Rainwater Harvesting Introduction It was very difficult to imagine few decades before that you will require to buy drinking. The use value of water was never undermined‚ but it’s about time that even its exchange value is given due importance. Fresh water today is a scarce resource‚ and it is being felt the world over. More than 2000 million people would live under conditions of high water stress by the year 2050‚ according to the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)‚ which warns water

Groundwater dams are structures that intercept or obstruct the natural flow of groundwater and provide storage for water underground. They have been used in several parts of the world‚ notably India‚ Africa and Brazil. Their use is in areas where flows of groundwater vary considerably during the course of the year‚ from very high flows following rain to negligible flows during the dry season. The basic principle of the groundwater dam is that instead of storing the water in surface reservoirs‚ water

------------------------------------------------- Rainwater harvesting From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer. Uses include water for garden‚ water for livestock‚ water for irrigation‚ etc. In many places the water collected is just redirected to a deep pit with percolation. The harvested water can be used for drinking water as well if the storage is a tank that can be accessed and cleaned when needed. Rainwater harvesting provides an independent

Rain Water Harvesting: A Solution To Water Crisis Water is an essential resource. No one can live and survive without water. Hence‚ we should not let the source of the life waste‚ instead we must store it. We can do so by the methods of Rainwater Harvesting. Rainwater Harvesting refers to the process of collecting and storing of rainwater. Rainwater harvesting helps in providing drinking water‚ water for irrigation‚ agricultural purposes or for groundwater recharge. It is one of the best solutions

RAINWATER HARVESTING Other Information In the present scenario management and distribution of water has become centralized. People depend on government system‚ which has resulted in disruption of community participation in water management and collapse of traditional water harvesting system. As the water crisis continues to become severe‚ there is a dire need of reform in water management system and revival of traditional

Implementing Rainwater Harvesting On The Austin College Campus Austin College prides itself on having an aesthetically pleasing campus. These aesthetics include multiple flowerbeds‚ trees‚ and fountains. When sitting on one of the campus lawns‚ the sound of splashing water can be heard faintly coming from the fountains‚ adding to the calm and enjoyable experience. Although these fountains look wonderful and add to the college campus’s appearance‚ they are quite expensive to run. The amount of

The rights of a fetus/embryo can be controversial which allows for the discussion to expand. Human rights are defined by stating that “[e]veryone’s right to life shall be protected by law” (Goldman‚ 2015). Now when applying this to a human all is well and everything is socially accepted‚ individuals know their boundaries and they are respected. Transitioning this to a fetus the situation gets blurred and controversy about how to distinguish whether an embryo/fetus is a human being‚ is brought up

the need for a mothers’ womb or a sergeant mother‚ in what they are calling “the new fashioned way”: growing the embryo in an artificial womb. Doctors are developing artificial wombs in which embryos can grow outside woman’s body. The work has been hailed as a breakthrough in treating the childless. Scientists have created prototypes made out of cells extracted from women’s bodies. Embryos successfully attached themselves to the walls of these laboratory wombs and began to grow. However‚ experiments
