About "Rain Water Harvesting in Residential Layouts" topic:
It is common nowadays that every one voilates building bylaws while building houses in layouts. In most private layouts developed for low and middle income groups, no space is left for essential common facilities like parks, schools, play grounds, water supply system, water bodies etc. Roads and drainage systems are built in such a way that the rain water is trained go in to sea ultimately. Every one tries to dig bore well in their plot. There is no space around borewells to rechage them through rain water harvesting system.
It is highly desirable to have a comprehensive Plan for rain water harvesting and maintain water table in residential areas. Building bylaws should be ammended to incosider a proper water balance. If the water table is very low then FSI allowed should be reduced. Individually owned / provate bore wells should not be permitted in residential areas. All existing bore wells and water bodies should be declared as oublic properties and should be maintained collectively by the Association of residents. Rain water should be stored / used for recharging existing bore wells and water bodies.

Frankly. If someone puts a large pouch of hot sand and runs sea water through it, it becomes drinkable. And I'm sure we have adequate water resources for as long a time as we could think. now lets add the questions. what happens to the levels of...

It is true that the Govt failed to provide sufficient housing and water supply to the growing population. But as responsible citizens, we also need to address the population growth. If not even if the Govt is efficient, it can't solve.

In the yester years, you would find a huge pond in every village, in addition to wells in each and every house. Water in pond is a perennial source for the households. If the pond is dried up, the entire wells in and around the village also face...

In today's news, I came across this article that scientists at Sandia National Labs who were seeking a means to create cheap and abundant hydrogen to power a hydrogen economy, realized they could use the same technology to "reverse-combust" CO2 back into fuel. They still have to improve the efficiency of the system, but they recently demonstrated a working prototype of their "Sunshine to Petrol" converting waste CO2 to carbon monoxide, and then syngas, consuming nothing but solar energy. The device, boasting the simple title Counter-Rotating-Ring Receiver Reactor Recuperator (CR5) sets off a thermo-chemical reaction by exposing an iron-rich composite to concentrated solar heat. The composite sheds an oxygen molecule when heated and gets one back as it cools, and therein lies the fuel. The cylindrical metal CR5 is divided into hot and cold chambers. Solar energy heats the hot chamber to a scorching 2,700 degrees, which forces the iron oxide composite to lose oxygen atoms. The...
