PLANTAION AND ADOPTION OF A TREE

1.1 Introduction
Growing and planting trees in a specific area or region is a crucial activity known as "tree
plantation." One of the best ways to lessen the effects of climate change and guarantee a
sustainable environment for the future is through this method. There is a plethora of advantages to
planting trees, from social and economic to environmental.
First off, trees are essential in the fight against climate change. They release oxygen, which is
necessary for breathing by both humans and animals, and they absorb carbon dioxide, a
greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Additionally, trees serve as natural air filters
that lower air pollution and enhance air quality. Additionally, trees stop soil erosion, keep the soil
moist, and stop floods and landslides.
Second, planting trees has numerous social advantages. Trees give people shelter and shade,
making it a pleasant place to live, work, and play. They also improve the aesthetics of the
surroundings, enhancing the appeal and livability of cities and towns. A source of food, medicine,
and raw materials for many industries, trees also support economic growth by generating job
opportunities. Third, there are financial advantages to tree plantations. Trees raise a property's
value, resulting in higher land prices and greater returns on investment. They also provide a
source of income through the sale of timber, fruits, and other forest products. Additionally, trees
draw tourists, generating a sizable source of income for nearby communities. In conclusion,
planting trees is an important activity that has a big impact.

Continuing its tradition of environmental preservation and eco-friendly activities, the "Tree
Plantation event" was held on the campus of 'The SJB Institute of Technology' on December 21,
2022. Understanding the importance of nature to our survival and conserving nature in all forms is
our moral obligation. It's not difficult to imagine that without trees, humans would not exist on
this lovely planet. During the pandemic, we also noticed a change in nature's purity and a
reduction in pollution. While modern technology has provided us with many conveniences, the
resulting urbanization and industrialization have some unfavorable side effects, one of which is
global warming. This event is a step in the right direction toward creating a healthy environment
and reconnect humans to nature and foster environmental stewardship.
Professor Jnaneshwar discussed the value of nature and how we can protect it for the sake of our
future generations. Nature's perspective must shift from utility to divinity. The most important
natural resource is trees. It is our moral obligation to prioritize its conservation. "We should not
only save trees, but also put equal effort into planting and nurturing trees for at least the next four
years," he added. He also discussed the significance of such an event in developing a good virtue
in one's life. All of the participants planted over 100 saplings around campus and near their
homes.

1.2 About the plant
Millettia pinnata is a legume tree that grows to about 15–25 m (50–80 ft) in height with a
large canopy that spreads equally wide. It may be deciduous for short periods. It has a straight or
crooked trunk, 50–80 cm (20–30 in) in diameter, with grey-brown bark, which is smooth or
vertically fissured. Its wood is white colored. Branches are glabrous with pale stipulate scars.
The imparipinnate leaves of the tree alternate and are short-stalked, rounded, or cuneate at the
base, ovate or oblong along the length, obtuse-acuminate at the apex, and not toothed on the
edges. They are a soft, shiny burgundy when young, and mature to a glossy, deep green as the
season progresses, with prominent veins underneath.

