Green or Green Desserts ?
Abstract: Human started agriculture around 9500 BC. Since then many agricultural techniques were adoptedand abandoned. Today’s agricultural technique is completely different from when it was started orsome hundreds of years ago. Even though agriculture practices are dangerous for environment. Sinceancient time, forests were cut down to cultivate, and now extreme use of land for agriculture made itlose its fertility, and causing land go barren. Here, in this paper, we have discussed …

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 …

Study of Groundwater and Surface Water Remediation
Abstract: Groundwater remediation is the process of treating contaminated groundwater by removing contaminants or converting them to harmless chemicals. Water that saturates the pore space in the subsurface and is located beneath the ground surface is known as groundwater. Between 25% and 40% of the world's drinking water comes from boreholes and dug wells. Farmers need groundwater to irrigate crops, while industry use it to make everyday items. Even though most …
