Rainwater harvesting is a water storage technique in which on-ground or under-ground tanks are used to store rainwater. You can use this water for regular activities like car washing or watering the garden etc.
Water conservation is important for two main reasons: sustainability and energy conservation. Withdrawal of fresh water from ecosystems should not exceed natural replacement rates to ensure availability for future generations. Minimizing water use also helps conserve energy by reducing the need for pumping, delivery, and waste water treatment which require significant energy. While the water cycle naturally cleans and recycles water, human usage exceeds replenishment rates, depleting fresh water supplies as seen in India. Water conservation techniques like fixing leaks, running full loads of dishes and laundry, and limiting shower time can help solve this problem.

It defines water and its properties, then discusses the importance of water conservation to protect this critical resource and meet human demand. Various techniques for conserving water are outlined, such as reducing water waste, harvesting rainwater, and using more efficient devices. The goals of water conservation include ensuring availability for future generations, conserving energy, and preserving habitats. In conclusion, any reduction in water loss and improvement in management practices can beneficially conserve this vital resource.
Wasting water has become an environmental problem for both consumers and industries. Water conservation refers to reducing water usage and recycling wastewater for purposes like cleaning, manufacturing, and agriculture. At home, individuals can conserve water by shortening showers, fixing leaks, turning off faucets while brushing teeth. In industries, food processors can reuse rinse water and modify processes to use less water, while hotels can install low-flow fixtures and aerators to reduce water use in guest rooms.
Outdoor water use accounts for a large portion of summer water consumption. Planting native drought-tolerant plants that don't require summer watering can reduce water use. For those with lawns, reducing size, allowing browning in summer, and proper watering techniques like watering in the evening can help conserve water. Car washing at commercial facilities that recycle water is better than using a hose. Indoor water use can also be reduced through low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, front-loading washing machines, and low-flow toilets. Food production, especially beef, requires enormous water use, as do many purchased goods like cotton clothing and electronics.

RAIN WATER HARVESTING presentation .pptxRishi Nath
Rainwater harvesting is the collection and storage of rainwater from rooftops, land surfaces, and catchments. It helps recharge groundwater, and the water can be used for gardening, drinking, and irrigation. There are two main methods of rainwater harvesting - surface runoff collection and rooftop collection. A rooftop rainwater harvesting system has four main components - a catchment/roof area to collect water, pipes to transport the water, a storage tank, and a delivery system to distribute the water. Examples of places using rainwater harvesting include Tamil Nadu where it is required for buildings, and traditionally in parts of Rajasthan.
Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater runoff for reuse on-site rather than allowing it to flow off. It involves collecting rainwater from rooftops using simple techniques like jars and pots or more complex systems like underground check dams. The collected water can be used for recharging groundwater, gardening, drinking, and irrigation. There are two main methods of rainwater harvesting - surface runoff harvesting from urban areas and rooftop harvesting where the roof acts as a catchment to collect rainwater into a storage system through pipes. Proper filtration is important to remove contaminants before using the stored water.

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
ESA/ACT Science Coffee: Diego Blas - Gravitational wave detection with orbita...Advanced-Concepts-Team
Presentation in the Science Coffee of the Advanced Concepts Team of the European Space Agency on the 07.06.2024.
Speaker: Diego Blas (IFAE/ICREA)
Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

2. What is Rainwater Harvesting
In simple words, rainwater harvesting is
collecting and storing rainwater. You can use
a simple on-ground tank or underground
water storage tank for storage purpose.
Rainwater can be used for different daily
activities at home.
3. Rainwater can be used for:
* Watering the garden
* Car washing
* Clothes washing machines
4. On-Ground Water Storage
For On-Ground water storage, you can simply
put a tank under a downspout. Make sure to
use filters to get rid of leaves etc.
5. Under-Ground Water Storage
This storage is same as on-ground system, the
single difference is the tank under the ground.
You have to use a pump to use water on the
ground.