HERITAGE WALK AND CRAFTS CORNER
2.1 Introduction
Heritage is the full range of our inherited traditions, monuments, objects, and culture. Most
important, it is the range of contemporary activities, meanings, and behaviors that we draw from
them. Heritage includes but is much more than preserving, excavating, displaying, or restoring a
collection of old things. Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs, and
institutions of a population that is passed down from generation to generation. Culture has been
called "the way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress,
language, religion, rituals, and art. City culture is an aspect of life in a city that people enjoy and
regard as valuable. Culture emerges over the history of a city as a result of the shared experiences
of its residents. A city may have more than one culture. Bangalore is the city where we are living
currently, doing our Engineering Course here. Bangalore, officially known as Bengaluru, is the
Capital of the Indian State of Karnataka. It has a population of over ten million, making it a
megacity and the Third most populous City and 5th most populous urban agglomeration in
India. It is located in Southern India on the Deccan Plateau. Its elevation is over 900 m (3,000 ft)
above sea level, the highest of India’s major cities.
A succession of South Indian dynasties, the Western Gangas, the Cholas, and the Hoysalas, ruled
the present region of Bangalore until in 1537 CE, Kempegowda – a feudal ruler under
the Vijayanagara Empire – established a mud fort considered to be the foundation of modern
Bangalore. In 1638, the Marathas conquered and ruled Bangalore for almost 50 years, after which
the Mughals captured and sold the city to the Mysore Kingdom of the Wadiyar dynasty. It was
captured by the British after victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799), who returned
administrative control of the city to the Maharaja of Mysore. The old city developed in the
dominions of the Maharaja of Mysore and was made the capital of the Princely State of Mysore,
which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the British Raj.
In 1809, the British shifted their cantonment to Bangalore, outside the old city, and a town grew
up around it, which was governed as part of British India. Following India’s independence in
1947, Bangalore became the capital of Mysore State and remained the capital when the new
Indian state of Karnataka was formed in 1956. The two urban settlements of Bangalore – city and
cantonment – which had developed as independent entities merged into a single urban center in
1949. The existing Kannada name, Bengaluru, was declared the official name of the city in 2006.
Bangalore is sometimes referred to as the “Silicon Valley of India” (or “IT capital of India”)
because of its role as the nation’s leading information technology (IT) exporter. Indian
technological organizations ISRO, Infosys, Wipro, and HAL are headquartered in the city. A
demographically diverse city, Bangalore is the second fastest-growing major metropolis in
India. It is home to many educational and research institutions in India, such as the Indian Institute
of Science (IISc), Indian Institute of Management (Bangalore)(IIMB), National Institute of
Fashion Technology, Bangalore, National Institute of Design, Bangalore (NID R&D
Campus), National Law School of India University (NLSIU) and National Institute of Mental
Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS). Numerous state-owned aerospace and defense
organizations, such as Bharat Electronics, Hindustan Aeronautics, and National Aerospace
Laboratories are located in the city. The city also houses the Kannada film industry.
The students of our class have visited the remnants of Old Bengaluru City, the point of origin of
the city, the Bangalore Fort, and Tippu’s Summer Palace.

2.2 Bangalore Fort
Located amid the bustling KR Market, the majestic Bangalore Fort is often overlooked by visitors
the fort is where the city’s foundation was laid. The fort was built as a mud structure by
Kempegowda I, a feudatory of the Vijayanagara Empire, in 1537 CE – the same year Bangalore
was founded.Today, this structure, made of sloping granite walls with stucco carvings, is well
maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India. The fort premises also house a small Ganesha
temple with a gabled roof,intrinsic to the architecture of South India.
Despite the grandeur of its history, the structure is largely neglected both by the local people and
tourists. But efforts are being made to give the fort the recognition it deserves. In 2015,
Bangaloreans organised an event called ‘Paint the Kote Red’ in which people dressed in red,
holding torches and red lights while tracing the boundaries of the fort through a human chain,
thereby painting the fort red. Perhaps, someday, efforts like this will manage to arouse people’s
curiosity about the culture and heritage of this hi-tech city Kempe Gowda beautifully constructed
Bangalore Fort was initially built as a mud fort in the year 1537 by Kempe Gowda, the chief of
the Vijayanagar Empire and the founder of the megacity Bangalore. Gowda had a dream to create
a city which would be as beautiful as Hampi and would be a capital city with a fort, temples, tanks
or water reservoirs and a cantonment.
The magnificent fort was spread across a mile and was flanked by wide ditches which were
commanded by 26 towers encircling its ramparts and protecting the palace from all the sides. The
construction of Tipu’s fort was initiated by his father Hyder Ali in 1781 and was completed by
him in 1791.In the year 1791, the fort was attacked by the fierce British East India Company led
by Lord Cornwallis, after killing almost 2,000 people.
Following the bloody battle, the British Army captured the palace and ruptured through the walls
during the Third Mysore War near the Delhi Gate. At the time the citadel in the siege of Bangalore
became a stronghold for Tipu Sultan. A part of it was destroyed largely due to the battle but was
later restored under his aegis.
The Bangalore Fort started in the year 1537 as just a mud fort. In the year 1761, Hyder Ali
replaced the mud fort with a stone fort and was further improved by his son Tipu Sultan in the late
18th century. The fort is a living reminder of the historical conflict between the Kingdom of

