Keywords: Rich forest cover, Boon or bane for the state
Abstract: These states, for long have been complaining that having a rich forest cover has deprived them of 'developmental ' opportunities and drastically reduced their 'revenue' sources. Since majority of the land is under forest, there hardly is any land left to carry'developmental' projects. They argue that the environmental laws do not differentiate between them and the states that are brown. To compensate this anomaly, they demand a 'green bonus' from the centre.

Abstract: "In 2012-13, only two farmers in my village applied chemical fertilizers for groundnut crop. Others applied only organic manures, such as vermicompost and Nadeep compost," "Palanaik shared. Sri Palanaik is a young farmer from Kariyammanapalya village, Pavagada taluka, Tumkur district, Karnataka. Out of 110 farmers in this village, only two have applied chemical fertilizers for the crops during 2012-13. He may not be aware of GHG emissions due to production and transportation of fertilizers but is aware of the damage caused by fertilizers to the soil.

Abstract: The energy situation in Europe has reached crucial moment and its energy infrastructure is in desperate need of renewal. It is known that Europe has high energy requirements, but it has not yet attained energy self-sufficiency. While European liberal leaning leadership encourages the use of renewable energy-at precisely that time that its economics make such investments difficult-it is overshadowed by the decisions of a sometimes aggressive and unpredictable Russian foreign policy that uses energy supply as a weapon.

Abstract: Spotted Lake is a saline endorheic alkali lake located in north-west of Osoyoos in British Columbia, Canada. The incredible spots visible on the surface of the lake are a rare phenomenon caused due to the high concentration of numerous different minerals such as magnesium sulphate, calcium, and sodium sulphates, among others. These spots form in the summer season when much of the water evaporates, leaving the minerals, which harden and form walkways among the spots.

Keywords: Smart, Water, Present Day, Need
Abstract: In the present day, urban water supply and sanitation infrastructure is an important and critical area. Water resources are depleting, but cities are expanding with an ever-increasing population, creating tremendous pressure on the existing water infrastructure. For our cities to be sustainable with respect to water, efficient water and wastewater infrastructure, energy to transport and manage water, or smart water management (SWM) system as a whole will be required.
Water infrastructure are frequently neglected, yet are basic parts of energy management in urban areas, regularly involving 50 percent of an urban aggregate energy spent. Energy is the biggest manageable expense in water/wastewater processes, yet enhancing wastewater treatment plants and dissemination system has frequently been marginalized as a source of authorizing operating cost by financially destitute municipalities. Timely decisions by authorities for operation could result in 30 percent less consumption of energy and reduction of water losses by 15 per cent. There is a need to develop a system that keeps in mind the smart water concept and be able to continuously monitor water flow and distribution in city water infrastructure. Besides, this system should be accurate and efficient to aid analysis forecasting and consumption of water, respectively.

Abstract: We can readily see some of this knowledge. To employ labels, whose origin is western, these streams of knowledge and practice are called traditional knowledge, intangible cultural heritage, indigenous wisdom, folk traditions, or indigenous and local knowledge. These labels help serve as gateways to understand ideas, ‘development’ and ‘sustainable’. It is well that these labels do good for today, more conspicuously than 20 years earlier. However, there is concern for declining biodiversity, about the pace and direction of global environmental change, a concern over the unsustainable human impact on the biosphere, and the diminishing community identity.

Abstract: The invention of agriculture some 10, 000 years ago brought with it a quantum leap in human thought. It freed the population from subsistence activities and allowed individuals to specialize in particular tasks. It formed the basis for specialized division of labour and the development of organizations. The most important role in this equation was that of granary. The ability to stock food, and delink supply and demand led to an agricultural revolution and gave birth to civilization. Similarly, the need to store energy efficiently is no less than the need to store food and knowledge. The prosperity of a country is measured not only by its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but also by its per capita energy consumption. For humans to achieve the zenith of development and advancement, while simultaneously preserving the environment for future generations, it is quintessential to connect renewable power production with advanced energy storage systems.

Abstract: Air pollution’s link to breathing related diseases, including acute respiratory infections and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases is well established. There is also a strong link between people’s exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular diseases, such as strokes, heart diseases, and cancer. More common temporary ailments such a headache, skin rashes, and coughs can also significantly impact people’s well-being. Reducing air pollution and people’s exposure to it could save thousands of lives in India alone.

Abstract: Commissioning tests and periodic on-site maintenance checks are essential for the safe and outage free operation of power transformers routine electric tests and advanced diagnostic techniques in accordance with the IEC 60060-3, IEC 60076, IEEE Std.C57.12.00. IEEE Std.C57.152 2013, and GOST 11677-85 standards can be performed with a dedicated test system. These tests are also valuable in troubleshooting in case of an outage. Deterioration of electrical insulation can be identified with the high voltage insulation tests (insulation resistance, dissipation factor and capacitance measurement, dielectric frequency response). Mechanical damage due the transport or the effect of faults, multifunctions and winding shorts are typically found using frequency response analysis, winding resistance measurement and onload tap changer tests. Confirmation of ratio, vector group, no-load and short-circuit losses is desirable after repairs to ensure that these have been carried out to a high standard. Oil samples are routinely taken for breakdown tests and gas analysis.

Abstract: Electricity is the most versatile and widely used form of energy. The global demand for electricity is continuously growing. OF the total generation worldwide, more than 60 per cent of energy is generated using coal-fired station resulting in carbon dioxide emission threatening the global warming. To mitigate the consequence of climate change, generation systems need to undergo significant changes.
