ABSTRACT: Genetic Algorithm is one of the global optimization schemes that have gained popularity as a means to attain water resources optimization. It is an optimization technique, based on the principle of natural selection, derived from the theory of evolution, is used for solving optimization problems. In the present study Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been used to develop a policy for optimizing the release of water for the purpose of irrigation. The study area is Sukhi Reservoir project in…

Many people say that Renewable, and Alternative energies are going to be the only viable options for energy in the future. Others believe that these new types of fuels will only harm the planet more. This research paper will cover topics such as: what are the different types of Alternative/Renewable energy? What are the pros and cons of the different types of Alternative energy? Is it a long term solution? Geothermal, Hydroelectricity, Solar power, and Wind power are some of the more common…

This agency, which still exists, was tasked with developing hydroelectric power resources on the Columbia River in rural western Washington State. In the process, they thoroughly cultivated a resource estimated to contain about 42 percent of the hydropower potential of the United States, and by bringing cheap, reliable power to the pacific northwest, they helped win WWII, keep the Cold War from becoming "hot"…

1. C Why: according to Newton’s first law of motion, an object that is free from all outside forces travels at a constant velocity, covering equal distances in equal times along a straight-line path, C is true. 2. D Why: not matter an object is still or is in motion, the object has inertia all the time. Inertia is a nature/property of any objects. 3. D Why: the ship is moving at a constant speed, which is in a balanced status. For the athlete, it would be likely to do a long jump on ground.…

(Nikiforuk, 1). EVs must be paired up with factories that run on cleaner energy in order for them to make a big difference in reducing emissions. A good fix for the emissions of factories is to switch them off coal burning and onto low-carbon fuels. Hydropower, geothermal power, and nuclear power can greatly reduce the CO2 emissions produced in making electric cars. Only when successfully paired with greener energy factories will electric cars actually begin to make a difference in the reduction…

Sikhism:a monotheistic religion founded in Punjab in the 15th century by Guru Nanak. Demographics:statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it. Hydroelectricity: is the term referring to electricity generated by hydropower; the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing…

causing major water shortages at the hydroelectric plants along the river. Fourteen dams exist along the main stem of the river, with many more on tributaries. The dams and hydroelectric plants on the Columbia River make up one third of the potential hydropower in the United States. As well as supplying energy to the…

energy instead of non-renewable energy that could destroy the environment and waste time. “Wind is among the most mature of renewable energy technologies and is currently the United States of America’ s largest source of renewable power, excluding hydropower and accounts for nearly two percent of the nation’s total electric generation,” (Whitehouse). Government in the United States of America has also started supporting wind power and started marketing. “The Market for wind power, however, has…

The United States has been dependent on non-renewable fuel sources for many years. Ever since the advent of the coal powered steam engines and the internal combustion engine, fuels such as coal and oil have governed the lives and economy of the majority of Americans. These non-renewable fuels release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which add to greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases lead to climate change and many other detrimental effects. According to the IPCC “Most of…

Energy is most fundamental parts of our universe and most essential part of everyone’s life. Among all kind of energy, electric energy is the most important that people need every day and every part of their life. The energy consumption is expected to grow about 60% in the next two decades throughout the world. As a large part of the total energy is provided by fossil fuels, the future of the world economy growth is highly dependent on whether the ever-increasing energy demand can be met. Fossil…
