This document summarizes strategies for adapting agriculture to climate change in a tribal region of central India. It discusses how the region receives most of its annual rainfall concentrated within 50 days, creating water management challenges. The strategies discussed include comprehensive watershed treatment, participatory hydrological monitoring, aquifer mapping, developing climate-resilient agricultural practices, and building community institutions. These strategies aim to improve water harvesting and make more rainfall available for agriculture throughout the year.
More than an advisory committee: Engaging farmers in watershed improvement pr...Chad Ingels
For over a decade, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has worked with a number of watershed groups in northeast Iowa on issues directly related to improving water quality. Engaging residents from the start of each new project was a critical component to success. This performance-based, resident-led approach has roots in the Big Spring and Northeast Iowa Demonstration Projects of the 1990s, and was refined in a series of projects in subwatersheds of the Maquoketa River from 2000-09. With facilitation by ISU Extension, watershed councils were organized in the Maquoketa Headwaters and Mineral Creek watersheds, and later in Hewitt Creek, Coldwater-Palmer, Lime Creek, North Fork Maquoketa Headwaters and Dry Run Creek watersheds. In the most recent projects, watershed councils developed monitoring plans and their own performance incentives to promote and evaluate producer adoption of a group of management practices aimed at improving water quality. Participation in these watershed improvement projects has reached 50-75% of farm operators through this innovative resident-led approach to water quality improvement.

Over the last decade, demand for spring management has increased as traditional spring sources have started drying up or becoming contaminated. In response, communities, NGOs and state agencies began dedicated spring protection programmes. In the Himalayas, the State of Sikkim and organizations such as Central Himalayan Action and Research Group (CHIRAG) and People Science Institute (PSI) started identifying and protecting spring recharge areas around 2007. The difference between these programmes and many other previous efforts is that they went beyond supply-side improvements to focus on the use of hydrogeology to map springsheds for targeted interventions.
The Advanced Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (ACWADAM), a research and capacity-building organization comprised of hydrogeologists and other experts began lending their expertise and building capacity of stakeholders. ACWADAM provides technical support, training and materials in hydrogeology to all network partners as well as others in India and the region. Similar programmes began independently in most of the mountain regions of India. Arghyam, a funding organization that was supporting many of these programmes, noticed that these disparate initiatives shared commonalities despite geographic diversity. They thus organized and funded a meeting of these various organizations in June 2014, and the Springs Initiative was born.
The springs initiative aims to tackle the current water crisis and to ensure safe and sustainable access to water for all, by promoting responsible and appropriate management of aquifers, springsheds, and watersheds and conserving ecosystems in partnership with communities, governments and other stakeholders.
This presentation has been developed as a part of the springs initiative to promote an understanding of springs and their role in mountainous areas.

Multistoried /multitier cropping system: As the name indicates, under this system two or more crops of different heights are grown simultaneously on a certain piece of land in any certain period of time. Thus land, water, and space are utilized in most efficient and economic way. Multistoried/ multitier cropping system aims at better use of the production components such as soil, water, air, space, radiation and other inputs on sustainable basis (Singh et al., 2014).

The foundation of Nightingale’s theory is the environment- all the external conditions and forces that influence the life and development of an organism.
According to her, external influences and conditions can prevent, suppress, or contribute to disease or death.
Her goal was to help the patient retain his own vitality by meeting his basic needs through control of the environment.

Karnataka plans to ensure every rural household tap water connection by 2024. In 2021-22, the State plans to provide 25 lakh tap water connections in its rural areas.
Presently, Karnataka has 91.19 lakh rural households, out of which only 28.44 lakh (31.2%) have tap water supply. So far, 23 panchayats and 676 villages in the State have been declared ‘Har Ghar Jal’. 95% schools and 95% anganwadi centres, 84% ashramshalas, 91% gram panchayat buildings and 92% health centres have piped water connections in Karnataka. The State plans to cover the learning centres, GP building and Health centres in next few months. There is urgent need for grey water management and behaviour change among people so that water, which is a limited resource, is used judiciously. The state plans to cover 17,111 villages falling under the priority category i.e. drought prone and desert region, SC/ ST dominated habitations, Aspirational districts, etc. in the current financial year.
This document covers the IEC material being developed to build capacities on water source strengthening/ augmentation, water supply, greywater treatment & reuse, and operation & maintenance of in-village water supply systems, water quality monitoring and surveillance etc.
The state has to involve the local village community/ gram panchayats and or user groups in planning, implementation, management, operation and maintenance of water supply systems in villages to ensure long-term sustainability thereby help achieve drinking water security. It has started IEC campaign through community engagement in all villages.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

7. The critical problem is that the average 1000 mm of
rain we receive falls with great intensity within an
average of 50 days per annum
The challenge is to make this 50-
day water available over the year,
for at least 180 days.
How is one to do that?
