Where did they start water conservation in tamil nadu . short answer

Chemistry

OleMash [197]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Elemental iodine (I 2) is a solid at room temperature. What is the major attractive force that exists among different I 2 molecu
Ulleksa [173]

Explanation:

As I_{2} is a covalent compound because it is made up by the combination of two non-metal atoms. Atomic number of an iodine atom is 53 and it contains 7 valence electrons as it belongs to group 17 of the periodic table.

Therefore, sharing of electrons will take place when two iodine atoms chemically combine with each other leading to the formation of a covalent bonding.

Hence, weak forces like london dispersion forces will be present between a molecule of I_{2}.

The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.

thus, we can conclude that london dispersion force is the major attractive force that exists among different I_{2} molecules in the solid.

A solution contains the ions Ag , Pb2 , and Ni2 . Dilute solutions of NaCl, Na2SO4, and Na2S are available to separate the posit
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The solutions should be added in this order NaCl > Na2SO4 > Na2S

Explanation:

Silver is insoluble as a chloride, so the silver ions get precipitated on addition of chloride ion as silver chloride.  This means Ag+ would be removed the first.

So we will add NaCl in the first step.

The following reaction will occur.

Ag+ + Cl- → AgCl(s)

Both, Pb2 and Ni are soluble as chlorides. (lead chloride is soluble as a hot solution but will ppt when colder).

When we add Na2SO4, Pb2+ will get precipitated (because it's insoluble) as PbSO4 and Ni will remain soluble as NiSO4 is soluble in water.

The reaction that will occur is:

Pb^2+ + SO4^2- → PbSO4(s)

Nickel is insoluble as a sulfide. So when we will add Na2S, nickel will be precipitated as sulfide and be able to separate and be collected.

The solutions should be added in this order NaCl > Na2SO4 > Na2S