Mysore and the mighty British people. In earlier times Tipu Sultan's Summer Fort was also a part
of Bangalore Fort but today it is a separate structure. There is also a temple of Lord Ganesha,
which reflects the religious tolerance shown by Tipu Sultan.
The Bangalore Fort was spread over a mile and was surrounded by wide moats, and had nine large
gates. The fort was of solid masonry in which 26 high towers were placed with ramparts ordered
at intervals. The portion of Delhi Gate has impressive lattice and huge arches which are
beautifully ornamented with motifs. The fort is spread across 2 floors with teak wood interiors and
stone and comprises 4 royal rooms placed at four corners on the first floor, a large hall, chambers
and two balconies from where the sultan used to address the officials and held his raj durbar.
Inside the fort complex stands a beautiful Ganapati mandir which was constructed in the 16th
century and is currently deserted.
2.3 Tippu’s Summer Palace
The Tippu Sultan Summer Palace is one of the most visited historic buildings in Bengaluru. Hyder
Ali, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore started the construction of this summer palace in
1781. His son Tippu Sultan also known as the Tiger of Mysore completed the
construction after a decade.
The Tipu Sultan Summer Palace, which is more than two centuries old is made up of wood, stone,
and mud. It’s a two-story building sitting on a low platform with the audience chamber in the front
and the back. There are 160 pillars some of which reach the upper story. The walls and ceilings
were once richly painted with geometric and floral patterns, traces of which are still available.
The Archaeological Survey of India declared this summer palace as a nationally protected
monument in 1951. The tiny museum exhibits Tippu’s swords, the tiger toy, paintings of the
palace, and some historical information. Most of the paintings in the museum are of “Summer
Palace” from different angles. They are all reprint of the originals created by
James Hunter in 1804.
The beautiful summer palace of Tipu Sultan stands as a testimony to the harmonious
amalgamation between Indian and Islamic architecture. It was constructed in 1784 within the
compound of the Bangalore Fort. However, today, they lie in separate locations due to the many
constructions that have come up in recent times. Tipu Sultan had a penchant for manicured lawns
and abundant greenery. He ensured that there were immaculate gardens all around his summer
palace. The structure of the palace itself is alluring. Constructed of sturdy teak wood, this palace
has managed to survive the ravages of time.
The Tiger as he was known would come to the palace almost every summer and hold court
or durbar here. He would be seated in the upper floor and the audience or court would gather
around below. The palace itself, having been used in the summers, was therefore modelled along
the lines of the palace at Sira, which no longer exists. The palace is airy and has many balconies,
pillars, arches, rooms and walls, all of which are wooden and carved beautifully. Many parts of
the palace have beautiful paintings of floral motifs on the inside. On the outside, there are
paintings of battle scenes amongst many others. Sadly, due to lack of maintenance by the
authorities, many of these paintings have all but vanished.
The grandeur of the Tipu Sultan Summer Palace influenced great artists like Robert Home and
James Hunter, who made paintings and lithographs of the Palace. The sketches paint a vivid
picture of the zeitgeist, and give a view into the lives of the commons. Some of the art works are
on display at the museum.

ORGANIC FARMING & WASTE MANAGEMNT

3.1 Introduction
Organic farming is a agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and biological
fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops.
Modern organic farming was developed as a response to the environmental harm caused by the
use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers in conventional agriculture, and it has
numerous ecological benefits.
Compared with conventional agriculture, organic farming uses fewer pesticides, reduces soil
erosion, decreases nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and recycles animal wastes
back into the farm. These benefits are counterbalanced by higher food costs for consumers and
generally lower yields.
Waste management is the process of managing unwanted waste items that have served their
purpose but are no longer useful is referred to as Waste Management. Collecting solid waste
materials, processing them, and disposing of them are all part of the solid waste management
process. Human interaction with the environment has always resulted in the creation of waste.
Wastes include dead and decaying plant and animal remains, metabolic by-products (faecal
remains, excreta, etc.), discarded materials from homes, workplaces, businesses, restaurants,
factories, hospitals, pesticides, herbicides sprayed on fields, and many more. This article will
teach students about solid waste management, including the many trash management methods and
their benefits.
3.2Usefulness
Sustainability over the long term many changes observed in the environment are long term,
occurring slowly over time. Organic agriculture considers the medium- and long-term effect of
agricultural interventions on the agro-ecosystem. It aims to produce food while establishing an
ecological balance to prevent soil fertility or pest problems. Organic agriculture takes a proactive
approach as opposed to treating problems after they emerge. Soil building practices such as crop
rotations, inter-cropping, symbiotic associations, cover crops, organic fertilizers and minimum
tillage are central to organic practices. In turn, nutrient and energy cycling is increased and the
retentive abilities of the soil for nutrients and water are enhanced, compensating for the non-use of

