University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    WATER PROJECTS AND WATERSHED TREATMENT
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, BANGALORE, 1968) HAWKINS, RICHARD HOLMES; DILS, R E
    A presumptive approach was used to analyze the effect of land~nag~ent-caused alteration of hydrology on the output of water conservation projects. Two basic kinds of hydrologic reaction to land treatment were assumed: a constant factor flow increase for all months of the year, and a 1/2 month delay in the annual hydrograph. These alterations were applied singly and in combination to a series of computer-generated reservoir inflows, and storage-yield relationships determined qy the sequent peak method, both for the altered {treated) and unaltered (virgin) inflows. The difference between the yields at various storages was determined by subtraction, and attributed to the differences in inflows, or the alterations. Results showed that not all increases in flow were of value to the water project in terms of increased yield. A constant factor increase gained utility with increasing storage. A timing delay had very little effect on yield at very small and very large storages, but was of maximum effectiveness at intermediate storages. A.p~mbination effect, i.e., flow increases and timing delays, affected the yield curve in an approximately additive fashion, combining the two separate treatments nearly linearly. The method used appears viable and applicable to other investigations of hydrology alterations on downstream uses
