What is hype cycle of environmental sustainability?

 The Hype Cycle for Environmental Sustainability is a visual framework developed by Gartner to track the maturity, adoption, and social relevance of various emerging technologies and approaches aimed at promoting sustainability. The hype cycle consists of five key stages that reflect the progression of a technology's development, from initial enthusiasm to eventual maturity. Here's an overview of each stage: Innovation Trigger : This is the stage where new technologies or innovations related to environmental sustainability are introduced. Awareness grows due to early proof-of-concept stories and media interest, though practical applications may still be limited. Examples could include breakthroughs in carbon capture or new types of renewable energy storage. Peak of Inflated Expectations : During this phase, expectations about the technology's potential reach their highest point. There's widespread enthusiasm, and many organizations may jump on board, expecting quick re...

How to increase the ground water levels in your surrounding areas ?

With the increase in population and poor water management, the ground water level is gradually decreasing. Due to less vegetation in the surroundings, there is a decrease in rainfall year on year, which is impacting agriculture growth in most countries. Due to less crop production, there is a peak rise in the cost of food products.  To resolve this, we need to Increase groundwater levels in local areas requires a combination of natural and human-made interventions. Here are several methods that can help enhance groundwater recharge: 1. Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) Rooftop Harvesting: Collect rainwater from roofs and store it in tanks or direct it into recharge wells to infiltrate into the ground. Surface Water Harvesting: Build small check dams or reservoirs to collect rainwater, allowing it to percolate into the soil. 2. Artificial Recharge Pits and Wells Recharge Pits: Construct recharge pits or trenches at strategic locations to allow rainwater to seep into the ground. These ar...
