Context

Chennai also known as Madras is the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal, it is the biggest cultural, economic and educational centre of south India.

Being my second home, the city is facing an acute water shortage now (June 2019). Chennai is entirely dependent on ground water resources to meet its water needs. There are four reservoirs in the city, namely, Red Hills, Cholavaram, Poondi and Chembarambakkam, with a combined capacity of 11,057 mcft. These are the major sources of fresh water for the city.

Apart from the reservoirs, the other sources of fresh water water are desalination plants at Nemelli and Minjur; aquifers in Neyveli, Minjur and Panchetty; Cauvery water from Veeranam lake;

Here is an attempt to put together a dataset that has the information about the various water sources available in the city.

Content

This dataset has details about the water availability in the four main reservoirs over the last 15 years

1. Poondi
2. Cholavaram
3. Redhills
4. Chembarambakkam

The data is available on a daily basis and the unit is million cubic feet.

I am planning to add other data like water availability from Veeranam lake, rainfall levels etc.

Inspiration

The idea is to see if we can use this dataset to

1. Visualize the water need / usage of the city
2. Identify whether the water sources availability will be able to meet the needs till the subsequent monsoon?
3. How bad is the current water crisis compared to previous years?

Objectives of the Study:

The objective of this study is to define, describe, segment, and forecast the space launch services market, and map the segments as well as subsegments across major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). Based on service type, the market has been segmented into pre-launch and post-launch services. Based on payload, the market has been segmented into satellite, human spacecraft, cargo, testing probes, and stratollite. Based on orbit, the market has been segmented into LEO, MEO, GEO, and beyond GEO. Based on launch platform, the market has been segmented into land, air, and sea. Based on launch vehicle size, the market is segmented into small lift launch vehicles (<350,000kg) and medium-to-heavy lift launch vehicles (>350,000kg). Based on end user, the market has been segmented into commercial and military & government.

Conclusions

1. The Space Race wasn't started for the sake of Space exploration, it was a result of tensions between nations. But it definitely moved the Humanity forward and We are all proud of it.
2. Russia has done good when it comes to launch successes and we also observed that Japan is really lagging behind with their space program.
3. We saw clear rise of SpaceX missions but there isn't any further relevant data to understand why other Private and startup agencies aren't doing so well.
4. When it comes to safety, US policy is very good. We saw that they don't use the same space vehicle for a much longer time. Using the same vehicle for a longer time can lead to big disasters and it is always good to discontinue them after some time.

I developed a web application ‘Paperless’ – an online practical submission application. With it, students can compile and run different types of programming languages, source code and store their daily assignments provided during the practical sessions online.

Faculties can access the status of student assignments daily and provide online grades based on Test Cases. As a team of two, we formulated novel algorithms for the compiler which can compile and run more than seven languages’ codes. To avoid any forgery during practical sessions we developed and integrated the plagiarism-checking feature into the application.

‘Paperless’ is featured with many advanced functionalities like notifications alert, demographics, efficient and intelligent data tables, and many more. It is currently being used in our college and we are trying to scale it to suit the needs of other institutions.

I have developed a Web Application (Medica) where the patient can have a record of all its Medical Reports generated by any Medical authorities. The patient account is validated by its UID Number.

The Medical authorities can access the patient account by using patient UID Number and UID of medical authorities.

Patient can access his account by using his/her UID Number and Password.
