A study was conducted at the WREMI, Baroda to study the characteristics of head loss at the head of poly tubes attached to the lateral line, and inlet pressure in micro tubes attached to the micro manifold of a micro irrigation system. Determination of head loss and inlet pressure at different segments is very important in order to design an efficient micro irrigation system. Keeping this in mind, head loss characteristics was studied through the entire poly tube as well as at the head of poly tubes at the point of attachment to the lateral line as influenced by diameter, length and discharge...

Noise pollution is a displeasing human, animal or machine created sound that disturbs the activity or balance of human and animal life. Vadodara is the 3rd largest city of Gujarat after Surat and Ahmadabad having estimated population of 18 lakhs. Due to increase population and industrialization, the transportation in the city increased to unimaginary heights.The increased vehicular numbers on existing roads has considerably pushed traffic to create noise that adversely effects the human being and living creatures.
