    Water is inextricably linked with every facet of human development. Its unavailability, deterioration in quality and neglect drastically impedes the quality of human life. The India's accelerated and continuous growth has led to an unprecedented stress on the finite and fragile water resources that are on the verge of depletion on account of overexploitation. Sectoral demands for water are growing rapidly in line with urbanization, population increase, rising income and industrial growth. One of the major sources of drinking water is underground water. The poor management of water calls for action by all stakeholders. In the advent of a water crisis, industry will be hard hit and, it is, therefore, incumbent upon the same to undertake pro active measures toward effective water management.…

    Introduction to Traverse

    • 517 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There are two types of traverse, namely the open traverse and the closed traverse. An open traverse originates at a point of known positions and terminates at a point of unknown position whereas a closed traverse originates and terminates at the same points, it is called the closed loop traverse. We were using the closed loop traverse in this survey. For establishing control points, a closed traverse is preferred since it is provides different checked for included angles, deflection angles and bearing for adjusting the traverse. That why we use this method in this project. When an open traverse is used the work should be checked by providing cut off lines and by making observations on some prominent point visible forms as many stations as possible.…

    Some operations are general for all sites, whereas, others are specific to special site/genotype conditions. Adequate soil preparation must be realized to provide optimum physical soil conditions, improve water holding capacity, and enhance nutrient availability for optimum root growth. Soil preparation goes from minimum tillage systems to methods that imply the modification of some soil properties through mechanical, chemical, and biological procedures (Figure 3). Soil tillage is often used to reduce soil compaction and improve superficial drainage. Tillage includes activities such as ploughing, disking, ripping, and subsoiling. The latter is used to break hard horizon layers and to improve the structure of clayed soils. Bedding consisting in making mounds improves drainage in soils that show minor excess water problems, such as small flooding during very short periods. In Venezuela, bedding is a common practice to avoid effect of short flooding at initial plantation stages. Besides it provides an increased volume of low bulk density, aerated soil. However, if along the growth season, the soil water table is close to the surface, future growth will be poor. In México complex drainage systems have been built to avoid soil flooding produced by periodical river inundations. If soils are very acidic, liming and fertilization can be used as amendments (Section…

    * What distracts you? Identifying distractive thoughts is the most important way of controlling the mind. Figure out why you’re not able to focus or pay attention, and what keeps your mind pre-occupied. Give yourself time to identify these thoughts and write them down. After you’re through with writing them, view them objectively to know why these are disturbing and harmful for you. Encourage self talk to overcome this. Once you start doing this regularly, you’ll know how to eliminate these thoughts from your mind. (Read: Stress Management Tips)…
