-to low-temperature deformation fabric, superimposed over magmatic
fabric with an internally complex pattern. But high-T subsolidus deformation microstructure and fabric are absent in this
pluton. The main crystal plastic deformation and fluid enhanced reaction softening was concentrated along the margin of the
granite body. Resulting granite mylonites show Y-maximum c-axis fabric in completely recrystallized quartz ribbonds, dynamic recrystallization of perthites, and myrmekite indicative
of fabric development under intermediate temperature (∼ 500–400°C). The weakly-deformed interior shows myrmekite, feldspar
microfracturing and limited bulging recrystallization of quartz. The abundance of prism subgrain boundaries is indicative
of continuing deformation through low-temperature (∼ 300°C). The relative rates of cooling influenced by advective heat transfer
and deformation of the pluton seem to control the overall subsolidus fabric development. The rapid advective heat transfer
from the interior in the early stages of subsolidus cooling was followed by slow cooling through intermediate temperature
window as a well-developed phyllosilicate rich mylonitic skin around the granite body slowed down conductive heat loss. Low-T
crystal plastic deformation of quartz was effected at a late stage of cooling and deformation of the shallow crustal granite
body emplaced within the greenschist facies Nallamlai rocks. 相似文献
The origin of hydrodynamic turbulence in rotating shear flow is a long standing puzzle.Resolving it is especially important in astrophysics when the flow's angular momentum profile is Keplerian which forms an accretion disk having negligible molecular viscosity.Hence,any viscosity in such systems must be due to turbulence,arguably governed by magnetorotational instability,especially when temperature T ≥10 5.However,such disks around quiescent cataclysmic variables,protoplanetary and star-forming disks,and t... 相似文献
