water sources in the desert
what are the alternate source of electricity other than water that are cheap & easily made available in India?
hi, i want to know that how can large quantity of electricity can be made in place where there is little water & very little wind.The place is a desert where there are few trees,little rain & no rivers?
help me with some grt & cost efficient method from which i can make some electricity,
If you have a few billion dollars to spend, build a nuclear power plant. Solar might be had for less, but you didn’t say how many megawatts you need.

WATER REQUIRMENTS OF DESERT GOATS BY GHULAM MOHYUDDIN WANI
WATER REQUIREMENTS OF DESERT GOATs
BY
PROF GHULAM MOHYUDDIN WANI
:
Goats and sheep consumed water at the rate of 8% of their body weight per day under the scrarecity conditions. They have the capacity to maintain itself at 4% body weight per day. Evaporation loss was reduced from 6% of body weight per day to about 3% by restricting water intake. Reduced water intake does not effect temperature regulation
Water is obviously important for goats, and the amount required depends on that needed for the maintenance of normal water balance and to provide for satisfactory levels of production. The normal body water content of the goat varies with age, amount of fat in the body, and environmental temperatures. It would be expected to exceed 60 percent of the body weight and 75 percent of the nonbony tissues. Researchers have shown that some goats, such as the black Bedouin of the Negev and Sinai deserts, have the capacity to store as much as 76 percent of their body weight. Water requirements may be met by free water consumption, but other important sources include water contained in the feed ingested and metabolic water resulting from oxidation of energy sources. Major water losses include those from urine, lactation, evaporation, and perspiration.
.They also have the ability to conserve water by reducing losses in urine and feces. In many environments the water intake through forage may be high relative to other species because of their browse which consists maily of wtery tissue and flowering parts of the plant for this quality they are often critisized by foresters as damagingg species.However this controversy has endede (WANI,2002). The result is that goats are less dependent on free water sources than other domestic species, but do not equal certain wild animal species in this respect.DEER AND STAGE AND OTHER WILD ANIMALS HAS MUCH MORE WATER TOLERENCE AND CONSERVING CAPABILITY THAN THE GOAT.
Factors affecting the f water intake of goats are lactation STAGE,, environmental temperature, water content of forage consumed, amount of exercise, salt and mineral content of the diet. Therefore, the daily range of free water dintake may be from zero to several liters. When feeding on dry forages and when water is lacking, the efficiency of reproduction will suffer (Brown and Lynch, 1972; Lynch et al., 1972). Suboptimum water intake will result initially in reduced feed intake, then reduced performance and gradual starvation. Acute problems result when goats are unable to maintain water balance or control body temperature.
Goats are often more sensitive and reluctant than other species to drink from foul-tasting water sources. If they are forced to drink poor quality water, the result may be infection or undesirable mineral intake. Also, in many parts of the world goats drink from impounded water, and entrapment (bogging in mud) can be a real hazard, especially with Angoras.Our experiences at central goat institute of makhdoom,india shows goats are both selective browsers and drinkers(WATER i mean)
Goats are among the most efficient users of water, after the camel in the low rate of water turnover per unit of body weight (Maloiy and Taylor, 1971; Macfarlane and Howard, 1972). Goats appear to be less subject to high temperature stress than other species.
They have the ability to conserve water by reducing losses in urine and feces. In many environments the water intake through forage may be high relative to other species because of their ability or willingness to browse. The result is that goats are less dependent on free water sources than other domestic species, but do not equal certain wild animal species in this respect.
Factors affecting the free water intake of goats are lactation level, environmental temperature, water content of forage consumed, amount of exercise, and salt and mineral content of the diet.

Boer goat (BG) kids and 16 South African Mutton merino (MM) wether lambs were investigated.BY A FEW RESEARCHERS CITED IN THE TEXT . Two pelleted diets with either a low or a high metabolisable energy level were fed individually, ad libitum for 56 days. The BG had a 49% lower (P<0.01) water intake per kilogram mass gain than the MM on both the high and low energy diets. Both species had a lower (P<0.01) intake on the high than on the low energy diet. , the BG had a daily water intake of only 171 ml kg?0.75 compared to the 302 ml kg?0.75 of the MM.

Can you drill a well in Phoenix Arizona and expect it to be worth it?
Hi everyone.
Can you drill a well in the City of Phoenix, Arizona and expect to get groundwater? Would it be worth it to have as an emergency source of water? I’m considering a xeriscape (no water) backyward, with a few trees, but I’m considering my options as we are in a drought. I figured that maybe getting some water from the ground might be a good idea, as well as having a water source in the event of a serious drought.
Anyone who is an expert on this, or has experience with this would be greatly appreciated. I’m not even sure if it’s worth digging a well in the desert, but I figured that maybe it might have its merits.
Thoughts?
You may be luckiest person who does have water at 400 feet depth,that can only confirm by small geological test so take advice of your university geological department,mean while start rain harvesting by collecting rainwater of your roof top in a concrete well with impermeable lining.
