1/2

Name : Ankit Saxena

• What is the diference in point source vs. nonpoint source o pollution?

Provide two examples.o Point source: Pollutants which are coming rom a single point, source o 

pollutant is dened like euent drains o industries.o on!point sources: "ource o pollutants is not well dened# the

pollutants are coming to a water $od% rom diferent areas like

pesticides rom diferent agriculture arms.

• &ive two reasons or the purposes o watershed modeling.

o Watershed modeling is re'uired to determine the ate or path o water

in a particular watershed $% the events o a h%dro!geological c%cle.o Watershed modeling also helps in determining the pollution load or

sediment load in a $asin. (he pollution load or sediment load will help

in determining the sources and their impacts on the environment.

•

What are the main orcing unction )input timeseries* re'uired or h%drolog%modeling with +"P?

o Weather -ata anagement le

o "tream /ow data

o 0and 1se -ata

• &ive two examples where solar radiation is used in water 'ualit% modeling.

o -issolved 2x%gen

o Ph%toplankton &rowth

• What is the purpose o watershed delineation?

o  (o mark the $oundaries in which an% water coming rom an% orm o

precipitation is moving to its stream or drains present in it.

•What is weight o evidence approach?

o 3t a wa% o solving an e'uation in which a data set is validating the

other uncertain data set. 0ike Precipitation, temp data and cloud cover

can give us an idea o evapotranspiration. 3t means evidence like high

temperature, low precipitation and no cloud cover will increase the

evapotranspiration.

• 4ased on what %ou have studied in this workshop, provide two research

'uestions that %ou can address $% watershed modeling )using +"P*?o 3mpacts on 3ndustriali5ation on the streams in a valle%.

o 0oss in ertilit% o an area due to sediment loss.

• ocus %our 'ueries or the local issues that %ou encounter. 6n example is

provided $elow.a. +ow much sediment looking can $e reduced to a downstream water$od%

rom the midlevel cit% like 7oorkee, $% using local 4est anagement

Practices?o Watershed management: 4% 7educing the /ow rate o the stream or $%

creating spillwa%s.
