IIT Roorkee`s new tool to predict how floods spread disease in cities

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee have developed HyEco -- a first-of-its-kind integrated flood-water quality modelling platform which shows how potential disease-causing microbes can travel in floodwaters and where people are most at risk of getting affected.  This novel framework, which also predicts how urban flood waters will spread across a city, was tested during the 2023 Delhi floods. The results were alarming; over 60 per cent of flooded areas were in the high to very high danger zones, and harmful bacteria (E. coli) in the water were found to be hundreds of thousands of times above safe limits. Children, in particular, faced infection risks more than double the internationally accepted safety levels when playing in floodwaters. Floodwaters in many ...

Google debuted a bunch of new camera features that add AI to your photos during its Made by Google event yesterday, including one that claims to let you zoom in by 100 times—but there's one other AI-powered addition that doesn’t actually add AI to your final photo. Called Camera Coach, it essentially tries to ensure your pictures look perfect before you click the shutter rather than trying to fix them up afterwards. As someone who’s still wary of AI-generated imagery, could this be the perfect blend of man and machine I’ve been waiting for?How Camera Coach works Credit: Michelle Ehrhardt Not everyone took a photography course in high school like...
