Green Infrastructure: Flood Control and Water Management

Water scarcity is a pressing issue in many parts of the world. One innovative solution to this problem is rainwater harvesting, which involves collecting and storing rainwater for later use.  The study aims to install a rainwater harvesting and treatment system to :1. Reduce water loss by its running-off.2 Meeting the demands of increasing water. 3. Reducing groundwater contamination.4. Increase available water during dry season.5. Reduce flooding and potentially prevent flooding of roads. This is a descriptive research method and is purely qualitative. It used Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Interview, and secondary data to get the necessary information from three Consultants, three Executives, and four Professors who are experts in the field. The study found that the rainwater harvesting and treatment facility would be a feasible project. It would minimize water consumption costs and reduce flooding in the city, with potential for replication by other universities, governments, and private entities

Acceptability testing and development of a novel wood lathe balanced rest

The utility model discussed in this study discloses a wood lathe balancing rest that is advantageous in terms of design, ergonomics, and functions. The study aimed to fabricate a safety device for the wood lathe machine to prevent kickback and slow down vibration from the workpiece attached to the lathe machine to avoid the vibration of the workpiece and to avoid an accident to the operator and to avoid damage of the materials. The utility model is planned not exclusively to spare time yet also for the wellbeing of the laborers amid activity. It is designed to hold the workpiece when turning and control the vibration, it can be mounted on the bed of the lathe near the center of the turning planetary
