This session has outlined an interesting project for critical resources (e.g. river water) sharing among multiple entities rationally with fairness, correctness, transparency and accountability. It is also essential to control heavy rainfall which often results flood, landslide and soil erosion in urban and rural zone. Such type of project requires the support of deep analytics of river and irrigation engineering, water resource management and cloud physics. Rational resource sharing is basically the problem of real-time supply chain optimization.
It is also a critical research agenda to explore efficient risk mitigation strategies against heavy rainfall and flood. How can we fight against natural calamities like flood due to heavy rainfall? We need an optimal mix of proactive and reactive approaches. Intelligent urban and rural development planning is essential in terms of reliable infrastructures (e.g. houses, roads, bridges, flyover, drainage system etc.). Can we explore the concept of a ‘smart water grid’ to divert surplus water through pipelines, canals, rivers and drains to neighboring districts or states from flooded zone? It is rational to monitor timely release of water from various dams sequentially during rainy season; simultaneous release of water from all the dams of a state may aggravate the flood situation; it may be a conspiracy to draw flood relief fund by creating chaos through malicious artificial intelligence. Sufficient number of water storage or harvesting systems (e.g. dams) is required.
Modern, well designed networks of drainage systems should be built along with filters. Regular cleaning of drains is essential to remove mud, sand, plastic goods, polythene packets, haggis and pads to avoid congestion or jamming in rainy season. It is also required to open manholes during rain carefully monitored by municipal and cleaning staff so that there should not be water logging problems on the roads and streets. It is an interesting and feasible option to increase level of residential plots at low land using soil and bricks. Intelligent evacuation plan should be ready during natural disaster. Migration of human civilization from risky zone and fair rehabilitation is also essential. The problem should be tackled scientifically; there may be threats of false data injection attacks and rumors such as superstitions, narrow prejudices and religious curses through various broadcast communication channels. The system administrators should be alert of the readiness of natural disaster relief workforce (NDRF) and army with helicopters, choppers, life- boats and other relief equipments during rainy season. It is rational to exercise capital budgeting based on fair and correct valuation by the experts, surveys, audit and demand plan of reliable infrastructure (e.g. road, bridges, flyovers and nano- housing scheme). How can we tackle cloudbursts artificially applying the concept of cloud physics? It is an open research agenda.
It is possible to construct similar type of search mechanism like RPSM and risk mitigation strategies against the threats of geological hazards such as earthquake. For example, the risk mitigation strategies should include rational approaches in urban and rural development planning, public policy making, cautious approach and regulatory compliance on mining of earth’s soil (e.g. coal, minerals, sand, gas pipeline) and construction activities (e.g. saturation in metropolitan cities, building high storied buildings without soil testing, tunnels, metro rails, irrigation projects, dams etc.), monitoring of volcanoes and landslides in hilly zones. The aforesaid type of probabilistic search problem is really hard to solve and it is also challenging to deploy RPSM in reality and seeks extensive support, coordination, planning and corporate social responsibilities from various space research organizations and earth science institutes globally. The most critical challenges involve the innovation of automated real-time search algorithm, intelligent sensors and predictive analytics, resource planning and deployment, system administration and coordination both locally and globally. Artificial intelligence is basically simulation of human intelligence. A rational reasoning system often needs the support of an intelligent analytics. An intelligent reasoning system demands new solution methodology beyond traditional knowledge base with imagination, envision, perception and proper assessment of a hard problem like the aforesaid probabilistic search.
