The list of water harvesting techniques in Figure 3 is far from complete. You will probably come across different traditional and/or non-traditional techniques. Water harvesting systems can be grouped into two categories: Systems in which the bunds follow the contour line are called contour systems. Systems in which bunds do not follow the contour line, but enclose a part of the slope are called freestanding systems. Water harvesting systems for trees usually have an

a photo oxidation system for waste treatment in Singapore. Our site in Cork, Ireland, where we are now bio-treating waste and recovering the energy produced, achieved zero waste to landfill for the third year running in 2013, and has cut water use by 57% and carbon emissions by 41% since 2008. in the world). This innovative process will significantly cut our carbon emissions by reducing cooling requirements, as well as producing less organic waste. Many of the improvements we

and animals living in water. Disposal or recycling of discarded engine oil into water bodies can severely interrupt water ecology. Firstly, since the hydrocarbons in oil decompose micro-biologically, their presence in water helps in the growth of micro-organisms which results in depleting the oxygen supply to aquatic life. Oxygen depletion process on the other hand results in creating hindrance in reproduction and growth of water organisms. Secondly, disposal of DEO in water bodies result in forming
