Prevalent irrigation water quality guidelines for use of sodic groundwater on sandy loam soils of Haryana for kharif (monsoon) fallow–rabi (winter) wheat crop rotation were investigated through modeling with UNSATCHEM. Three sandy loam soils that vary with respect to soil CEC (Cation Exchange...

The present study focuses on the in-depth hydrologic and hydrogeologic analyses of Kathajodi-Surua Inter-basin within the Mahanadi deltaic system of Orissa, eastern India to explore the possibility of enhanced and sustainable groundwater supply. The results of 6 years (2001–2006) streamflow...

Forecasting of groundwater levels is very useful for planning integrated management of groundwater and surface water resources in a basin. In the present study, artificial neural network models have been developed for groundwater level forecasting in a river island of tropical humid region,...

In this study, high resolution (5.8m) multi-spectral satellite data (IRS-P6, LISS IV) along with extensive ground information were used for sustainable land use planning of a rainfed watershed in eastern India (Bahasuni watershed, Dhenkanal, Orissa). Pedo-transfer functions were developed to...

This study explores the use of rough-set methods for marketing decision support systems in the retail business. A tutorial presentation of Rough Set Data Analysis (RSDA) in the context of knowledge discovery from time series databases is given. We show how an RSDA model can be used to develop a...