mineral fertilizers. Such management techniques also play an important role in soil erosion
control.
The length of time that the soil is exposed to erosive forces is decreased, soil biodiversity is
increased, and nutrient losses are reduced, helping to maintain and enhance soil productivity.
Crop export of nutrients is usually compensated by farm-derived renewable resources, but it is
sometimes necessary to supplement organic soils with potassium, phosphate, calcium, magnesium
and trace elements from external sources.Water
In many agriculture areas, pollution of groundwater courses with synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides is a major problem. As the use of these is prohibited in organic agriculture, they are
replaced by organic fertilizers and with greater, enhancing soil structure and water infiltration.
Well managed organic systems with better nutrient retentive abilities, greatly reduce the risk of
groundwater pollution. In some areas where pollution is a real problem, conversion to organic
agriculture is highly encouraged as a restorative measure.
Air and climate change : Organic agriculture reduces non-renewable energy use by decreasing
agrochemical needs. Organic agriculture contributes to mitigating the greenhouse effect and
global warming through its ability to sequester carbon in the soil. Many management practices
used by organic agriculture, increase the return of carbon to the soil, raising productivity and
favoring carbon storage. Several studies revealed that soil organic carbon contents under organic
farming are considerably higher.
The more organic carbon is retained in the soil, the more the mitigation potential of agriculture
against climate change is higher. However, there is much research needed in this field, yet.
Biodiversity: Organic farmers are both custodians and users of biodiversity at all levels. At the
gene level, traditional and adapted seeds and breeds are preferred for their greater resistance to
diseases and their resilience to climatic stress. At the species level, diverse combinations of plants
and animals optimize nutrient and energy cycling for agricultural production. At the ecosystem
level, the maintenance of natural areas within and around organic fields and absence of chemical
inputs create suitable habitats for wildlife. The frequent use of under-utilized species reduces
erosion of agro-biodiversity, creating a healthier gene pool - the basis for future adaptation. The
provision of structures providing food and shelter, and the lack of pesticide use, attract new or re-
colonizing species to the organic area, including wild flora and fauna (e.g. birds) and organisms
beneficial to the organic system such as pollinators and pest predators.
Genetically modified organisms: The use of GMOs within organic systems is not permitted during

any stage of organic food production, processing or handling. As the potential impact of GMOs to
both the environment and health is not entirely understood, organic agriculture is taking the
precautionary approach and choosing to encourage natural biodiversity.
The organic label therefore provides an assurance that GMOs have not been used intentionally in
the production and processing of the organic products. This is something which cannot be
guaranteed in conventional products as labelling the presence of GMOs in food products has not
yet come into force in most countries.
However, with increasing GMO use in conventional agriculture and due to the method of
transmission of GMOs in the environment, organic agriculture will not be able to ensure that
organic products are completely GMO free in the future.
Ecological services: The impact of organic agriculture on natural resources favors interactions
within the agro-ecosystem that are vital for both agricultural production and nature conservation.
Ecological services derived include soil forming and conditioning, soil stabilization, waste
recycling, carbon sequestration, nutrients cycling, predation, pollination and habitats.
By opting for organic products, the consumer through his/her purchasing power promotes a less
polluting agricultural system. The hidden costs of agriculture to the environment in terms of
natural resource degradation are reduced.
3.3 Wet Waster Management

