RAINWATER HARVESTING
What is Rainwater harvesting?
The term rainwater harvesting is being frequently used these days, however, the concept of water harvesting is not new for India. Water harvesting techniques had been evolved and developed centuries ago.
Ground water resource gets naturally recharged through percolation. But due to indiscriminate development and rapid urbainzation, exposed surface for soil has been reduced drastically with resultant reduction in percolation of rainwater, thereby depleting ground water resource. Rainwater harvesting is the process of augmenting the natural filtration of rainwater in to the underground formation by some artificial methods. "Conscious collection and storage of rainwater to cater to demands of water, for drinking, domestic purpose & irrigation is termed as Rainwater Harvesting."
Why harvest rainwater ?
This is perhaps one of the most frequently asked question, as to why one should harvest rainwater. There are many reasons but following are some of the important ones.
To arrest ground water decline and augment ground water table
To beneficiate water quality in aquifers
To conserve surface water runoff during monsoon
To reduce soil erosion
To inculcate a culture of water conservation
How to harvest rainwater:
Broadly there are two ways of harvesting rainwater:
(i) Surface runoff harvesting
(ii) Roof top rainwater harvesting
Surface runoff harvesting:
In urban area rainwater flows away as surface runoff. This runoff could be caught and used for recharging aquifers by adopting appropriate methods.
Roof top rainwater harvesting (RTRWH):
It is a system of catching rainwater where it falls. In rooftop harvesting, the roof becomes the catchments, and the rainwater is collected from the roof of the house/building. It can either be stored in a tank or diverted to artificial recharge system. This method is less expensive and very effective and if implemented properly helps in augmenting the ground water level of the area.
WHY RENEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING IS REQUIRED?
OPPORTUNITIES AND BARRIERS TO DEVELOP A STRONG INDIAN RENEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING INITIATIVE -
A key obstacle for the widespread adoption of solar alternatives is that politicians, decision makers, financiers, government employees, and members of the general public are usually not aware of how much solar technologies have evolved and improved in the last decade. This lack of awareness is severely limiting the implementation of viable and practical solar solutions that can enhance local energy security and reduce the use of polluting sources of energy. Three key constraining factors are: risk perception, access to financial capital, and development of local capacity. To meet these essential needs, educational organizations must plan for the initiation, development and evolution of renewable energy training programs that provide content specifically tailored to the requirements of existing renewable energy deployment plans and targets. All of these barriers result in an overall lack of awareness of the potential of solar technologies and renewable energy on the part of the general public, professional communities, youths and students at all levels.

WHY RENEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING IS REQUIRED?
The world is becoming a place in which the human population is becoming more crowded, more consuming, more polluting, and in many ways less diverse than at any time in history. There is a growing recognition that humans are altering the Earth’s natural systems at all scales, from local to global. A related question is what should be done now and in the near future to ensure that the basic needs for water, sanitation, nutrition, health, safety and power for all humans. What policies would you support to meet the demand for energy while ensuring an economically and environmentally sustainable future?
OPPORTUNITIES AND BARRIERS TO DEVELOP A STRONG INDIAN RENEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING INITIATIVE -
IST’s challenge translates into an imperative need to increase general awareness of renewable energy, to establish an accreditation system for renewable energy curriculum, and to provide leadership in the deployment of renewable energy training. IST’s renewable energy training initiative has the potential to ensure improved skills for the Indian workforce, which in turn can assure quality solar installations. Certification programs and training are also essential to ensure system performance and to promote consumer acceptance.
The uptake and replication of renewable energy systems across colleges and institutes remain a challenging undertaking. However, IST’s vision of evolving into a self-sustaining body that fosters an innovative renewable energy training infrastructure and programs throughout the Indian college and institute network provides a unique opportunity to provide a permanent place to host a leading community of practitioners in solar and renewable energy training and public education in India.
All the countries that are currently world leaders on renewable energy installations and manufacturing have developed strong proactive policies to address these issues and have also committed stable funding resources to ensure active local participation and to ensure that education opportunities are widely available within their jurisdictions.
Throughout this agenda, I remain committed to implementing and enforcing strong environmental protections that ensure all energy development activity is conducted in a safe and responsible manner. So we linked to the current global educational reform movement, educating for. We established a new educational institute “Institute of Solar Technology” to teach SPV technology for youths, to inspire individuals and communities to live a more sustainable lifestyle using renewable energy. So that everyone can know about Renewable Energy and is Environmental benefits and can go to Green Entrepreneurship.
BENEFITS OF Solar PV Training
Social Benefit - Implementing solar energy generation gives a homeowner the ability to take control over his energy costs. Each participating state offers a renewable-energy incentive for both business and homes to recover costs of initial solar systems set-up.
Youth Employment - An important social advantage of solar energy is the many new jobs needed for solar energy generation. While the demand for solar energy increases, so do the jobs needed to supply the demand. Sales and installation jobs will be necessary as solar energy awareness and popularity increase.
Youth Entrepreneurship - We also can support the self esteem of rural women by gradually training them to become a technician. We are transforming them from passive victims to active agents of social change for their communities. With practical project work looking at IST, these industrial training are a fantastic introduction to the world of renewable energy.
