Infrastructure Development and Water Management

"Infrastructure Development and Water Management" offers valuable insights into the pivotal aspects of modern engineering and water resource management. It begins by exploring the evolution of surveying techniques, highlighting their critical role in infrastructure projects and environmental monitoring. The book then shifts focus to sustainable construction practices, with a comparative study investigating the efficacy of using jute fibers to reinforce concrete paver blocks. Next, it navigates through the realm of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing, emphasizing their significance in evaluating groundwater potential zones for sustainable water resource management. Furthermore, the book addresses the pressing concern of scour mitigation around bridge piers, examining various techniques to prevent erosion and ensure the structural integrity of bridges. Finally, it delves into the intricate design and analysis of water distribution networks, using advanced tools like Water GEMS to optimize efficiency and address challenges faced by regions such as Kamalghat, Tripura.
