The pump supply system, sprinklers and operating conditions must be … Read more DMPQ-Write a short note on sprinkler Irrigation.

Negatives of Interlinking of rivers: This entails environmental cost. Interlinking would destroy water bodies as each river has unique flora and fauna based on its ecology. Mixing of waters will adversely affect this uniqueness, producing unforeseen consequences. Interlinking will lead to submergence of forest. This will worsen climate change. Forest, which act as carbon sinks … Read more DMPQ: . Interlinking of rivers is seen as a viable option to address the issue of water scarcity. Do you think interlinking of rivers is a full proof solution? (ENVT.)

The study of temperature of the ocean is important for studying the movement of large volumes of water, distribution of marine organisms, other properties such as salinity. This distribution pattern can be studied under vertical and horizontal distribution. Factors responsible for variation in horizontal distribution: The average temperature of surface water of the ocean is … Read more DMPQ- Enumerate the factors responsible for the Horizontal distribution of temperature in ocean water.