Wet waste or organic waste such as Vegetable peels, food leftovers, etc., constitute about 50% of
the overall waste stream. Dumping of Organic wastes at landfills leads to formation of noxious
fumes that adds to greenhouse gases and pollutes land, water bodies.
This can be avoided by properly managing wet waste through processes that are environmentally
friendly such as composting or by feeding the pre-Conditioned wet-waste to Bio-gas plants.
Garden Waste: Tech Parks, large residential communities and event grounds have large
landscapes and gardens. These landscapes and gardens produce bulk quantity of organic waste
such as leaves, twigs and branches which requires a substantial space for processing. Earth
Recycler offers pick up on demand service for garden waste which can be further processed by
windrow composting at our centralized waste management facility.
Composting: Composting is a environment friendly solution to process organic/wet and garden
waste. Wet waste is converted into compost/vermicompost through conventional, semi-automated
or fully automated composting processes. Composting is an aerobic degradation of organic matter

resulting in highly nutrient compost. At Earth Recyclers we strive for efficiency, cost reduction,
highest return on investment and investment security with less risk. Depending on the space and
economical availability we recommend the best suitable composting method.
There are different forms of composting such as conventional windrow composting, tank
composting, vermi-composting, semi-automated and fully automated composting. Composting is
simple but when it comes to managing large quantity of wet waste, its better handled by
professionals.
Vermi Composting is a type of composting in which earthworms are used to enhance the process
of organic waste conversion and produce a better end-product called vermi-compost. It is a
mesophilic process utilizing microorganisms and earthworms.
Vermicomposting can be done on small and large scales which can give high nutrient castings
which is also loaded with the microorganisms that nourishes and makes soil highly fertile.
Vermicompost is often used as top or side dressing for most demanding and deserving plants.
Biogas plants are waste-to-energy plants that convert organic waste into methane. Biogas plants
rely on anaerobic digestion, a fermentation process in which organic waste is digested by
microbes to produce methane (Biogas).
Earth Recycler’s bio-gas plants are robust and durable that completely processes organic waste in
the shortest possible time with less maintenance costs. We stand with best understanding of the
entire process, from the disposal of waste and other raw materials, through processing, to delivery
of the final product. Bio-gas plants are best suited for Restaurants, hotels and food industries
which generate large amount of food waste and are looking for significant long-term organic
waste management solution in addition to being environmentally responsible.
3.4 Horticulture Festival visit

As a part of this module our college had organised a visit to the Horticulture Research Center and
University, Hesaraghatta, Bangalore. There was a organic farming and horticulture mela that was
going on. All the students of our college were taken there, to see the diffent types of plants,
hybrids, farming techniques, technologies.
Here are a few photos from that visit :

WATER CONSERVATION
4.1 Introduction
Water conservation includes all the policies, strategies and activities to sustainably manage the
natural resource of fresh water, to protect the hydrosphere, and to meet the current and future
human demand. Population, household size and growth and affluence all affect how much water is
used. Factors such as climate change have increased pressures on natural water resources
especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation.
Many countries have already implemented policies aimed at water conservation, with much
success. The key activities to conserve water are as follows: any beneficial reduction in water loss,
use and waste of resources, avoiding any damage to water quality; and improving water
management practices that reduce the use or enhance the beneficial use of water. Technology
solutions exist for households, commercial and agricultural applications.
Water conservation programs involved in social solutions are typically initiated at the local level,
by either municipal water utilities or regional governments. Common strategies include public
outreach campaigns, tiered water rates (charging progressively higher prices as water use
increases), or restrictions on outdoor water use such as lawn watering and car washing.
4.2 Methods
Water is one of the vital elements available for our survival on Earth. Life exists on Earth due to
the presence of water. All flora and fauna flourish with water. In nature, there is a limited supply
of clean and fresh water.
Human activities have polluted even the little percentage of water that is available for us thus
threatening our mere survival on this planet.
Take shorter showers, reducing your shower time is one of the important ways to cut down the
excess usage of water.
Fix all the leaks, do not let any leak be left unattended. Regularly check all the faucets, pipes, and
taps for any leaks. Get them fixed as soon as possible to avoid any wastage of water.
Do not let any tap remain open as the dripping of water can lead to a loss of a significant amount
of water.
Do not wash down garbage with water, put the garbage in the bin and not wash it down as a large
amount of water will be required to flush down the tiny bits of garbage.
Do not water plants in the rainy season, rainwater can get accumulated in the plants for a long
time during the rainy season and they can also absorb the moisture present in the air during that
time.
Hence, they need not be watered during rain,clean vegetables efficiently
Do not wash vegetables under running water. Instead, store the water in a container and wash the
fruits and vegetables in it.
Water the plants smartly, water the plants keeping in mind the time of the day and the temperature
conditions. Watering plants around 12 in the noon might cause water in the plants to evaporate
quickly.
Reusing water, water from laundry or car cleaning can be reused for watering the plants.
Spread Awareness, make more and more people aware of the need to conserve water and the
harmful effects of not doing so.
Practice rainwater harvesting, collect rainwater and then use it for household purposes.
4.3 Why ?
It minimizes the effects of drought and water shortages, even though our need for fresh water
sources is always increasing because of population and industry growth, the supply we have stays
constant.
Even though water eventually returns to Earth through the water cycle, it's not always returned to
the same spot, or in the same quantity and quality. By reducing the amount of water we use, we
can better protect against future drought years.
It guards against rising costs and political conflict, railing to conserve water can eventually lead to
a lack of an adequate water supply, which can have drastic consequences. These include rising
costs, reduced food supplies, health hazards, and political conflict.
It helps to preserve our environment, reducing our water usages reduces the energy required to
process and deliver it to homes, businesses, farms, and communities, which, in turn, helps to
reduce pollution and conserve fuel resources.
It makes water available for recreational purposes
It's not just swimming pools, spas, and golf courses that we have to think about. Much of our
freshwater resources are also used for beautifying our surroundings—watering lawns, trees,
flowers, and vegetable gardens, as well as washing cars and filling public fountains at parks.
Failing to conserve water now can mean losing out on such uses later.
It builds safe and beautiful communities, firefighters, hospitals, gas stations, street cleaners, health
clubs, gyms,ofand
Department restaurants
CSE, SJBIT all require large amounts of water to provide services to the

