Natural resources management in dryland agriculture and importance of water m...Rajeev Tiwari
This PPT aims to provide the information about management of natural resources in dryland agriculture and the importance of water management in crop production.
Natural resources are naturally occurring substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form.
Any part of our natural materials that can be utilized to promote welfare, may be regarded as natural resources.
The management of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations.
MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR NATURAL RESOURCES:
1. Field survey will enable us to know the kind and amount of available natural resources. For this purpose, GIS, GPS and remote sensing could be used.
2. The available resources should be conserved and utilized efficiently.
3. Technologies used to conserve and utilize natural resources should be eco-friendly, environmentally sound and economically viable.
4. Rainwater harvesting for replenishing groundwater and renovating the traditional sources of rainwater storage.
NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN DRYLAND:
1. sustainable water management: In-situ moisture conservation, Rainwater harvesting.
2. Sustainable soil management: Erosion control, desertification control, soil health maintenance, alternate use of different land.
3. Watershed management
4. Sustainable crop management: Cropping system, nutrient management, irrigation management, weed management.
5. Livestock management
6. Sustainable use of dryland biodiversity: Grassland improvement and management, Dryland trees and management, plants of medicinal and industrial values.
Sustainable Land Management in Practice 23.01.2023.pdfDr. P.B.Dharmasena
Sustainable Land Management is defined as the use of land resources, including soils, water, animals, and plants, for the production of goods to meet changing human needs, while simultaneously ensuring the long-term productive potential of these resources and the maintenance of their environmental functions.
Development of wasteland under social forestry programmejaimangal tirkey
Development of Wasteland under Social Forestry Programme
The problem of wasteland has become a serious issue and it has increased with the development of technology for increasing the agricultural production (Swaminathan, 1997). The natural disturbances including the man-made problems, i.e. industrialization and urbanization, contribute to increasing trend of wastelands in various ways. The requirement by the increasing human population and cattle population and also the natural disasters cause the loss of natural resources and land degradation (Hegde, 1993).According to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO, 1992), the various forms of land degradation such as soil erosion, chemical poisoning, stalinization and loss through building or mining is of 5 to 7 million hectares from good cultivable lands
Wasteland
Wastelands include degraded forests, overgrazed pastures, drought-struck pastures, eroded valleys, hilly slopes, waterlogged marshy lands, barren land etc.
Types of Wastelands:
(a) Cultivable Wastelands
(b) Uncultivable Wastelands

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

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. WHAT IS LANDSCAPING?
Landscaping refers to any activity
that modifies the visible features
of an area of land, including:
Living elements- Flora and fauna
Natural elements- Landforms,
terrains, water bodies
Human elements- Structures,
buildings, fences, etc.
Abstract elements- Lighting,
weather, etc.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
3. THREATS TO LANDSCAPE…
Accelerated climatic changes has magnifying impacts on water
and land resources, agricultural and biological diversities.
Unprecedented scale, pace and complexity of resource
management challenges-
• Habitat loss, fragmentation, degradation
• Invasive species
• Contaminants
• Hydrological impacts
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
4. WHAT IS CONSERVATION LANDSCAPING?
Working with nature to reduce pollution, conservation landscaping
incorporates environmentally sensitive design, low impact
development, non-invasive native and beneficial plants, and
integrated pest management to create diverse landscapes that help
protect clean air and water, support wildlife, and provide a healthier
and more beautiful human environment.
Conservation landscaping supports clean air and water by:
• Using plants that are adapted to local conditions and thus require
less fertilizer and pesticides
• Trapping localized storm water on site with rain barrels and rain
gardens to ensure slow percolation and increased filtration of
nutrients entering the groundwater.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
5. • Reducing the amount of smog released into the air and the amount
of atmospheric deposition of nutrients into our water by reducing
the amount of movable lawn area
Conservation landscaping supports wildlife by:
• Providing a diverse plant environment that attracts greater animal
diversity and fosters healthier ecological communities
• Creating migratory corridors of conjoined healthy ecological
communities.
Conservation landscaping supports a healthier and more
beautiful human environment by:
• Reducing the amount of pollution entering the environment.
• Demonstrating the beauty of well-maintained, natural landscaping.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
6. THE EIGHT ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS…
A conservation landscape:
1. Is designed to benefit the environment and function efficiently and
aesthetically for human use and well-being .
2. Uses locally native plants that are appropriate for site conditions.
3. Institutes a management plan for the removal of existing invasive
plants and the prevention of future nonnative plant invasions.
4. Provides habitat for wildlife.
5. Promotes healthy air quality and minimizes air pollution.
6. Conserves and cleans water.
7. Promotes healthy soils.
8. Is managed to conserve energy, reduce waste, and eliminate or
minimize the use of pesticides and fertilizers.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
7. METHODS TO CONSERVE LANDSCAPE…
SOIL CONSERVATION IS A SET OF MANAGEMENT STRATERGIES FOR
PREVENTION OF SOIL BEING ERODED FROM THE EARTH’S SURFACE OR
BECOMING CHEMICALLY ALTERED BY OVERUSE , ACIDIFICATION,
SALINIZATION, SOIL EROSION OR OTHER SOIL CONTAMINATION TO
RETAIN THE FERTILITY OF SOIL.
SOIL CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES:
TERRACE FARMING
BROAD FLAT STEPS OR TERRACES ARE MADE ON THE STEEP SLOPES SO
THE FLAT SURFACES ARE AVAILABLE TO GROW CROPS.THEY REDUCE
SURFACE RUN OFF AND SOIL EROSION.
THIS METHOD OF FARMING USES “STEPS”, CALLED ANDENE. ON EACH
ANDEN, VARIOUS CROPS ARE PLANTED, AND WHEN IT RAINS, INSTEAD OF
WASHING AWAY ALL OF THE NUTRIENT IN THE SOIL, THE NUTRIENTS
ARE CARRIED DOWN TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
8. INTER CROPPING
DIFFERENT CROPS ARE GROWN IN ALTERNATE
ROWS AND ARE SOWN AT DIFFERENT TIMES TO
PROTECT THE SOIL FROM RAIN WASH.
PLOUGHING PARALLEL TO THE COUNTOURS OF A
HILL SLOPE TO FORM A NATURAL BARRIER FOR
WATER TO FLOW DOWN THE SLOPE.
CONTOUR FARMING IS THE FARMING PRACTICE OF
PLOUGHING ACROSS A SLOPE FOLLOWING ITS
ELEVATION CONTOUR LINES.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
Terrace farming
Inter cropping
9. CROP ROTATION
CROP ROTATION IS THE PRACTICE OF GROWING A
SERIES OF DISSIMILAR TYPES OF CROPS IN THE
SAME AREA IN SEQUENTIAL SEASONS.
A TRADITIONAL ELEMENT OF CROP ROTATION IS
THE REPLENISHMENT OF NITROGEN THROUGH THE
USE OF GREEN MANURE IN SEQUENCE WITH
CEREALS AND OTHER CROPS.
SHELTER BELT
IN COASTAL AND DRY REGIONS,ROWS OF TREE
ARE PLANTED TO CHECK THE WIND MOVEMENT TO
PROTECT SOIL COVER. SHELTER BELT IS A
PLANTATION USUALLY MADE UP OF ONE OR MORE
ROWS OF TREES OR SHRUBS PLANTED IN A
MANNER SO AS TO PROVIDE SHELTER FROM THE
WIND AND TO PROTECT SOIL FROM EROSION.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY

