The issue of supplying adequate water to meet societal needs is one of the most urgent and significant challenges faced by decision-makers.
Rainwater harvesting is an excellent means of supplementing water for both potable and non-potable purposes.
Rainwater harvesting describes processes in which precipitation that falls on a site is diverted, captured, and stored for use on-site, as opposed to allowing it to run off, evaporate, or infiltrate into the soil.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Background
In Theme 3, new items (also essential items) are included:
• Item 0302: Area of land actually irrigated: fully controlled and partially
controlled irrigation
• Item 0309: Area equipped for irrigation in working order: fully and
partially controlled irrigation
Theme 3 has only one frame item: use of irrigation on the holding: fully
controlled and partially controlled irrigation.
The theme comprises 10 items, all of them at holding level.
3
4. Importance of the Theme
Data about irrigation cross tabulated with land use are
important for analysis of farm management and
agricultural practices.
It is important to better understand cropping practices and
the constraints in improving agricultural productivity;
Irrigation has important consequences in environmental
aspects of the agricultural production referred to for
example: source, type and quality of water; drainage and
use of wastewater.
Irrigation has also important financial aspects: payment
for irrigation, investments needs, etc.
4
5. Concept of irrigation
Irrigation refers to purposely providing land with water,
other than rain, for improving pastures or crop
production.
Irrigation usually implies the existence of infrastructure
and equipment such as: irrigation canals, pumps,
sprinklers or localized watering systems.
However, it also includes manual watering of plants.
Uncontrolled land flooding by overflowing of rivers or
streams is NOT considered irrigation.

Theme 3: Irrigation comprises the following items:
0301: Use of irrigation on the holding: fully
and partially controlled irrigation;
0302: Area of land actually irrigated: fully
and partially controlled irrigation;
0303: Area of land actually irrigated
according to land use types: fully and
partially controlled irrigation (for the
holding);
0304: Area of land actually irrigated
according to method of irrigation: fully and
partially controlled irrigation (for the
holding);
0305: Area of crops actually irrigated for
each crop type: fully and partially
controlled irrigation (for the holding);

fully and partially controlled irrigation (for
the holding);
0308: Use of other types of irrigation:
partially controlled irrigation (for the
holding);
0309: Area equipped for irrigation in
working order: fully and partially
controlled irrigation;
0310: Presence of drainage equipment
(for the holding)
• 1506: Rice cultivation: irrigation and water
regimes (explained in Theme 15)
7. Item 0301: Use of irrigation on the
holding: fully and partially controlled
irrigation
Type: frame item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Precision: this item is recommended for inclusion in the
core module when a modular approach is used, to
provide a sampling frame for related surveys.
7
8. Item 0302: Area of land actually irrigated:
fully and partially controlled irrigation
Type: essential item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Concept: this item refers to the physical area of land
irrigated, not the total area of crops irrigated. Therefore,
if the same area is cropped, irrigated and harvested
twice a year, it should be counted once.
8
9. Item 0303: Area of land actually irrigated according to
land use type: fully and partially controlled irrigation
(for the holding)
Type: additional item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Concept: as in the previous case, this item refers to the physical area of
land irrigated, not the total area of crops irrigated. Thus, the land irrigated
for successive crops in different seasons within the reference year is only
counted once.
Land use categories:
• Land under permanent crops
• Land under temporary crops:
o Single-irrigated crop;
o Multiple-irrigated crops.
• Land under temporary meadows and pastures
• Land under permanent meadows and pastures
9
10. Item 0304: Area of land actually irrigated according
to method of irrigation: fully controlled irrigation (for
the holding)
Type: additional item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Concept: this item includes only areas of land irrigated by methods
of fully controlled irrigation.
Methods:
• Surface irrigation
• Sprinklers
• Localized irrigation
The definition and images of each method are given in the following
slides.
10
11. Methods of irrigation
Surface irrigation:
System for partially or completely covering land with
water for the purpose of irrigation. They include several
types including furrow, border strip and basin irrigation.
11
Basin irrigation Furrow Irrigation
12. Methods of irrigation (contd.)
Sprinklers: Sprinkler irrigation refers to pipes networks
through which water moves under pressure before being
delivered to the crop via sprinkler nozzles.
12
13. Methods of irrigation (contd.)
Localized irrigation: It is a system whereby water is
distributed under low pressure through a piped network,
in a pre-determined pattern and applied as a small
discharge to each plant.
13
14. Item 0305: Area of crops actually irrigated
for each crop type: fully controlled irrigation
(for the holding)
Type: additional item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Concept: This item includes only areas of land irrigated by
methods of fully controlled irrigation. It refers to the area of crops
irrigated, as opposed to the area of land irrigated of previous
items.
Precision: For temporary crops, this item refers to that portion of
the harvested area irrigated at some time during the reference
year. For permanent crops, it refers to that portion of the area
with permanent crops present of the day of enumeration that was
irrigated at some time during the reference year.
