झाडं लावा...भरपूर झाडं लावा ! (एकनाथ कुंभार) ज्यांना ज्यांना शक्‍य आहे , त्यांनी त्यांनी भरपूर झाडं लावायला हवीत. आपण जितकी जास्त झाडं लावू , तितकी ती कमीच ठरतील! पर्यावरणाच्या रक्षणासाठी , वायुप्रदूषण रोखण्यासाठी , आयुर्वेदिक औषधांच्या निर्मितीसाठी , पाऊसमान वाढवण्यासाठी ‘ झाडं लावणं ’ याला पर्याय नाही. आजच्या (पाच जून) जागतिक पर्यावरण दिनानिमित्त झाडांची महती सांगणारा हा लेख. - एकनाथ कुंभार रविवार , 5 जून 2016 - 01:15 AM IST http://www.esakal.com/Tiny.aspx?K=Y8FZEP वृक्षतोडीनं ढग गेले...ढगाविना पाऊस गेला...पावसाविना समृद्धी गेली... इतके अनर्थ वृक्षतोडीनं केले! दुष्काळ , पाणीटंचाई याची झळ आबालवृद्धांपासून सगळ्यांनाच जाणवत आहे. झाडं लावणं , झाडं जगवणं याला कोणताही पर्याय नाही , याची जाणीव जवळपास प्रत्येकालाच आता होऊ लागली आहे ; पण या जाणिवेला प्रत्यक्ष कृतीची आणि इच्छाशक्तीची जोड हवी. या वर्षी पाऊस भरपूर होणार , असं भाकीत वेधशाळेनं वर्तवलं आहे. यंदाच्या पावसाळ्यात प्रत्येक घटकानं वृक्षलागवडीसाठी पेटून उठलं पाहिजे! १९९६ मध्ये राज्य शासनानं अधिसूचना काढली होती , की प्रत्...

The Forest Man Of India
In 1979, Payeng, then 16, encountered a large number of reptiles that had died after floods washed them onto the tree-less sandbar. [7] He started working on the forest in 1980 when the social forestry division of Golaghat district launched a scheme of tree plantation on 200 hectares at Aruna Chapori situated at a distance of 5 km from Kokilamukh in Jorhat district . Molai was one of the labourers who worked in that project which was completed after five years. He chose to stay back after the completion of the project even after other workers left. He not only looked after the plants, but continued to plant more trees on his own, in an effort to transform the area into a forest. The forest, which came to be known as Molai forest, now houses Bengal tigers , Indian rhinoceros , over 100 deer and rabbits besides apes and several varieties of birds, including a large number of vultures. [6] There are several thousand trees, including va...
Drip irrigation was invented in Israel in 1959 as a way of using more efficiently the scarce resource. Since then, Israeli farmers have refined and automated the process, linking data on temperature, radiation, humidity and soil-water content to not only control where water is released, but when, and how much is needed to meet a plant’s need for transpiration.
जागृत, प्रगत इस्राईल
राजू इनामदार , रविवार २९ मे २०११ rajuinamdar30@yahoo.co.in इस्राईल म्हटले की आपल्याला प्रथम आठवते ती त्यांची जगप्रसिद्ध गुप्तहेर संघटना, मोसाद! मग त्यांची लष्करी सज्जता, प्रत्येक नागरिकाला असलेली लष्करी प्रशिक्षणाची सक्ती, दुसऱ्या महायुद्धात ज्यूंचा छळ करणाऱ्या जर्मनीतील लष्करी अधिकाऱ्यांना युद्धानंतर जगभरातून शोधून काढून आंतरराष्ट्रीय न्यायालयासमोर आणण्याची इस्राईलची विजिगीषू वृत्ती.. बहुतेकांच्या सांगण्यात इस्राईल म्हणजे असाच युद्धाशी किंवा त्यासंबंधीच्या विविध कथांशी जोडला गेलेला देश असतो! मात्र या सगळ्याच्या पलीकडेही त्या देशात आणखी काहीतरी आहे. त्यांच्या वाणिज्य मंत्रालयाने इस्राईलची राजधानी तेल अवीव येथे आयोजित केलेल्या आंतरराष्ट्रीय पत्रकार परिषदेनिमित्ताने हे ‘आणखी काहीतरी’ काय आहे ते दिसले. इस्राईल काय आहे ते या पाच दिवसांच्या दौऱ्यात फार खोलात जाऊन शोधता नाही आले, तरी वरवर का होईना, पाहता आले. प्रत्येक इस्राइलीने त्याचे वैयक्तिक आयुष्य आपल्या देशाबरोबर जोडले आहे. इस्राईलच्या सगळ्या प्रगतीचे रहस्य त्यात आहे, असे या काही दिवसांच्या भेटीतही अगदी स्पष्टपणे जाणवले. इस्राईलच्या ...
Rain water harvesting
What is rain water harvesting : It is to catch rain water and to use it to recharge ground water or to store it for future use. Why Rain Water need to be harvest ? We are using Surface water and ground water for domestic use but surface water is not sufficient and recovery of ground water are not sufficient to meet our demand – result, ground water level goes down and gives birth of water crisis. To come out from this situation, we need to recharge ground water artificially .”Due to rapid urbanization, open soil area are decreasing and so, infiltration of rain water into the sub-soil has decreased drastically and recharging of ground water has diminished “ So, it becomes all individuals responsibility to do the most for rain water harvesting and Govt. , NGO's should come out for taking the responsibility for implementation it in macro and micro level. ( All Govt. and pvt. Offices, buildings , industries, individuals ) How Shall We harvest : We can harvest in two ways : 1. St...
Subsurface drip irrigation for tree plantations & Water Smart Pot.......
Subsurface drip irrigation for tree plantations & Water Smart Pot....... It is an accepted fact, that drip irrigation leads to water saving, but even in drip, there is wastage of water, because the water is given on the surface of the soil, so that a large part of it is lost due to surface evaporation. There is also weed growth on the surface wetted by the water. In the new method, a plastic tube is let into the ground to a depth of about 50 cm and the microtubule of the drip system is let into this tube, so that the water is given at a depth of 50 cm. Because the soil surface does not get wet, there is no loss of water due to direct evaporation from the soil surface and there is also no weed growth. Doubling or sometimes even quadrupling of the growth rate was observed in trees watered in this way in comparison to those receiving the same quantity of water by the conventional drip irrigation system.
