Water harvesting

More research and demonstration activity should be devoted to water harvesting, which can be considerably useful not only in reducing irrigation requirements but also in the reduction of overland flow and consequently in the protection of soils from water erosion, as well as in leaching soils from salts accumulated with irrigation water. The solution of tied ridges, or diked furrows, to be obtained either by animal energy or when possible with the use of mechanical equipment, has been...

Acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle (also called the Krebs cycle), which occurs in cell mitochondria. In the Krebs cycle, the acetyl group is oxidized to C02 and water, harvesting a substantial amount of energy. This complex cycle starts with the reaction of oxaloacetate with acetyl-CoA,... 

Insufficient soil cover (lack of plants / soil cover, lack of water, insufficient water harvesting, storing and irrigation techniques)... 

Lack of techniques, which are not primarily linked to a specific land use system (e.g. none / obsolete irrigation systems no water harvesting systems). 

Water harvesting and collection To avoid water losses after strong rains, surface run-off is collected using bunds and ideally brought into the proximity of the plants. To avoid run-off from the field, the water is retained with micro-catchments and by field contour cultivation. Run-off water that has left the fields is slowed down by terraces, bunds on contour lines, dams and hedges and, if possible, collected.

If wastewater purification and reuse are the necessary stage toward the sustainable water source management, the production of potable water directly from saline water sources is essential for increasing consistently the amount of available good-quality water. Harvesting water from the sea, lakes, and rivers, by an economically affordable way, is the potential straight and definitive solution to water shortage problems. 

Develop and demonstrate a non-geomembrane, UV-resistant, water-repellent, erosion-resistant, sealant that can be applied to the soil surface as an aid in water harvesting.

Resuspend cell pellets in 50 ml sterile water. Harvest the cells as in step 3. 

Alternatively, single colonies can be inoculated into 0.5 ml CM dropout liquid medium and grown overnight with agitation at 30°C. If this route is chosen, harvest the cells in a microfuge tube by centrifugation at 16,500 x for 30 s, remove the supernatant, wash the cells with 1 ml sterile water, harvest the cells as above, and then proceed with step 3.
