The estimated potential in prospective states of the country and their achievements against these are also presented. Paper also presents the analysis on emergence of India and its current position among the leading country's of the world in wind power installation. India is blessed with immense wind energy resources. The National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), by using advanced LiDAR/SiDAR technique to collect data through more than 800 monitoring stations installed across the country, estimated the country's wind energy potential as 302 GW at the height of 100m from the ground level. India's cummulative installed capacity of wind energy as on 31 March 2020 was 37.69 GW accountig only 12.47% of the estimated potential. With this generation capacity, India is ranked fourth in the world, but the percentage of capacity utilisation is inadequate and this indicates the slow pace of wind energy development in the country. Study reveals that the auspicious target of affordadable clean energy for all can be achieved through the faster development of the wind energy sector. Paper also suggests that to accelerate the pace of wind projects installation and establish wind power as one among the prospective sources of energy for sustainable development, there is the need to ease the process of land availabilibity, develop the necessary transmission facility, ensure more financing to the wind sector and promote hybrid technologies.

Nodes or devices communicate each other through radio range, intermediate devices and signal strength based mechanism. Mobile devices work with limited energy because mobile device contain battery that helps only to activate the devices. In previous related work, number of researcher enhanced the network life time by deploying energy consumption routing (ECR), Max-Min Battery cost routing (MMBCR) and many more techniques. In this paper, signal strength, transmission power requirement and location based approach is applied that helps to increase the reliability of the network with low overhead. Node locations are calculated through relative coordinate based mechanism. Signal strength is inversely proportional to location of nodes. It means signal strength is higher if node location is near, and on the other end, lower is the signal strength if far is the location of the node. Source to receiver path are selected on the basis of near node and higher signal strength and low transmission power, which increase the network performance in every aspect of network parameters. The proposed work is simulated through network simulator-2. Simulated result gives the higher data sends and receives rate and also calculates energy used, residual energy of network, receiving signal strength of each node, and node location in every discrete time interval.

There is a demand of nanotechnology based products because of their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. Because of this demand the outflow of engineered nanoparticles/ nanomaterials (ENPs/ ENMs) is increasing day by day and has prompted expanded creation and utilization of manufactured/synthesized nanoparticles (NPs). Nano TiO2, silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles are the widely used ENPs because of their dominancy in more than 50% of the consumer and electronic products. In the global market, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (MNPs and MONPs) based product constitutes almost 50% of the consumer/electronic items and therefore they are the important class of ENPs to study. During their synthesis, transportation, usage, and disposal, a significant portion of these ENPs are released into the environment which finally affects the human health. Besides synthesis, these nanoparticles are also used for various environmental remediations like in water treatment, reducing air pollution by using self cleaning paints, which unintentionally led to their release and finally contamination of the environment. Till date we don't have adequate data to quantify the amount of these NPs released into the environment. Though the advancement of nanotechnology has progressed huge amounts at a time, however our insight into the toxicological impacts and dangers of ENPs falls a long ways behind the speed of theircreation and use. Numerous toxicity investigations in various biological and environmental systems have been conducted because of their potential impact on the ecosystem and human health. Little is known about the dangers that these ENPs pose to human health. Therefore, the exposure assessment and toxicity study of nanomaterials in the environment is a relatively new and pressing concern because their environmental impact is poorly understood. Understanding the human exposure of these ENPs are therefore very important in order to understand the possible health effect of these particles, because little research has been done on these ENPs till recently. In this paper we critically review the toxicity and exposure assessment of two important categories of ENPs: Metal and metal oxide based ENPs (MENPs and MOENPs) since there are considerable gaps in our knowledge of these ENP's toxicity.

Life on earth is impossible without water, but increasing materialism day by day has given rise to various types of serious problems related to water, whom study and search for solutions is the basic responsibility of hydrologists and researchers. Researchers usually publish their research output in research journals or present it in scientific seminars. From the point of view of use, the information sources that publish research output can be of two types, closed access or open access.In this article, an attempt has been made to assess open access research articles from various aspects in ten years from 2012 to 2021, for which data has been taken from the database of Web of Science. A broad searchable term 'Water Research' has been used for data mining. The search results have been presented through tables and figures.
