scarcity in China. There are many different methods of improving the water distribution efficiency. Firstly, irrigation technologies should be improved. Farmers in China may use drip and shrink irrigation methods instead of traditional “surface” ones such as furrow and flood irrigation. Drip irrigation method is used mostly in arid and semi-arid zones and it increases the efficiency of irrigation by transporting the water directly to the roots of irrigated plant.

Similarly, irrigation systems are often de facto providing large amounts of water within their command areas that facilitate access to water for many other uses through recharge of surface streams and groundwater. Lastly aquatic systems (wetlands including rice-based systems) provide many critical productive and ecosystem services to nearby populations (World Water Council, 2009). A recent analysis of large irrigation systems has shown that the vast majority (more than 90%) of irrigation schemes

Nature has endowed India with huge water resources. We have perennial rivers like Ganga, Brahmaputra, Yamuna, Beas and others along with their tributaries and distributaries besides in North and Eastern India, we have spring fed and rain fed rivers in central and peninsular India-the major among these being- Godavari, Krishna, Narmada, Tapti and Kaveri. These huge potential water resources notwithstanding, we are facing a water crisis across the country. Over the years, rising population, growing

The medical assistant is usually directed to perform an ear irrigation on a patient who may have a buildup of cerumen (earwax) in the ear that cannot be removed with a cotton-tipped swab. The swab may push the cerumen deeper into the ear canal, which may become lodged and hardened and making it feel uncomfortable in the individual’s ear, which may also impair their hearing. The irrigation is performed to remove the excessive amount of earwax. Periodically it may be necessary for the medical assistant
