There are many Facebook pages that have been created as a resource to collect, share, and disseminate information about education and education technologies. In this study an attempt has been made to know about various educational pages in Facebook. The study has taken one day survey of total no. of likes and followers for educational pages in Facebook. The educational pages are identified by the Researcher based on her explorative knowledge on the field by random browsing in the Facebook.

Cities are expecting dramatic population growth and so it will need new and intelligent infrastructure to meet the needs of their citizens and businesses. The water provided by the 5 cities (Chennai, Trichy, Madurai, Coimbatore, Thanjavur) is not sufficient for the use of citizen. In this project we have only considered the water resources available in the different area in trichy. All resources are mapped in the Google map using KML (Keyhole Markup Language) platform .The research also deals with providing a graphical view for the availability of ground water resources of the 5 cities. The groundwater flow model for the study city was formulated by using input data, such as the location of water resources and appropriate boundary conditions. This project needs to collect data from various sources and analysis those data with some datamining tools for predict or decision making process. After collections of various data, main task it to maintain data apply transformation and preprocessing of large data sets for that data mining tools is required. Now a day’s various tools for data mining are available either as opensource or commercial software. It includes wide range of software products, from comfortable problem-independent data mining suites, to business centered data warehouses with integrated data mining capabilities and to early research prototypes for newly developed methods. These projects are discussed about various available data mining tools and compare their utilities. We use WEKA, Orange, R Studio, Tinn R, R tools for comparative study about the water resource analysis.

The binary quadratic equation represented by the positive pellian 72 36 2 2 y  x  is analysed for its distinct integer solutions. A few interesting relations among the solutions are given. Further, employing the solutions of the above hyperbola, we have obtained solutions of other choices of hyperbolas, parabolas and special Pythagorean triangle.
