متن کاملDescribe the Traditional Rain Water Harvesting "Perch" Method in Boyerahmad Area
In recent decades, extensive research has been carried out to collect and store rain and runoff around the world. In addition to applying different water harvesting methods, and reducing the risk of runoff, other measures such as increasing soil moisture content and cultivation of tree and rangeland species have been studied. There are many water-related environmental problems which, according ...
متن کاملBioinspired Breathable Architecture for Water Harvesting
Thuja plicata is a coniferous tree which displays remarkable water channelling properties. In this article, an easily fabricated mesh inspired by the hierarchical macro surface structure of Thuja plicata branchlets is described which emulates this efficient water collection behaviour. The key parameters are shown to be the pore size, pore angle, mesh rotation, tilt angle (branch droop) and laye...
متن کاملInvestigation of Fresh Water Harvesting from Playa’s Wetlands
Playas are low-lands which is considered to be the locations of accumulation of superficial and ground waters fromhigher elevations and these waters have different types of salts and various salinity level. Therefore, because of lack ofrainfall and fresh-water both for human and animal useage or even for plants, it is needed to apply proper methods toharvest fresh water from these saline-waters...
متن کاملEvaluation of water supply for olive trees through rainwater harvesting in semi-arid regions in Kohgiloyeh va Boyerahmad Province
Abstract Lack of stored soil moisture is an essential factor in intensification of the problems of arid and semi-arid areas in Kohgiloyeh va Boyerahmad Province. In these areas, limited surface water and groundwater have rendered vast areas of the region’s fertile lands useless. Despite these problems, appropriate conditions can be provided to plant resistant and adapted species such as olive...
