Rajasthan is facing crises of water due to less rainfall every year. It is required to develop systems for collecting the rainwater from existing structures for fulfills water demand throughout the year. In this project, a rainwater harvesting system has been made for Techno India NJR campus through visual inspection, total station, theodolite, and GIS survey. Visual inspection has been done. Rainwater can be harvested through roofs of the academic block, workshop, hostel building, and I3 lab of the college. Some more area which is occupied by tiles and road was also considered for rainwater harvesting. The total built-up area for collecting rainwater is 9138.824 m2. Average rainfall in Udaipur is 689 mm/year and 6296.138 m3 volume of water can be saving through recharge in bore well. Two points have been selected based on the survey of the campus.","PeriodicalId":14445,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Environmental Sciences","volume":"370 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80448187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present time remote sensing satellite data, geographical information system (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS) are widely used in mapping of land use and land cover. In the present study landuse and land cover change analysis of southeastern part of Panchkula city have been done using Google Earth satellite data of 2002 and 2018. Satellite data downloaded from Google Earth and geo-referenced in ArcGIS 10.4 software. Landuse and landcover classes had been interpreted and field visit was done at selected location to check the interpreted data. Final maps were prepared and area of landuse and land cover classes were calculated. The study shows that during the year 2002 to 2018 built-up land area increased 95.01Hect, agriculture land area increased 1.24Hect., river course area decreased 20.35 Hect., vacant land area decreased 119.43Hect., park area increased 14.64 Hect., open scrub area decreased 7.82 Hect., road area increased 7.21 Hect.,water body area increased 0.02 Hect. and forest area increased 30.48 Hect.

In the modern developmental activities, agricultural practices, industrial purposes and need of drinking water for increasing population resources of fresh water are depleting fast and creating crisis of water availability per capita. Haryana is an agricultural dominant state with requirement of water whole year for irrigation purpose. Besides agriculture demand water is also used in industrial purpose as well as increasing drinking water requirement for increasing population in the state. In the present study groundwater quality in Pehowa block which covers 548 sq. km. area in Kurukshetra district of Haryana state, India have been studied for drinking purpose. Nine groundwater samples were collected from different parts of the block in double capped plastic bottles. Groundwater samples were analyzed using field water testing kit prepared by Tamil nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board, Chennai for twelve chemical parameters-pH, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, total dissolved solids, fluoride, iron, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate and residual chlorine. Results of chemical analysis of groundwater samples shows that range of pH 7- 8, alkalinity 230-420 mg/l, hardness 100-280 mg/l, chloride 30-100 mg/l, total dissolved solids (TDS) 432-924 mg/l, fluoride 0.5 - 1.5 mg/l, iron nil in all groundwater samples, ammonia nil - 2 mg/l, nitrite 0.2- 0.5 mg/l, nitrate 45-75 mg/l, phosphate nil in all groundwater samples, and residual chlorine nil to 0.5 mg/l.

This paper includes all the major factors which increase flood level in Bihar such as heavy rainfall, a large number of rivers, topography of the area, sand mining, and silt accumulation. There are some factors which are directly responsible and others are indirectly responsible for flood hazard. Heavy rainfall and a large number of rivers are directly responsible factors. The capacity of rivers and reservoirs is reduced due to silt accumulation and deforestation upstream in Nepal is the reason behind silt accumulation in rivers and reservoirs through heavy rainfall. Watershed management is not very successful because most of the plain area. The hydrology of Bihar is also disturbed due to excess sand mining. The built-up area of the state is increasing and this is resulting in heavy surface runoff, because there is no open area to hold the water.
