Presented by Brehanie Endrie, Petra Schmitter, Amare Haileslassie, Yigzaw Desalegn, Amenti Chali, Seifu Tilahun and Jennie Barron at the Workshop and Exhibition on Promoting Productivity and Market Access Technologies and Approaches to Improve Farm Income and Livelihoods in Ethiopia: Lessons from Action Research Projects, ILRI, Addis Ababa, 8-9 December 2016
Irrigation involves supplying water to plants through artificial means to supplement rainfall and soil moisture. There are several methods of irrigation used in Bangladesh depending on soil, topography, water availability, and crop type. The main methods described include flood, check basin, border strip, furrow, and basin irrigation. Drainage is the artificial removal of excess water from crop fields and is important to improve soil structure and productivity by preventing waterlogging. The hydrologic cycle describes the natural circulation of water on Earth through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and both surface water and groundwater flow. Proper soil structure and texture are also important for irrigation and drainage as they determine water and air flow in the soil.
The document discusses water conservation and rainwater harvesting. It defines water conservation as reducing water usage and recycling wastewater. Rainwater harvesting is defined as collecting runoff, usually from roofs or surfaces, for productive uses. The benefits of rainwater harvesting include supplemental water sources, increased soil moisture, higher groundwater levels, and flood mitigation. Common systems include in-situ, micro-catchment, macro-catchment, and floodwater harvesting.
The document discusses strategies for increasing agricultural production in Africa through better management of rainwater. It outlines that small-scale rainwater harvesting techniques like conservation agriculture, runoff farming, and microcatchments can improve water supply for smallholder farmers. These techniques help reduce evaporation and runoff, retaining more water in the soil to boost crop yields. Examples from Niger demonstrate that rainwater management projects can scale up food production while rehabilitating lands and benefitting many rural communities.
Up scaling of water productivity in agriculture using water saving techniques Deepak Gaikwad
This document summarizes research on improving water productivity in agriculture through water saving techniques. It discusses declining global freshwater resources and increasing water scarcity. It then covers the concept of water productivity, defined as the return per unit of water used. Key principles for improving water productivity include enhancing crop yields for each unit of water used, reducing non-beneficial water losses, and making effective use of rainfall and marginal water sources. Tables from studies show the effects of irrigation techniques, mulching, and deficit irrigation on crop yields and water use efficiency in crops like groundnut and maize.
Productivity of Field Crops Under Micro Irrigation.pptxPRAMODKUMAR965700
The document discusses micro-irrigation techniques like drip and sprinkler irrigation and their advantages over conventional flood irrigation. It notes that micro-irrigation can save up to 50% of irrigation water used for crops like rice, wheat and maize while improving crop productivity and fertilizer use efficiency. The conclusions recommend micro-irrigation as a potential water and nutrient-saving option in India. Future work should focus on developing low-cost systems, optimizing nutrient and irrigation interactions, and raising awareness among farmers.
This document provides information on precision irrigation management. It discusses key statistics on global irrigated area by region. 20% of the world's croplands are irrigated and produce 40% of global harvest, as irrigation multiplies crop yields. India has 60 million hectares under irrigation, with micro irrigation (drip and sprinkler irrigation) covering 4.94 million hectares or 8.1% of the total irrigated area. The document discusses various precision irrigation techniques like drip, sprinkler, micro sprinkler and subsurface drip irrigation and their advantages over conventional flooding. It provides details on the status of micro irrigation in different countries and Indian states. The document emphasizes the need for precision irrigation scheduling using soil
The document discusses efficient water management strategies for sufficient crop production. It notes that water is a scarce resource that must be used properly, efficiently, economically and sustainably. It highlights that irrigation uses the majority of fresh water globally and that water availability is declining in India. Various strategies are presented to improve water use efficiency in agriculture, such as laser land leveling, alternate furrow irrigation, and raising crops in sunken beds with fish and vegetables to maximize productivity from available water. The overall message is that efficient irrigation management is critical to ensure sufficient food production with limited water resources.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