14
15. Item 0306: Sources of irrigation water: fully
controlled irrigation (for the holding)
Type: additional item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Concept: This item includes only areas of land irrigated by methods of fully
controlled irrigation. It refers to whether irrigation water used on the holding was
obtained from one or several of the following sources:
15
•Surface water (e.g. streams, rivers,
ponds, lakes, etc.)
•Groundwater: water stored
underground in aquifers, usually
pumped from wells
•Mixed surface water and
groundwater
•Municipal water supply: source of water
accessible to at least two holdings
withdrawn from the public piped
distribution network
•Treated wastewater: water without
further immediate value for the purpose
to which it was used or produced
because of its quality
• Other
16. Item 0307: Payment terms of irrigation water:
fully and partially controlled irrigation (for the
holding)
Type: additional item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Concept: This item refers to whether payment was made for the irrigation
water used in the holding. It encompasses the following categories:
Did not pay for water
Paid for water:
• Fee based on area of land irrigated
• Fee based on volume of water
• Other (e.g. both, based on area an volume)
16
17. Item 0308: Use of other types of irrigation:
partially controlled irrigation (for the holding)
Type: additional item.
Reference period: Data on
partially controlled irrigation are
normally collected for the census
reference year, but data may be
distorted by unusual weather
conditions.
Concept: Partially controlled
irrigation activity covers the
following specific methods:
17
Equipped wetland and inland valley bottoms:
lowland areas subject to seasonal flooding that are
used when covered with water. When control
structures such as canals are constructed it falls in
the partially controlled category
Equipped flood recession: it refers to areas along
the edges of rivers or other water bodies where
cultivation occurs making use of water from
receding floods. Structures may be built to retain
receding water in which case it falls in the partially
controlled category
Spate irrigation: it is a method of random irrigation using
the floodwaters of a normally dry watercourse or riverbed
(wadi). There are two types of spate irrigation: a)
floodwater is harvested in streambeds and spread
through the wadi in which the crops are planted; b)
floodwater is diverted from seasonal rivers into adjacent
embanked fields for direct application
18. Item 0309: Area equipped for irrigation in
working order: fully and partially controlled
irrigation
Type: additional item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Concept: This item refers to the existence of infrastructure and
equipment for applying water to crops, which is in working order.
Precision 1: Manual watering of plants using buckets, watering cans,
etc. is not covered by this item.
Precision 2: The equipment does not have to be used during the
reference year. The item only refers to the existence in using
conditions.
18
19. Item 0310: Presence of drainage equipment
(for the holding)
Type: additional item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Concept: Drainage means the artificial removal of the excess of
water (both surface or groundwater) from the land surface by means
of surface or subsurface conduits, to enhance agricultural production.
Presence of drainage equipment means that the equipment is present
on holding on the census reference day.
Precision: Management of water for flood recession cropping (item
0308) is considered partially controlled irrigation, not drainage.
19
20. Country experiences
Bangladesh: Agricultural Census 2008
Section 4 of the questionnaire applied to sampled holdings is devoted to irrigation,
use of fertilizers and pesticides.
As far as irrigation is concerned it took information on:
• Irrigated temporary crops
• Irrigated permanent crops.
In both cases the following information was reported:
20
Area
Type of irrigation equipment:
• Deep tube well by electricity;
• Deep tube well by diesel;
• Shallow tube well by electricity;
• Shallow tube well by diesel;
• Hand tube well;
• Other (non-mechanical).
Items 0301, 0302, 0303, 0307 and 0309 are applicable to both fully and partially controlled irrigation; Items 0304, 0305, 0306 are relevant to fully controlled irrigation methods and Item 0308 to partially controlled irrigation methods.
8.3.4 Items 0301 to 0308 refer to the actual use of irrigation, not to whether the holding is equipped for irrigation.
Manual irrigation using buckets or watering cans is also included.
The use of water from water harvesting facilities, such as roof water harvesting, is included if the water supply is reliable. Surface irrigation does NOT refer to the method of transporting the water from the source up to the field, which may be done by gravity or by pumping.
Border strip, otherwise known as border check or bay irrigation could be considered as a hybrid of level basin and furrow irrigation. The field is divided into a number of bays or strips, each bay is separated by raised earth check banks (borders).
This item refers to the area of crops irrigated, as opposed to the area of land irrigated given in Items 0302, 0303 and 0304 (see paragraph 8.3.9). For example, a plot of 0.4 ha with crops irrigated in two seasons within the reference year is recorded as 0.4 ha of land irrigated in Item 0302 and 0.8 ha of crops irrigated in this item. Analysis of the crop area irrigated in relation to the land irrigated provides information on cropping intensity under irrigation.
Floating rice is included as a flood recession crop.
Unlike Item 0302, which refers to the area actually irrigated, this item refers only to whether the holding is equipped for irrigation and the equipment is in good working order on the census reference day. The equipment does not have to be used during the reference year .
Drainage does not include natural drainage of excess water into lakes, swamps and rivers.
