Explanation:
The 2019 water crisis in Chennai has made us realize the importance of saving water more than ever. Water, as we all know, is a finite resource without which our planet would be a barren wasteland. Today with our increasing population it would be logical to say that our water consumption has also increased. And with increasing demand and lesser supply, water scarcity arises. Our ancestors who had foreseen the potential dangers of water scarcity had developed methods to conserve water that was suited for the varied terrain of the Tamil-speaking kingdoms.
Traditional Rainwater Conservation methods of Tamil Nadu
Eri
There are no perennial rivers in Tamil Nadu except the Thamirabharani River which flows through Thirunelveli district. And so, several hundred years ago a simple system was devised to utilize the rainwater to the fullest. An Eri or tank system is one of the oldest forms of water conservation systems in India. Many Eris are still in use in Tamil Nadu and play an active role in irrigation. They act as water reservoirs and flood control systems. They prevent soil erosion, recharge groundwater, and prevent wastage of runoff water during heavy rainfall.
Kudimaramathu
Kudimaramathu is one of the old traditional practice of stakeholders participating in the maintenance and management of irrigation systems. During earlier days, citizens of a village used to actively participate in maintaining the water bodies of their village by deepening and widening the lakes and ponds and restoring the water bodies back to their original form. The silt, rich in nutrients, collected in the process would be used by the farmers themselves in their field. A sense of collective ownership ensured the continued survival of the water bodies.

Answer and Explanation:
Calorie is the unit of heat energy . There are 2 units with the same name 'calorie' which is widely used.
'The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by mass by 
or 1 K is known as small calorie or gram calorie'.
Another one is large calorie which can be defined as :
'The amount of heat energy required to make arise in temperature of water 1 kg by mass by or 1 K is known as large calorie or kilcalorie and is represented as Cal or kcal'.
After the adoption of SI system, thee units of the metric system cal, C or kilocal are considered deprecated or obsolete with the SI unit for heat energy as 'joule or J'
1 cal = 4.184 J
1C or 1 kilocal = 4184 J
Calorimeter constant:
Calorimeter constant, represented as '
' is used to quantify the heat capacity or the amount of heat of a calorimeter.
It can be calculated by ther given formula:
where,
= corresponding temperature change
= enthalpy change
Its unit is J/K or J/1^{\circ}C[/tex] which can be convertyed to cal/1^{\circ}C[/tex] by dividing the calorimeter constant by 4.184 or 4184 accordingly.
