Post-independent India witnessed intensive industrialisation and urbanisation, creating vast opportunities for us. Today, large industrial houses are as commonplace as the industrial units of many MNCs(Multinational Corporations). The ever- increasing number of industries has made matters worse by exerting pressure on existing freshwater resources. Industries, apart from being heavy users of water, also require power to run them. Much of this energy comes from hydroelectric power.
The setup of bamboo irrigation system are: • Bamboo pipes are used to divert perennial springs on the hilltops to the lower reaches by gravity. • The channel sections, made of bamboo, divert water to the plant site where it is distributed into branches, again made and laid out with different forms oRead more

• The channel sections, made of bamboo, divert water to the plant site where it is distributed into branches, again made and laid out with different forms of bamboo pipes. The flow of water into the pipes is controlled by manipulating the pipe positions.
• If the pipes pass a road, they are taken high above the land.
• Reduced channel sections and diversion units are used at the last stage of water application. The last channel section enables water to be dropped near the roots of the plant.

Nearly 200 households have installed this system and the village has earned the rare distinction of being rich in rainwater. harvesting system which is adapted here. Gendathur receives an annual precipitation of1,000 mm, and with 80 per cent of collection efficiency and of about 10 fillings, every house can collect and use about 50,000 litres of water annually. From the 200 houses, the net amount of rainwater harvested annually amounts to1,00,000 litres.
Rooftop harvesting was common across the towns and villages of the Thar.

Rooftop harvesting was common across the towns and villages of the Thar. Rainwater that falls on the sloping roofs of houses is taken through a pipe into an underground tanka (circular holes in the ground). built in the main house or in the courtyard. water being taken from a neighbour’s roof through a long pipe.
The rainwater can be stored in the tankas till the next rainfall making it an extremely reliable source of drinking water when all other sources are dried up, particularly in the summers. Rainwater, or palar pani, as commonly referred to in these parts, is considered the purest form of natural waterRead more

Many houses constructed underground rooms adjoining the ‘tanka’ to beat the summer heat as it would keep the room cool.
