Water Conservation

Water conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes like cleaning , manufacturing , agriculture etc.

Water-saving technology includes:

• Rainwater harvesting
•Also lessening one's shower hours, the rainwater collected can be also used in flowering plants and trees.

Agriculture

We are actively involved in inculcating various water conservation methods in agriculture like:
• For crop irrigation, optimal water efficiency means minimizing losses due to evaporation or run off. An Evaporation pan can be used to determine how much water is required to irrigate the land.
• Flood irrigation, the oldest and most common type, is often very uneven in distribution, as parts of a field may receive excess water in order to deliver sufficient quantities to other parts.
• Overhead irrigation, using center-pivot or lateral-moving sprinklers, gives a much more equal and controlled distribution pattern, but in extremely dry conditions, much of the water may evaporate before it reaches the ground.
• Drip irrigation is the most expensive and least-used type, but offers the best results in delivering water to plant roots with minimal losses.
• As changing irrigation systems can be a costly undertaking, conservation efforts often concentrate on maximizing the efficiency of the existing system. This may include chiseling compacted soils, creating furrow dikes to prevent runoff, and using soil moisture and rainfall sensors to optimize irrigation schedules.
• Recharge pits, which capture rainwater and runoff and use it to recharge ground water supplies. This helps in the formation of ground water wells etc. and eventually reduces soil erosion caused due to running water.
