Dry_Farming

Dry Farming: A Regenerative Path Through El Niño A New Era of Climate-Resilient Agriculture El Niño is reshaping climate in certain key areas of agriculture lands all over the World with delayed monsoons, prolonged dry spells, and rising temperatures.   WARNING SIGNS As groundwater levels fall and irrigation becomes unreliable, farmers need a system that works with drought-not against it.

It is one of the most powerful tools for India’s climate future. Why Dry F arming Matters During El Niño El Niño disrupts India’s rainfall patterns, causing: ·        Delayed monsoons ·        Long dry periods ·        Higher heat stress ·        Reduced groundwater recharge ·     ...

ZoomVin - Creating Environmental Niche and Photography

Recently we created ZoomVin website: What we do in this site is - we create environmental awareness. How do we do that - We create a real world environmental niche for birds and butterflies by planting trees and flowering plants. Also by properly placing bird feeders and baths we attract birds.

Education, Graduation, Future, Contribute

Last week I attended a graduation ceremony in one of the big University (UCF).  It was lovely atmosphere. Diversified youngsters who worked hard for  their degrees lined up in their graduating gowns, caps with tassels and hoods.  It was wonderful and powerful atmosphere with their parents, friends and families cheering them.  Education is not easy, especially getting one from traditional universities. Price is high, hard work  needs to be put in, to reap the benefits. It was the time for these young students to start reaping the benefits of their education.  They had their master's and  bachelor's degrees and could see the ultimate happiness when they had their degree.  I wish them all the best success in real World. Graduation Ceremony I remember the time, when I graduated 20 years back. It was a PhD in Environmental Sciences .   With my Ph.D guide Dr. Gupta I was trying to get into teaching research career an...

Outdoor Indoor Environmental Mishaps, Positive future planning

Outdoor Indoor Environmental Mishaps indicating further Disasters - needs immediate positive actions    Was sad hearing and reading these news:        1) Outdoor Environmental Issue - 20 People killed during deforestation activities - in India        2) Indoor Environmental Issue - 8 family members killed by Carbon monoxide poisoning - in US. It is an Environmental problem, social problem and you can categorize it any way, however the deaths are the one that causes severe pain in minds. Outdoor - One main reason for deforestation killing is Greed. Red sanders is a tree which is an economic commodity for tree smugglers because of its value in other countries. So they greedily hired bunch of poor tree cutters to cut those trees illegitimately. While cutting the police killed those 20 poor people. Deforestation of this Red Sanders led to killing of 20 poor wood cutters  due to the greed of tree smugglers It is t...

Good Luck, Peace, Positives, Move Forward

What is greed? What is war? What is killing? What is racism? What is caste? - All humans don't know what these questions are and what these words mean. People are living in harmony, People are into growing good food, benefit each other and are upbringing the entire Earth community - these questions and above sentences sounds like  April fool messages . But inside every human there would be a desire to live like this - peacefully, without war, without killing each other and treating everyone as same and in friendly manner. Whatever you do in young age is going to come back when you are old. Wisdom catches up on - when one becomes old. Negative deeds that were once thought as heroic acts would be stupid when looked back after growing old and wise. You become close to God when you are old. Then the truth becomes clearer. It is been a while, I posted. My computer got corrupted by Key holder virus and was asked for a ransom, however as an IT-savvy person and ...

Everglades Alligator Importance

Protecting the Everglades: Beautiful Everglades - Coot Bay Question and Answer written by a 5th grader - Sharing her view on Importance of Alligator for survival of Everglades Question – What would happen if there were no alligators left in the Everglades? Answer: Snap! Snap! In the one and only Florida Everglades, the sharp sound of an alligator rapidly snapping up its caught prey, is relatively common. One is left to think of what would happen if the beautifully wild everglades lost all of its plentiful reptilian alligators. The answer to that question may just be determinable. First of all, without alligators, many vital habitats would not even exist. They create deep depressions that eventually fill to the brim with a mixture of salt and freshwater to form brackish water. The holes become residences for marine life such as young bonefish and shrimp. Also, there are abundant aquatic animals that are attracted to these holes during the dry season, which lasts fro...

An imagined  Bio Dome   They got involved immediately and asked lots of very intelligent questions. Each one them designed their own bio dome, More Bio Dome Satellite Designs It is all about Nature and Technology ...

Yes on 1 Florida - The Water and Land Conservation Amendment

Every time you visit a national park or even a national preserve, you have think of the greats such as John Muir, President Roosevelt and many other visionaries who had saved these lands for us. Every inch of these lands is beauty to watch. When you enter them, it is pristine, you breath the fresh air and have fun in the nature. I can't even think of disturbing these saved land. Now in Florida to save these Lands and Water - we have to vote Yes on 1 - The Water and Land Conservation Amendment.  Voting Yes on this Amendment 1 will give us opportunity to enjoy these preserved lands and water bodies. We should preserve these lands for the future generations to benefit, as we did. If we don't the future generations would have to see these lands only in pictures. I have traveled to different countries and as the years go by, there are only concrete jungles. Green forests, lands and water bodies are degraded everywhere. When you step out, you breathe dust and soot from t...