Shelter belt
10. MULCHING
THE BARE GROUND BETWEEN PLANTS IS COVERED WITH A LAYER OF
ORGANIC MATTER LIKE STRAW.IT HELPS TO RETAIN SOIL MOISTURE.
MULCHING OF SOIL WITH AVAILABLE PLANT RESIDUES REDUCE SOIL LOSS
CONSIDERABLY BY PROTECTING THE SOIL FROM DIRECT IMPACT OF
RAINDROP AND REDUCING THE SEDIMENT CARRIED WITH RUN OFF.
CONTOUR BARRIER
STONES, GRASS, SOIL ARE USED TO BUILD
BARRIERS ALONG CONTOURS.TRENCHES ARE
MADE IN FRONT OF THE BARRIERS TO
COLLECT WATER.
ROCK DAM
ROCKS ARE PILED UP TO SLOW DOWN THE
FLOW OF WATER. THIS PREVENTS GULLIES
AND FURTHER SOIL LOSS.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
Rock Dam Mulching
11. WATER CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES:
RAIN WATER HARVESTING
A SYSTEM WHICH COLLECTS RAIN WATER
FROM THE ROOF OF A BUILDING AND
STORES IT FOR REUSE.
WATER COLLECTED IS THEN STORE IN A
TANK , BEFORE BEING PUMPED AROUND THE
BUILDING,AS AND WHEN REQUIRED.
GREY WATER RECYCLING
ANY WATER THAT HAS BEEN USED IN A
BUILDING EXCEPT WATER FROM TOILETS, IS
CALLED GREY WATER.
THIS MAY BE REUSED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ,
ESPECIALLY LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION.

13. CASE STUDY…
MANHATTAN BEACH STRAND - Ocean Friendly Garden Principles
Ocean Friendly Gardens apply CPR: Conservation, Permeability, and
Retention to revive our watersheds and oceans.
Conservation of water, energy, and habitat through climate-adapted
plants, spaced for mature growth.
Permeability through healthy, biologically active soil, and utilizing
materials for, or making a cut in, driveways, walkways, and patios that
allow water to percolate into the soil.
Retention devices like rain chains, rain barrels, and rain gardens retain
water in the soil for the dry seasons or save it to water vegetables,
preventing it from running off the property.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
14. Elements of this garden design include:
• Climate appropriate plants: Plant palette to be exclusively
California Native plants. Plants will provide food and habitat for
native butterflies, birds, and bees.
• Site Grading and Infiltration Areas: The soil of the site is to be
graded into subtle mounds and depressions, evocative of waves,
with massing of plants following the contour and accentuating
the grading. This manipulation of the ground plane allows for
rainwater to infiltrate locally, for use by plant root systems, as
well as percolate into the groundwater in the infiltration areas.
No surface runoff is to be directed to impermeable surfaces or
piped unfiltered into the ocean.
LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY
15. • Wood Mulch: Install 3”-4” shredded bark mulch for water
conservation.
• Healthy Soil: Biological testing and compost tea application for
living soil.
• Boulders and Gravel: Local boulders, if possible.
• Recycled Broken Concrete: To be obtained locally, if possible,
for use in retaining soil around infiltration areas.
• Drip Irrigation: For application directly to each plant, reducing
evaporation and overspray.
• Smart Controller: Determines ET rate and adjusts irrigation
volume and frequency accordingly.
