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

Chemistry
1 answer:
OleMash [197]2 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.

Small children are occasionally injured when they try to inhale helium from
sattari [20]

Answer:

260 moles of Helium

Explanation:

V = 50L

T = 20°C = (20 + 273.15)K = 293.15K

P = 125 atm

R = 0.082 L.atm / mol. K

n = ?

From ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of a given gas

V = volume it occupies

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT

n = (125 * 50) / (0.082 * 293.15)

n = 6250 / 24.0383

n = 260.00 moles

The child inhaled 260 moles of Helium

How can you find the number of neutrons that are in an atom of an element
Temka [501]

Answer:

You just have to take the periodic table of the elements, take the element that interests you. Then, you look at the formula of the element, at the top left you find the number of neutrons and protons and at the bottom left you find the number of protons. Then you just have to make the number from the top left minus the number from the bottom left.

Margarita [4]
Answer a:
<span>A 1.5 V battery, the electromagnet picked up an average of 6 paper clips, while with the 6.0 V battery, an average of 23 paper clips were picked up. Battery of 6.0V is 6.0/1.5 = 4 times stronger than battery of 1.5 V

Answer b: 
</span><span>Ratio of the number of paper clips picked up using the 6.0 V battery to the number picked up using the 1.5 V battery is = 23/6 = 3.8 </span>≈ 4. 

Answer c:
As the voltage power increase, more paper clips were picked up by electromagnet. This indicated that there is a direct relationship. Mathematically it can be expressed as: 

           Voltage Power α Number of paper clips that were picked up
