Modern Techniques of Irrigation to Farm
Abstract: Irrigation, often known as watering, is the agricultural practise of applying controlled amounts of water to land to aid in the development of crops, as well as to produce landscaping plants and lawns. Rainfed agriculture is agriculture that does not use irrigation and instead relies solely on direct rainfall. It is the process of artificially hydrating land it does not receive adequate rainfall. It's also the process of applying water …

Studies on Phytoplanktons and Their Role in Environmental Monitoring and Management
Abstract: Several parameters are known to affect the quality of environment. These parameters or properties can be physical, chemical or biological. Physical properties of water quality include temperature and turbidity. Chemical characteristics involve parameters such as pH and dissolved oxygen. Biological indicators of water quality typically are the algae and phytoplankton. These parameters are relevant not only to surface water studies of the ocean, lakes and rivers, but to groundwater and …

Rainwater Collection System in Urban Areas
Abstract: Rainwater harvesting involves the collection and storage of rainwater into the natural reservoirs or artificial reservoirs in order to prevent the surface water runoff. Rainwater harvesting is a process of collecting and storing rainwater for using it as a backup supply of freshwater to meet everyday domestic and agricultural requirements, especially when water becomes scarcely available. There are several methods by which we can collect rainwater flowing from our rooftops, …

Soil : Our Need
Abstract: Helpful soil microorganisms exist in soils, so these species are nature's unsung heroes. They develop potential interaction with plants, among other things, to shield them from harm and give plants with nourishment. Dust, chemicals, as well as other unwanted substances from surface water by soil. Which is because many of the healthiest sources of water are underground. Natural methods, like soil uptake, chemical filtration, and the nutrition cycle, according to …
