Developing Ground water level in Banda By Dr. Heera Lal
The document discusses water management initiatives in Banda district, India. Most water sources were neglected, leading to dropping groundwater levels (1). The "Bhujal Badhao", "Peyjal Bachao Abhiyaan", and "Kuwa Taalab Jiao Abhiyaan" campaigns successfully induced behavioral changes among locals through community meetings, education and participation in conservation efforts like constructing contour trenches and rehabilitating ponds (2). These campaigns transformed the water crisis into a people's movement and helped achieve conservation objectives through collaborative multi-stakeholder efforts (3).
Success stories
1) Akhaya Singh, a farmer from Raghudeipur village, saw poor flower production in his cucumber crop. Krishi Vigyan Kendra scientists recommended spraying Agripro, a foliar spray containing micronutrients, to improve flower and fruit production.
2) After applying Agripro, Akhaya's cucumber production increased, providing a net profit of Rs. 36,960 from 1 acre.
3) Dushasana Mallick of Koro village grows paddy straw and oyster mushrooms with technical support from KVK. He earns about Rs. 95,000 per year through mushroom cultivation with a benefit-cost ratio of 2.43.
Nabapallav,nuapada
The organization constructed a DBI project in 2012 in Bhainsadani village to provide irrigation for 166 acres and drinking water to 65 households. A total of Rs. 8.66 lakhs was spent on the project. They trained 200 farmers on improved agriculture techniques and supplied seeds and support to 35 farmers. They formed producers' groups in 250 villages and a farmers' organization called Krushak Sakti Sangathana to advocate for farmers' issues. Moving forward, they plan to promote SRI and pulses cultivation methods, encourage vegetable farming, and strengthen existing groups and the agriculture support center.
Fresh water forever
The document outlines 6 steps to resolve global fresh water issues:
1. Stop polluting existing fresh water and properly dispose of or recycle industrial waste water.
2. Build more fresh water storage repositories like dams, wells, and systems to collect rainwater.
3. Create oases in deserts and arid zones using salt water to establish new water cycles and habitats.
4. Preserve existing natural water sources like rivers, lakes, and oceans and not use them for waste dumping.
Water for women final
This document describes a model for providing safe drinking water, water for domestic use, and supporting nutritional security for women. The key aspects of the model are:
1) Borewells are dug and solar-powered submersible pumps are installed to supply water for domestic use and commercial vegetable cultivation using micro-irrigation systems.
2) Water tanks are also installed to supply water for domestic use.
3) This model provides many benefits including reduced drudgery for women, access to nutritional foods, increased family income, and improved health outcomes.
4) The model has been implemented in 14 villages across 2 blocks in Odisha, India, benefiting over 500 households.
disposal of waste
The presentation discusses disposal of rural domestic waste in India. It notes that solid waste management has become necessary in rural areas to meet cleanliness goals. The document recommends that villages establish organized collection and disposal of household garbage to maintain clean streets and public health while being socially and technically appropriate. Without an effective system, it is unfair to fault households for improper waste handling.

The document discusses a project conducted by Sankar Reddiyar Hr.Sec.School in Nanguneri to promote kitchen gardening practices and reduce kitchen waste. It notes that most town households did not practice kitchen gardening due to lack of space. The project created awareness about kitchen gardening, promoted hydroponics techniques, and distributed seeds. As a result, 189 households started kitchen gardens using their kitchen waste water, reducing liquid waste in drains and improving community health.
90% village houses to get safe drinking water
The Indian government has a strategic plan to provide piped clean drinking water to 90% of rural households by 2022. At a recent India Water Week event, the country's president said the government is working to ensure safe drinking water reaches every rural home. Currently, 80% of India's water is used for agriculture and only 15% for industry. As demand increases in coming years, efficient water management strategies will be needed for rural and urban areas. Around 40 billion liters of wastewater is produced daily in cities, so technologies to decrease toxicity and enable reuse for irrigation are necessary.
Rnba
The document describes a project to improve food security for small and marginal farmers in Manipur, India through diversion-based irrigation supported by the Jamsetji Tata Trust. It discusses how diversion-based irrigation is well-suited for the region given its rainfall, topography, and dependence on natural resource-based livelihoods. The project established water user groups, introduced cash crops, conserved the environment, and increased stable paddy production in 11 villages across 7 districts benefiting over 1,400 households and 5,400 people through irrigation, drinking water access, reducing slash-and-burn farming, and livelihood activities.
Use Waste
This document proposes a campaign called "Use Waste" to address waste management in India by implementing biodigesters. Biodigesters convert organic waste into biogas and biosolids. Biogas can be used as fuel and biosolids as fertilizer. The campaign would repurpose existing outreach teams to educate communities on building and using biodigesters. It aims to incentivize proper waste management through economic and social benefits while avoiding public shaming approaches.
Management of Water for Sustainable Development
Every nation on this planet earth depends fully on their natural resources for their social and economic growth and development Those nations who have plenty of such natural resources, their social and economical development is rapid and those who have limited natural resources their development seem to be slow. These natural resources includes land, forests, air, solar light, minerals and other sources of energy water is the most important resource among these. Dr. Keshubhai R. Odedra ""Management of Water for Sustainable Development"" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-3 , April 2019, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd23540.pdf

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
