RAIN WATER HARVESTING AND ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE OF GROUND WATER RAJASTHAN CONTEXT by Dr. S. K. GUPTA Scientist ‘D’ Central Ground Water Board Western Region, Jaipur Rain water harvesting and Artificial recharge of ground water Rainwater harvesting is the technique of collection and storage of rain water at surface or in subsurface aquifer, before it is lost as surface run off or as evaporation. The artificial recharge to ground water is a process by which the ground water reservoir is augmented
“Next world war could be on WATER” "Anyone who can solve the problems of water will be worthy of two Nobel prizes - one for peace and one for science." John F. Kennedy Water Crisis: Water is a basic requirement for all life, yet water resources are facing more and more demands from, and competition among, users. President Kennedy has expressed the crisis of water in the above said lines so beautifully. According to World Water Council “While the world's population tripled in the 20th century,
INTRODUCTION It is widely known that water covers up to 70% of our planet’s surface. However, we have never been able to have enough fresh water to meet our demands. Up until now, 1.1 billion people worldwide still lack the access to usable water sources and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. (WWF) Even in a centralized industry area, the main water supply system sometimes not able to meet the demand. Water crisis is now a global problem. Since the 1950s

Limitations imposed by high water demands:- Various opinions on implementing water harvesting techniques fail to consider the important water demand-availability conditions. Specifically water requirement for a particular area is calculated based on current social- economic schemes as well as the pastoral climate, which gets attuned by the resource atmosphere of the village, disposal of various technologies to access them along with the provincial legislative policies for the specific time frame
Introductory: Water Consumption in Canada Water consumption, in many regions, is becoming problematic as the objective is to consume and to prevent it from becoming an obsolete factor. Canada has access to one fifth of the world’s freshwater and is known for its rich-water, but noticeably today many regions across the country are suffering water insufficiency on a periodical basis and some even more frequently than others. Canada is one of the largest per capita users of fresh water in the world.
uses water for numerous tasks on a daily basis. Whether its watering schools lawns, washing animals at the Ag building, watering greenhouse plants, or cooking in the cafeteria and washing one’s hands; DHS could not function without the readily available supply of water. Unfortunately, water has become scarcer in Texas over the past few years, because of extreme drought conditions. Due to the limited supply of water in Wise County and surrounding areas, DHS should install a rainwater harvesting system
that up to groundwater. Also, is a method of collection and storage of rain water in external (reservoirs) or groundwater below the external of the earth beforehand you become capitulated as external runoff. Architects and builders are nowadays routinely constructing arrangements to make sure we uphold water stocks. A little of the arrangements most oftentimes installed at the nowadays are those projected for rainwater harvesting. In easy words, this has been projected to arrest and storage rainwater
different ways to supply water in this region. At the end of the report, make a recommendation of the best method of water provision. 1. Introduction Water is one of the vital substances on earth and according to Kreger (2004)“Actually, only 1% of the world's water is usable to us. About 97% is salty seawater, and 2% is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Thus that 1% of the world's water supply is a precious commodity necessary for our survival.” All humans on earth need water to survive. A human
Deception with Purpose: Pepsico's Water Claims in India Pepsico, claims that it has acheived "positive water balance" in India, that it is "Giving Back MORE WATER Than We Take". Although it sounds very good but Pepsico's claims of achieving "positive water balance" simply has many logical flaws which Pepsico probably thought will get unnoticed under thei marketing gimmick. Claims of "positive water balance" are business and reputational risk management maneuvers. There are several logical flaws
