The first Dahlia flower in this season of the year was seen by me only today in my school garden. It looked so solitary and so beautiful that I could not resist the temptation of taking its photograph.

Dahlia has a large number of varieties with all its hybrids in various hues and colours. It is a genus of bushy herbaceous and perennial plants. Other species that relate to dahlia are sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum and Zinnia.

Dahlia has not less than 42 species with species of hybrids. It belongs to family Asteraceae. These plants are commonly grown in gardens during winter season in India. The stem of dahlia ranges in height from a minor 30cm to 2.4m. These plants do not produce scented flowers. They attract insects for pollination by display of their bright colours.

Dahlia pinnata is the National Flower of Mexico. It was declared as National Flower of Mexico in the year 1963. The plant has tubers that are often used for vegetative propagation of these plants.

Dahlia is found in most parts of the world. It especially grows on uplands and mountains.

Ever wondered why do people in India, Hindus basically, have mass lightening of earthen-lamps and that too in the same season i.e.; around October and November every year? Is Diwali, a day singled out to spread noise and sound pollution due to busting of crackers?  Read more at - www.theecotrends.com

Recently, while I was in Azamgarh at my home village I was reported about several things including migration of villagers to cities, deserted villages, and bad conditions of agriculture.

One of my relations there told me that besides drought they were suffering from a new problem with paddy crop and the problem was shown by him after we reached to his paddy field.

The leaves were rolled and white streaks appeared on them. After picking out a leaf he showed me the eggs of insect arranged linearly inside the rolled leaf. It not attended in time the problem may cause serious downfall in the paddy production.

I advised the man to consult immediately to the block office and to take important advice from there so as to check any further spread of the problem.

The problem is caused by leaf roller fly which lays eggs inside the tubular leaf, and the leaf is made tubular by rolling the same with the help of a highly sticky silken thread that is produced by the fly itself.

This book Authored by me (Pradip Kumar Sengupta "provides the tools that allow companies to understand the fundamental concepts of water resource management and to take proper action towards sustainable development. 

In the book “Industrial Water Resource Management, Challenges and Opportunities in Corporate Water Stewardship” the Author has timely addressed the challenges faced by the industries worldwide. While securing water for production and running industrial unit, industries have to pass through several social and regulatory procedures. Industries also face challenges in securing a licence to operate both from the authority and the community. Industries need to maintain a balance between the industrial establishment and the community and the ecosystem. They also have, as a statutory measure to disclose their water usage, conduct water audit or make arrangements for water conservation. There are water Acts and Laws in different countries and industries have to abide by the water framework directives and laws in the respective areas of operation.

The Author, Mr Pradip Kumar Sengupta is an internationally recognized expert who has conducted extensive research on groundwater modelling and hydrological modelling in river basins. He has acquired vast knowledge in industrial water through his association with reputed companies in India where he engaged his expertise as a consultant. He has intimately studied the constraints and challenges faced by the industries while ensuring their water security.

The aim of this book is to offer a water resource management plan for industries which is directly implementable and consistent with the water laws of different countries with a special emphasis on water stewardship. The Author, who is a leading world expert in these fields, outlines an integrated water resources management plan for the industries which is economically efficient, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable. The book offers explicit technical and investment solutions, socioeconomic and legal instruments and recommendations for institutional restructuring.  The book is divided into eleven chapters and each chapter is complete by itself.

A detailed review of this book is available here.
