The document discusses a water design plan for Dwarka, Delhi that analyzes current water issues and proposes strategies to improve surface water management through creating retention ponds and wetlands, harvesting rainwater, recharging groundwater, and implementing systems to treat and reuse greywater and blackwater to reduce potable water usage and reliance on external water sources. Diagrams show proposed systems for collection, treatment and reuse of different water streams to achieve a sustainable water balance and management approach for the area.
The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BCE to 146 BCE. Carthage was a powerful Phoenician colony located in North Africa that had a large commercial empire throughout the Mediterranean. The First Punic War was fought over control of Sicily and resulted in a Roman victory. The Second Punic War saw Hannibal lead Carthaginian forces through Spain and over the Alps into Italy, though he was eventually defeated at the Battle of Zama. In the Third Punic War, Rome destroyed Carthage completely, leaving Rome as the dominant power in the Mediterranean. The defeat of Carthage allowed Rome to more easily conquer the rest of the region.

The three Punic Wars were a series of conflicts between Rome and Carthage from 265 BC to 146 BC. The First Punic War was sparked by conflicts over territory in Sicily and ended with Carthage giving up its lands. The Second Punic War began when Hannibal invaded Italy over a territorial dispute in Spain. Hannibal inflicted major defeats on Rome but was eventually recalled to defend Carthage after Scipio took the war to Africa. The final Battle of Zama resulted in a Roman victory. The Third Punic War ended with the complete destruction of Carthage by Scipio Aemilianus in 146 BC on the orders of the Roman Senate, despite his desire to spare the city.
