GRAND CHALLENGES IMPACT LAB - INDIA, 2025 - 2025

Twenty three UoW students arrived in Bangalore over January 1st 2025 with their faculty in-charge. 6th semester students, five from the civil engineering department and nine from chemical engineering department were part of the program BMSCE. The students after their hands on sessions came up with a variety of solutions and probable ways to solve the GCIL problems. On March 13th 2025, an evaluation of what they worked on for the 10 weeks and it was evaluated by their faculty members and the associated NGO in the auditorium of BMSCE. This evaluation was kept open to all the stakeholders involved as a part of GCIL, India and anyone else who were interested to participate. The students from BMSCE were a part of this program for the first three weeks where they are associated with the students of UoW and also get to attend sessions on design thinking. BMSCE has helped our students in the technical learning and also learning beyond the classroom walls in terms of social and industry internships. However, GCIL has provided a platform for our students to look beyond the classroom and become global citizens. Not only has it opened a door for them to apply in universities across the world, it also has initiated the students to absorb the cultural and social way of living from their counterparts across the world. The process of identifying problems and solutions was presented to the faculty. These solutions could be used as a yardstick for the authorities to effectively deal with the problems that are prevalent in Bangalore.

Civil Engineering Faculty Colloquium – Cycle 2 Speaker : Dr. Suresh Ramaswwamy Reddy Professor Department of Civil Engineering BMSCE, Bangalore Date : 14th February 2024 Time : 3:30 pm Venue : Sir.M.V Hall PG block, 1st Floor Lecture #4 on “Crop Yield Response to Water and Soil” - 2024

Abstract of the Talk: The dawn of the industrial revolution, forced the mankind to introduce numerous hazardous compounds into the environment at an exponential rate. The hazardous pollutants consist of a variety of organic compounds and heavy metals. These pose serious risks to plant and human health. In modern economies, soil, air and water are traditionally been used as sites for the disposal of wastes. Supply of good quality irrigation water will decrease in future, as the development of new water supplies will not keep pace with the increasing water needs of industries and municipalities. Thus, irrigated agriculture faces the challenge of using less water and in many cases poorer quality water, to provide food and fibre for an increasing population. The quality of irrigation water plays an important role in agricultural development and requires management for maintaining an optimum salt balance in the root zone for productive agriculture. Irrigation with poor quality water may cause an excessive accumulation of salts in the root zone of soil. This affects crop yield, quality of produce and the choice of crop to be grown. Vrishabavathi command area was considered in the case study. The water in the river is highly polluted and the soil in the command area shows degradation. It was observed that yield from the Maize crop grown with river water on the soil from the command area showed a decrease of about 25% compared to that of the yield from the red soil with bore well water.
