An Overview on Rain Water Harvesting
Abstract: Abstract: Rainwater harvesting, the limited collection and storage of overflow for flooded agriculture, is recognized as a sustainable strategy for ensuring food security, especially in monsoonal landscapes in the developing world. In south India, these stratagems have been used for millennia to mitigate problems of water scarcity. However, in the past 100 years many traditional rainwater harvesting systems have tumbled into shabbiness due to increasing requirement on groundwater. With raised …

The Financial Implication of Weather Condition as a Determinant of On-Site Productivity and Contract Duration
Abstract: The effects of weather conditions on construction projects is an identifiable one as inclement weather can cause a lot of upset in works being executed, particularly in substructure and the wet trades such as concrete works. A cold dry weather harsh weather as in the case of the harmattan period causes drying out before concrete sets. Wet weather such as those experienced during the rainy seasons, which in the Niger …

Evaluation of Improved Sorghum Varieties (Sorghum Bicolor L. Moench) for GrainYield at Midland Areas of Derashe and Gerese Districts, South Ethiopia
Abstract: One of the main elements restricting a variety's ability to respond in a breeding program is the environment. This is why, in 2021 and 2022 at Derashe and in 2022 at Gerese, five improved sorghum varieties and one standard check were assessed to find more productive midland sorghum types. A randomized complete block with three replications was used in the experiment. Significant differences between treatments of the investigated variables were …

Use of GIS for Determining Water Logging in An Area and Proposing Solution to Eliminate the Problem
Abstract: Urban run-off increments essentially because of expanded impenetrable region and decreased drainage network. Assessment of land use in urban area assumes a fundamental part as input to the estimation of runoff. The hydrological plan standard for water resources planning and management is usually founded on the frequency of occurrence of heavy rainfall events. In the area of Kalyan-Vithalwadi (Maharashtra, India) the life and properties are under the threat of flooding …

Experimental Investigation on Performance of Solar Air Heaters With Thermal Storage
Abstract: Solar air heaters are used for applications at low and moderate temperatures such as; crop drying, timber seasoning, and space heating. The present research focused on a forced convection flat plate solar air heater with heat storage system under the climatic conditions of India – Mangalore for hot summer days of April 2015. In this work, attempt has been made to draw a comparison between the collector efficiencies for flat …

Residue Management and Preceding Winter Crops on Root Characteristics, Weed Dynamics, Productivity, Nutrient Uptake and Profitability of Green Gram under Zero–till Semi-arid Condition
Abstract: Field experiments under zero-till rainfed conditions were conducted during 2010–11 and 2011–12 at New Delhi for evaluating the agronomic performance and economics of green gram influenced by residue management practices, viz. no-residue, crop residues and Leucaena twigs applied to three preceding winter-season crops, such as wheat, chickpea and mustard. All crops were grown under zero-tillage following recommended practices under rainfed conditions. Green gram showed higher root length density (RLD), root …

Urbanization as a Catalyst for Climate Change in Dehradun
Abstract: These days Climate change considered a major issue among scientists, researchers, planners, politicians. Concerning every climatic component, temperature considers its dynamic effect in identifying climatic variations originate around due to urbanization. Consequently, given paper tries to examine the temperature fluctuations of district Dehradun, by examining year wise time slot details minimum, maximum along with mean temperature from 1967 to 2007. Analysis details have been examined in tri fragments by operating …
