Five most promising topics of research in rainfall nowcasting models
BPFeedThe process of forecasting the rainfall after two or less than two-hour is known as Rainfall nowcasts(RN). The model which predicts such a very short-term storm is referred to as the Rainfall Nowcasting model (RNM). Due to the high amount of variability involved the development of accurate nowcast models is a challenging task. Due to the increase in climatic variability and urbanization, the need for such models for the design and development of accommodative infrastructures is increasing. That is why five of the most important research topics related to rainfall nowcasting are delineated

Seven New Runoff Prediction Models of 2022
BPFeed
Runoff Prediction Models(RPM) are those models which predict the runoff or flood peak of a watershed or input runoff to a dam etc. Generally, such models require climatic parameters, geomorphology, soil characteristics, and land cover as input against which a runoff model can predict the monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly runoff. These models can be spatially distributed or lumped, temporally long or short, data-driven or conceptual. The seven most recent Runoff Prediction Models(RPM) are selected based on their accuracy, reliability, ease of use, and recentness.
Five most promising topics of research in Building Induced Rainfall Redistribution(BIRR)
BIRR is referred to the impact of impervious areas on the distribution of water after rainfall. The area, type, and texture of various impervious areas like buildings, pavements, roads, etc. do not allow rainfall to infiltrate the soil cover and enforced the water droplets to flow off the watershed as runoff. The impact of buildings on rainfall redistribution and its effect on water availability can yield interesting and useful research proposals. Five of which are listed below:
Solar Panels Plus Farming? Agrivoltaics Explained
Farming under solar panels can create a greenhouse-like effect at the same time can produce energy to satisfy the demand of the farms at least.
Vortex blade for wind power generation
No blade.No turbine. But can generate power from wind using the oscillation generated due to the wind flow. Not expensive, less material, easy to install.
