Acoustic velocity properties of Danian limestone section exposed at the Curfs quarry, Southeastern Netherlands

  In order to establish the relationship existing between the seismic velocity and petrophysical properties of limestone, ultrasonic pulse transmission technique under simulated pressure of 2.5 to 10 Mpa and at a frequency of 300 to 800 kHz was used in the determination of both compressional-wave and shear- wave velocities. The measurements were carried out for both dry and fluid saturated limestone obtained...

Geological and environmental issues of the proposed link canal (Inchampalli to Nagarjunasagar) of Godavari to Krishna Rivers adopting remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS)

  Extremely erratic rainfall, unevenly distributed and very heavy precipitation in short time resulting in flash floods and inundation in India became a usual phenomena in recent years. At every event, a huge quantity of water is being wasted into the sea as run-off quite frequently due to inadequate harvesting structures. This huge run-off / surplus water can be harvested through the proposed linking of river...