community. Reducing our usage of water now means that these services can continue to be
provided.
4.4 Advantages
You get to preserve a limited and depleting resource – water
97 percent of all water on earth is salt water (oceans and seas). This makes it unsuitable for
drinking purposes. Only 3% of water on Earth is freshwater, and out of that approximately 0.5%
to 1% is available for drinking.
The remaining fresh water is locked in ice caps, glaciers, the atmosphere, soil, or under the earth’s
surface, or is too polluted for consumption. That makes water a limited resource for a population
of billions (and growing). Moreover, when you conserve water, you are also protecting it from
pollution.
Water conservation minimizes the effects of drought and water shortages, they say you save for
the rainy days. Here, you save for the dry days. This is important because while the need for water
is ever growing, its supply isn’t. Even though water will follow its own cycle and return to the
earth in some way or another, it doesn’t return in the same quantity, quality and place. So when
we reduce the amount of water we use, we can save it when dry spells begin or for future drought
years.
Water conservation avoids rising costs and political conflict
Water knows no boundaries. It travels miles, passing one nation after the other. Sadly, humans are
very specific to these boundaries.
If two countries share a limited resource (that too when it is as essential to life as water), they will
compete over it and this competition often results in geopolitical conflict. India and Pakistan, the
two neighboring countries in Asia are classic examples of this. Noncompliance to water
conservation methods can have dire consequences such as rising costs for a common man –
reduced food supplies, health hazards.
Protects the environment, water conservation is essential if we want to save our environment,
habitats and natural processes from further damage.
When water is contaminated, it affects our forests, plants, food, aquatic habitats, land and air alike
because all the processes of nature are interrelated. You cannot contaminate one and expect the
other to be aloof from impact.
It also saves a lot of energy because when we reduce our water usage, we automatically reduce
the energy required to process and deliver it to homes, businesses, farms, and communities.
Protect water quality, the concept of water conservation doesn’t restrict itself to using less water
and saving it for dry spells. Water conservation also means that you preserve the quality and
composition of water. You stop contaminating it. You take every measure to waste and pollute
less. For example, you can stop littering water bodies around you. You can stop flushing down
plastics, chemicals and medicines down the toilet, you can stop pouring leftover oil in the sink,
you can grow less water intensive grass and plants in your garden.
Create Less Wastewater, when you use water judiciously, you will create less wastewater (which
ends up contaminating your drinking water reservoirs). This will cut down your electricity bills
and also your sewer water costs.
