A Review on Nano Filtration System
Abstract: In the later half of the 1980s, nanofiltration (NF) became a significant development in the purification of water. When NF was first introduced, it was marketed as a less energy-intensive substitute for traditional techniques like reverse osmosis (RO). However, as its special qualities and uses became clear, NF was acknowledged as a separate technology in 1988. Comprehending the differences between ultrafiltration (UF), RO, and NF is essential to appreciating its …

Harvesting and Managing Rainwater
Abstract: Rainfall harvesting, or RWH, is the practice of gathering and holding onto rainfall rather than allowing it to run off. This water is typically gathered from surfaces like rooftops and redirected into tanks, cisterns, wells, aquifers, or reservoirs that allow it to percolate and replenish groundwater. Additionally, dew and fog can be captured using nets or similar devices. Unlike stormwater harvesting, which collects runoff from various surfaces, RWH focuses on …
