The rain in this state starts from the month of April and continues till October. The heavy rains during summers causes tremendous erosion making the buildings including schools vulnerable and in winters significant scarcity of water. Both this have odd impacts in the facilities and environment and risk to students. ]]> 2018-10-16 00:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293114282 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293116903 The state of Sikkim is situated on high Himalayan ranges associated with steep slope (> 15-20%). The slope causes high velocity of runoff and limited time for infiltration (soil moisture conservation). The students need to be told about how insitu conservation, erosion and impact of conservation on downstream infrastructure and environment]]> 2018-10-16 00:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293116903 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293118270 My plan is to conduct reconnaissance survey of the school campus. Give assignment to students to identify source of runoff. It may be roof tops or any other areas outside the school campus.The flow line taken up by the runoff. Explain the extent of deepening of flow lines. The areas that are mostly littered and identify reason for littering. What kind of litters are generally found in the schools may be listed. Classification in terms of degradable and non degradable. Over all draw a map of the school campus showing the areas. ]]> 2018-10-16 01:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293118270 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293207901 The students will be given the task to identify solutions. For example if the roof top is producing very high runoff how it should be channelize to reduce erosion. Whether pipes can be used to drain away the water safely. What are appropriate location of outlets. Planning plantation to secure soil.  Scope for storing water for the purpose of irrigation during non rainy season. Planning garbage disposal and utilizing waste to best. Planning small flower garden in school campus to improve the surroundings.]]> 2018-10-16 08:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293207901 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293209572 2018-10-16 08:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293209572 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293211434 The students enjoy when asked to give solutions and ideas]]> 2018-10-16 08:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293211434 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293212305 After attaining these activities, the students should be sensitized for impact studies that will strengthen their conviction for water conservation and also generate interest in obtaining solutions.]]> 2018-10-16 08:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293212305 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293227749 Growth of vegetation near treated sites]]> 2018-10-16 09:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293227749 kusrebharat https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293647891 2018-10-17 00:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kusrebharat/fni1xfa3s2n7/wish/293647891
