A Case Study: Effect of industrial effluent contaminated water disposed in Chambal River on irrigative land
Abstract: As India is an agricultural growth based economy and it is of prime importance to have a view on effect of effluent waste water on irrigative land, its adverse and beneficial effect on soil fertility, seeds germination and crop yield. This study is to present scarcity of water in irrigation and reuse of industrial effluent from river cause accumulation of N, P, K, heavy metals (Na+, Ca++, Mg++, K+ and Fe), Chloride, Ammonia and Total Dissolved Solids. This caused a long term effect on soil fertility but along with it is also have some positive effect likewise contaminated river water contains high NPK in it, which meets the fertilizer needs.

The irrigation with this water affects the crop and there are some possible solutions of this problem associated with industrial effluent.
• Diluted textile effluent may be used for crops without affecting soil quality.
• Application of ventury setup in drip or spray irrigation where zeolite/ kaolin filters can be added to reduce the heavy metal availability to soil.
• The concerning government bodies has to spread awareness and represent a modal to use bio-fertilizer, which boost the yield potentials as well as decreases the metal availability to plants.
• Cultivating horticulture plants like sevanthi, marigold, isabgol and guar gum help in improving soil quality.
• Fruit plants and trees like Orange, Jack Fruit, Jujube Fruit, Guava and Pomegranate should be cultivated because it gives long term productivity and regular crops can cultivated between their rows.
• Some new crops which absorb heavy metals and reduce heavy metal concentration in soil may be cultivated.
• Continuous monitoring of industrial effluent must be done to avoid excessive accumulation of heavy
On November 16th 2016 I went to the Triangle Farmer’s Market visiting two different vendors. I asked the vendors general questions about how their products are grown and sold. My total time spent at the farmers market was approximately 1 hour. I learned a lot about sustainable production of food and the importance of supporting local farms. The first vendor I went to exclusively sold vegetables.
SPU PO3 – The Martian Nina Groenveld | VT4A Making water using hydrazine: In the movie, astronaut Mark Watney used hydrazine from the rocket fuel and separated it into nitrogen and oxygen. The formula is N2H4 → N2 + 2H2. After this he burned the hydrogen with oxygen to make water. The formula is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. Martian soil:
Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether the amount of topsoil would influence the growth of radish plants. It was hypothesized that if the amount of topsoil increased by 50% would increase because topsoil contains the essential nutrients which are required for proper plant growth. The principle findings indicated that a medium amount of topsoil is ideal for plant growth as the radish plant potted in 50 ml of topsoil experienced the most growth in comparison to the radish plants potted either in 25 ml or 200 ml of topsoil. Introduction: A healthy layer of topsoil comprises of a mixture of clay, sand, silt, and humus that supply the plants with vital nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other necessary
Contaminated water may contain high levels of nitrates and nitrites, causing haemoglobin disorders. Moreover, (April 2015) Environment associations says that most of the people all know that fertilizers are used for proper and healthy growth of plan but are they really healthy and what exactly are fertilizers and how do fertilizers affect the environment. It is a fertilizer is a substance, be it synthetic or organic which is added to the soil in order to increase the supply of essential nutrients that boost the growth of plants and vegetation in that soil. With the rapid increase in population globally, the demand of food and agricultural give in has been rising very highly. This is the reason why statistics show that almost 40-60% of agricultural crops are grown with the use of different types of fertilizers not only this, more than 50 percent
