IIT Bombay’s new deep learning framework, named SpADANet, enhances damage classification accuracy using limited labels across multiple hurricanes.
This new effort provides a single, high-quality, and comprehensive database that maps the environmental, physical, and human landscapes of the catchments for all 5,715 large dams in the country.
Study shows how a proposed hydropower project can submerge the habitats of these cranes and what can be done to make it favourable for the winged visitors.
Dams and other hydrological barriers are essential for the production of hydroelectricity and to direct water to water-deficient areas. But the presence of these structures are known to interfere with the ecology of the river, affecting the flora and fauna inhabiting it. The western ghats of India are home to many endemic fish species which are affected by these hydrological structures. Recent study from ATREE shows what can be done to ensure that the biodiversity in the Western Ghats is not lost to hydrological structures.
