1. Seed germination requires optimal conditions, including water to activate enzymes, oxygen for respiration, and suitable temperatures for growth. Some seeds also need light or darkness, depending on the species, to trigger the process of sprouting and development. For more visit here: https://www.tiwRead more

  2. The walls of stepwells, often lined with stone, help prevent water seepage and erosion, ensuring that water collected during monsoon seasons is retained. Their stepped structure slows down evaporation, allows access to deeper groundwater, and supports water conservation for year-round use. For moreRead more

  3. Bawadi and Vav are traditional stepwells found in India, designed for water harvesting. Their deep, stepped structures collect and store rainwater, making it accessible during dry periods. They prevent water evaporation, recharge groundwater, and support irrigation and drinking water needs. For moreRead more

  5. Rainwater harvesting conserves water by collecting and storing rain for later use, reducing dependence on groundwater and other sources. It minimizes surface runoff, prevents water wastage, replenishes groundwater levels, and provides a sustainable water supply during dry periods. For more visit herRead more
