Water harvesting methods of Karnataka

Ferro-cement Tanks:This is a low cost alternative for expensive water harvesting containers made of masonry, plastic and RCC. It has proved highly effective in high rainfall regions where large amounts of water need to be stored in clean form. These tanks require materials like sand, cement, mild steel bar and galvanised iron wire mesh, and can be easily constructed by semi skilled labourers. It’s light in weight and can be moulded into any shape required.

Rainwater Syringe Tank: In this method rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in a pressure tank on the ground and with the PVC pipes water is lowered below sea level. The water is retained in the underground water column which is then harvested during summer by a simple piston pump or motor by constructing a tube well in the vicinity.

Initial investments in technological advancements in Karnataka.

Even before India's independence, Karnataka, specifically Bangalore became a city of choice to locate the Indian airforce base and other public sector
institutions. This in turn promoted the establishment of a number of universities, institutions and colleges providing engineering and scientific training.
After gaining independence, the government invested into large public sector units like Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT), Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL),
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, HAL and Indian Telephone Industries. Several other defines and infrastructure industries also came up in Bangalore. A few private sector undertaking were also given licenses.
The existence of educated workforce attracted even more investments.

My research on : Advancements in agriculture

Research content: Agriculture contributes significantly to Uttarakhand's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) (11 per cent in 2011-12). It is the primary source of income for more than 70% of the population. Due to increased demand, Uttarakhand has sought to enhance agricultural techniques in order to increase supply. They are experimenting with four hydroponic farms to promote aqua farming with the support of Israel. Hydroponic farming is an Israeli agricultural method that relies entirely on circulating water to deliver all of the macro and micronutrients that plants require. It has the potential to assist hill farmers in achieving higher yields, both in terms of quantity and quality. Farmers take up vertical planting with water storage facilities at the bottom of every step with land holdings in hilly places and hydroponic growing.

roads in Uttarakhand are using the following new technology

Cold mix - high-tech but effective solution for road construction and maintenance of roads, it is a 2cm carpeting over the road (above given picture)

RBI: modifies the soil properties to reduce bitumen and aggregate needs, this is a green technology

CRMB - crumb rubber modified bitumen is recycled tyres being used to build roads, this is expensive and unpreferred

Railways technological advancements

Solar panels are used in multiple stations and bridge crossing

7 stations in Uttarakhand now have free wifi

Digitalized transactions

Many projects like escalators, lifts, lounges and other amenities have been taken up by the stations.

The community, which has been living
in the Himalayan and sub-Himalayan region
for centuries, and dependent on its forests and FP (forest products), is the Bhotia/Bhotiya tribe. The Bhotia, like most forest dwellers, depend on their surrounding forests to fulfil several of
their daily requirements, such as that of timber and bamboo for construction of houses, fuel wood, fodder, gum, resins; and for honey, wild fruits, spices and most importantly, medicinal plants. Bhotia have taken to various occupations – ranging from agriculture to cottage industry and government jobs or contracts

In Uttarakhand, the Bhotia primarily reside in the districts of Pithoragarh, Chamoli, Almorah, Uttarkashi and Nainital.

he Bhotia tribe has been known
for their seasonal migration, that is transhumance involving upward or northward migration along with their animals during the summers (around the end of March and first week of April) and downward or southward migration during winters (around the end of September and first week of October).Now, a lesser
number of young Bhotia migrate to the high
altitude, mainly owing to insufficient education facilities in the summer villages
