The report examines the effect of periodicity in the rainfall records on the water availability of Damanganga basin in Nasik and Thane districts of Maharashtra. Based on the rainfall-runoff record of a shorter period, runoff series for a longer period is developed using a water balance model. The per cent deviation in water availability estimations computed using short term wet and dry records from the complete records is examined. The effect of length of time-series on the water availability estimates is also studied.

Description: 

Water resources are under increasing pressure. Population growth, urbanization and a steep increase in water consumption for domestic uses, agriculture and industry has created a water crisis. Climate change is exacerbating the problems of water availability. This scenario leads to water scarcity and water-conflicts worldwide and seriously undermines progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

Hello Friends ! 

   This is my first post on the board. I compliment the portal team in compiling enormous resources on line .

This document by Reach Out Water Solutions (ROWS) highlights the daily reality of people living in the slums of Mumbai and the inadequate water supply available to the 10 million slum residents to meet their daily requirements.

It presents a business plan, namely the Slum Water Programme (SWP) that proposes a comprehensive, community driven, decentralised programme to meet the water needs of the slum community.

The programme proposes to do this in three ways:

• Firstly, by dealing with the problem of inadequate supply of water to the slum residents by the municipality, through increasing the availability of water
• By providing improved quality of water through utilising water purification techniques
• Improving access to water by making it available at the doorstep

This presentation describes the vision and strategy of PepsiCo, Roha, Maharashtra and its initiatives in the area of water conservation. The plant with three filling lines (bottling and canning) has tried to achieve positive water balance through water savings at plant level, water initiatives at community level and by promoting water conservation measures in agriculture.

This presentation describes the effort of Indo Rama, Butibori in carrying out production of polyester yarns, fiber and chips in an environmentally conscious manner and its work in conserving and harvesting water in its industrial processes and premises. In particular, it discusses the clean technologies used in production such as –

• Reduction in steam consumption at PSF Plant and in CP (through use of Zimmer technology-based glycol ejector)
• Reduction of drift losses in cooling towers by replacement of eliminators
• Conversion of condensate to flash steam and its reuse in boilers
