New Meathod Of Farming

Though in this model we want to show that, how we can increase the production
of crops, on a small piece of land. It is probably the most effective way to increase
the production and money now days. As the population of India is increasing day
by day ,so the more population means more places to live and more places to live
means no place for agriculture. So it is better to use this system of crop
production, by this method the production on less land will increase to feed the
growing population. If we totally focus on this project it decreases the
unemployment rate . Its best point is that it can also be planted in the city. It is
also a great as well as a wonderful method for the rain water harvesting.

Rain Water Harvesting

What is Rain water harvesting?

The principle of collecting and using precipitation from a catchments surface. An


old technology is gaining popularity in a new way. Rain water harvesting is
enjoying a renaissance of sorts in the world, but it traces its history to biblical
times. Extensive rain water harvesting apparatus existed 4000 years ago in the
Palestine and Greece. In ancient Rome, residences were built with individual
cisterns and paved courtyards to capture rain water to augment water from city’s
aqueducts. As early as the third millennium BC, farming communities in
Baluchistan and Kutch impounded rain, water and used it for irrigation dams.

Why Rain water harvesting-


Rain water harvesting is essential because:-Surface water is inadequate to meet
our demand and we have to depend on ground water. Due to rapid urbanization,
infiltration of rain water into the sub-soil has decreased drastically and recharging
of ground water has diminished. As you read this guide, seriously consider
conserving water by harvesting and managing this natural resource by artificially
recharging the system. The examples covering several dozen installations
successfully operating in India constructed and maintained by CGWB, provide an
excellent snapshot of current systems.

More Rain water harvesting Techniques:


There are two main techniques of rain water harvestings.
        ← Storage of rainwater on surface for future use.
        ← Recharge to ground water.

Urbanisation effects on Ground water hydrology:


        ← Increase in water demand.
        ← More dependence on ground water use.
        ← Over exploitation of ground water.
        ← Increase in run-off, decline in well yields and fall in water levels.
        ← Reduction in open soil surface area.
        ← Reduction in infiltration.
n and deterioration in water quality.
