Day By Day

Now a day the drinking water quantity is day by day going down due to some environmental conditions or climatic changes and water scarcity. The groundwater level also decreased in the summer season in comparing to other weather conditions. Generally, the water demand per day is 133per capita. In desert regions or low groundwater level areas the water consumption is very low and usage is also reduced. Minimizing water problems recycled water is used for plantation, garden works, construction work; etc.., So this reason the water saving is important and innovation is needed for the usage of water for any purpose, mainly needed to drinking. This project deals with the dew drain water analysis for drinking purposes. The characteristics of dew drain water match the natural water as per BIS.

With increased interests in oil and gas exploration in cold climate regions, it is not realistic that all construction activities can take place during the short summer and work will continue into the early fall and possibly later. The offshore contractors must, therefore, be ready to participate in construction work in these regions during an extended season, i.e. outside the summer season with milder weather conditions. It is also important that some key work-intensive activities (e.g. pipe laying) can start as early as possible in the season. This paper will discuss the challenges associated with construction work in cold climate regions with emphasis on the physical conditions, in particular with reference to Polar Low Pressures and the potential for icing, as well as the logistics of working long distances from established supply bases. Large uncertainties in weather forecasts call for proper management decisions accounting for the specifics of the area. Long periods of “waiting on weather” might result and management must have the patience to wait until safe operations can commence. Emphasis will be on the Barents Sea where recent hydrocarbon findings have proven very encouraging and where a huge area soon will be opened for exploration, following the agreement on the border between Norway and Russia, potentially calling for joint Norwegian–Russian construction projects (Bulakh et al., 2011).

India is a land of different weather conditions and versatile soils. Every year Indian farmers are facing problem of sudden rain in their areas without any correct weather forecast which leads to damage of the already grown crops. The second major problem pertaining to Indian farmers is the lack of sufficient knowledge about their soil. The soil forecasting of how the soil structure is changing day by day due to different weather condition and other external factors, and which crop will be optimally suited to be grown in such soil are some of the problems common to the farmers. This paper makes an attempt to assess and propose model solution along with developing a prototype of device using IoT for use by farmers in Indian agriculture practice. The solution proposed will have a centralized data server to analyze the data and report to the farmer the precautionary steps to be taken in advance for safety of the crops. The solution proposed have eco-friendly energy management through solar plant and wind energy which makes IoT device more portable and low cost, along with making it implementable in Indian rural sectors..

As a basic need of human life, the place of safe potable water cannot be ignored elsewhere. Therefore, themain objective of the current study was to take an overview of the main source of water, expenditure on waterpurchasing and use quality of bottled water in Bahawalpur city. Primary data were gathered through a structuredquestionnaire during a field survey in selected five residential areas as sample sites i.e. Model town A, Model town B,Shahdrah, Satellite town, and Islami colony, while the secondary data were collected from PCRWR and a few websources. Data were gathered from 150 respondents (30 from each study site) and analyzed in SPSS 17 software byapplying descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages) to get a generalized picture regarding the main source ofwater, use and quality of bottled water in the study area. Findings make it clear that majority of the respondents werefetching water from government filtration plants following the electric pumps. Moreover, various local watercompanies (e.g. Pineo, Piyas, Aquafina, Kinley, Al-Shiffa, Life Water) were also supplying water in the study area.Particularly, the use and demand for bottled water are increasing day by day as people have serious concerns on qualityrelated issues of water. Bottled water was available in different quantities from 0.5 liters to 19 liters with respectiveprices that were purchased from various departmental and medical stores or via home delivery service. But the qualityof the bottled water was not satisfactory and up to the standards. The PCRWR laboratory analysis of bottled watersamples show significant variations and alarmingly different brands i.e. Blue water, Kalash pure water and Pan Purawere found chemically and microbiologically unfit for drinking purposes. So, it is suggested that regular monitoringand quality control steps by local government in the private sector would ensure the effective and secure potable waterdeliverance.

Around the world, water stress, water scarcity and desertification problems due to water scarcity are increasing day by day. At the international level, international organizations draw attention to these problems, actions are recommended, and efforts are made to resolve them. The objective of this study is to assess the adequacy of measures and efforts at the international level to solve the problems of water, source of life for humanity and nature, which have a geopolitical and geostrategic importance. To this end, the importance of water was underlined, and the chronology of studies initiated at international level on water stress problems were given. Despite important initiatives undertaken internationally, in the study, water stress, which is intensely felt in some parts of the world, was visualized using maps. From the results obtained in the study, it seems that the studies carried out in the fight against the lack of water are limited to superficial measures and main recommendations rather than an effective solution.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important commercial horticultural crop. The cultivation of this crop is increasing day by day. Mainly due to its survival nature, particularly in dry or less water available areas. Its propagation is possible by using seed but vegetative propagation methods are very popular. Even commercial propagation of pomegranate is done by cuttings. To fulfill the rising demand for high-quality plant material, easy, fast, reliable, economical multiplications are required, and under such circumstances, cuttings are the best-suited material. This method of propagation can further be improved by the use of optimum growing media and application of various plant growth regulators Indole Butyric acid and its derivations. Moreover, the success of propagation depends on prevailing weather conditions and the time of planting. Perlite + vermiculite and a combination of vermiculite + coco peat in equal proportions, quick dip application of 2500 ppm IBA, and planting in the spring season are considered ideal for fast and economical multiplication of pomegranate cuttings. Humid weather conditions during the spring season exhibit a good possibility of rooting and survival of the same. Therefore, the main aim of this review article is to collect/compile the information regarding the effect of growing media and applications of IBA under different weather regimes over previous years along with recent happenings.

The availability of drinking water is reducing day by day, whereas the freshwater necessity is tremendously increasing. There is a need for some sustainable water distillation (purification) to overcome this problem. Solar desalination is a technique used to convert brackish or saline water into potable water, and solar still is a useful device to distil brackish water for drinking purposes. Numerous designs of the solar still system have been developed worldwide. Many researchers outlined mathematical terms, performed experiments and validated the outcome from the various types of solar stills by varying the design and operating parameters. In this article, a review of the active and passive solar stills' performance has been carried out.

Granite Residual Soil

Taking the granite residual soil embankment of Fujian Province as an example, this paper investigated the moisture migration mechanism in granite residual soil embankment based on the finite difference technology. The results show that the moisture migration of the shallow layer of the embankment displays up first and down later in dry seasons. In rainy seasons, the negative pressure head of the embankment’s upper soil increases, and range of rainfall variation of the initial period is much sharper than the later period. Meanwhile, at the toe of slope, the rain firstly supplies the groundwater, making it a weak location. After the rain, the contour line of negative pressure head in the upper embankment gradually becomes sparse, and the gradient gradually decreases in the embankment. The fluctuation of negative pressure head on foundation surface decreases with the depth of groundwater. As to the low embankment, the change of the embankment moisture mainly depends on the external weather conditions when the groundwater level is deep and the moisture is mainly affected by groundwater when the groundwater level is shallow.
