A Survey has been conducted to find out the possibility of tapping water from Dzüna Rivers and has been found to be feasible. This Project envisages for a 975 million litre capacity Balancing Reservoir to store the surplus monsoon run-off water from Dzüna river. This will‚ to a large extent supplement the deficiency during lean season

Water is an essential ingredient for life and may be the most precious resource the earth has to offer humanity. Many believe‚ however‚ that this valuable commodity is in danger as a result of man-made pollution. Through disrespect‚ shortsightedness and neglect‚ the species may be compromising its own survival unless there is significant improvement in water quality and management. The purpose of this paper will be to discuss water and its pollution through the various contaminants found in domestic

Importance of Water The water that we consume today is the same water since pre historical period .The importance of water has not changed; the only difference now is the purity and efficiency of it. Barbara Kingsolver‚ a famous American writer‚ explains the problems concerning water in her article‚ “Fresh Water.” Humans’ inclinations to excessively use natural assets have caused climate change and drought in many parts of the world‚ making it difficult for many people to access clean and fresh water.

The Water Cycle Intro How come we never run out of water? After millions of years you’d think that our water supply would be all used up right! It’s not though‚ because of one special process‚ the hydrologic cycle‚ more commonly known as "the water cycle." Main Points This water cycle recycles the Earth’s water supply. In other words‚ the water keeps getting reused over and over. Just think‚ the next glass of water you drink could have been part of a dinosaur’s bath‚ one

Plants are mostly made up of water. Lettuce is about 94% water and a potato is about 77% water. Plants need water for three main purposes: ------photosynthesis‚ -support -transport of chemicals Water is a raw material for photosynthesis. If water is in short supply‚ the rate of photosynthesis will be limited. Plants need water for support‚ otherwise they wilt. Water is needed to transport many chemicals within plants. Chemicals‚ such as mineral salts‚ dissolve in water and they can then be moved

Rain Water Harvesting RAIN WATER HARVESTING AND ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE TO GROUND WATER WHAT IS RAIN WATER HARVESTING : The principle of collecting and using precipitation from a catchments surface. An old technology is gaining popularity in a new way. Rain water harvesting is enjoying a renaissance of sorts in the world‚ but it traces its history to biblical times. Extensive rain water harvesting apparatus existed 4000 years ago in the Palestine and Greece. In ancient Rome‚ residences

million residents. This means the demand for consumable water is high‚ and with this demand comes depletion. Many areas of the Central and West Coast Basins are experiencing ground water depletion‚ which has resulted in an intrusion of saltwater in coastal aquifers‚ “natural filters that trap sediment and other particles (like bacteria) and provide natural purification of the ground water flowing through them” (Idaho Museum of Natural History).

Typical pollutants include: • Oxygen-demanding waste: materials that produce a high BOD [Fig. 11.2‚ Keller‚ 2000]

“In Philippines‚ clean water is scarce.” The quest for clean water has become a life or death ordeal in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan ’s massive storm surge and quick action needs to be taken to prevent further disease and dehydration. Our proposal is that we should help provide the villagers with the installation of ram pumps‚ villages will benefit in creating a more accessible water system and a healthier environment. The ram pumps will provide clean water to save people from waterborne
