Novel equipments for watering

University of Pune is trying its bit to use eco-frinedly products with novel ideas.

It has installed a swing in its jogging park. This swing is connected to pumps which are attached to water tank. As the swing moves to and fro, water is siphoned up and supplied to surrounding plants using drip irrigation system. If the swing is used for 10 minuts, it pumps 100 litres of water.

Another device is a cycle pump. This too is installed in the park. As it is used as a means of exercise it sends water to connected sprinklers, making surroundings cooler and greener.
