Explain with minimum three points how renewable energy use would improve national

security.

Renewable energy are the sources of energy that are infinite or will never run out for example-
sunlight, wind power and so on. There are various advantages of using or utilizing the sources of
renewable energy one of which is the improvement of national security. Now, power stations of
non-renewable energy sources like nuclear powerplants, big electric or water plants are
commonly targets of terrorist attack. The reason is that they are very valuable and damaging
them can cripple the country financially and creates demand for more energy within the country.
The use of renewable energy also improves the status of a country significantly and such a
country cannot be bullied by others to buy energy from them. In this way renewable energy
enhances national security.
Using your own words, explain why it is important to reduce energy use
It is very important to note that almost three-fourth of the world’s energy demand is fulfilled using
renewable resources or fossil fuels. It is only a matter of time for these resources to run out. For this
reason, it is extremely important for us to reduce the energy use and prolong the life of such renewable
resources. Wastage or inefficient use of electricity and water resources is damaging us very badly.
Secondly, the use of fossil fuel in any form contributes to some form of pollution mainly air pollution.
As we are desperate for becoming more environment conscious to save the planet this factor should be
kept in mind. The efficient use of energy overall increases the economy of the country as fewer
renewable resources are being used and it leads to an improved quality of life for many people in the
rural area. If we save energy then this energy can be allotted to people in underdeveloped places and
they will enjoy higher standard of living.
Explain with minimum three points why Bangladesh agriculture is facing challenges in
regaining soil fertility

Soil fertility basically refers to the ability of the soil to provide necessary nutrients to the plants
for their proper growth. Now, we know that the O and A horizon or the top soil contains the
fertile organic nutrients and because of cropping intensity this is damaged. The farmers want to
grow more and more crops in a year which results in the damaged top soil and hence lower soil
fertility. Our country is still backwards in agriculture technology and plowing of land is very
common. When through plowing in done the top soil is severely damaged which contributes to
soil infertility. This problem can be solved using till cultivation. The use of pesticides which
are filled with chlorinated and halogenated products to get rid of pests is another reason. They
deeply harm the organic contents of the soil and results in damages like soil erosion. Thus,
multiple cropping or cropping intensity, use of backwards techniques like ploughing and
harmful pesticides are responsible for soil infertility.
Explain how modern engineered sanitary landfill protects the environment

The use of landfills is extremely important to dispose solid waste. In a sanitary landfill, the
wastes or garbage are compacted as much as possible and covered with layers of soil. Thus,
this helps the waste to slowly get disintegrated or absorbed in the soil. Now, an engineered
sanitary landfill is a little different from sanitary landfill. It is a specified waste disposal site
with specific measurements and engineered monitoring. What this does is prevent the problem
leaching or harmful substance contaminating the ground water and also solves the problem of
air pollution form such sites. There is an impermeable layer in such a setting which
accomplishes this task. Advantages are that the site is safe from rodents, birds and pests and
the materials can be turned in low grade composts. The place has an aesthetic angle to it as it is
not a dump and prevents any sort of air pollution. This is how such landfills protect the
environment.
xplain with minimum three points how drip irrigation reduces water u
So basically, drip irrigation is a technique of sustainable agriculture. There are computer-controlled
water pipes that have been installed beneath the crop fields which supply water drip by drip to the roots
of the pants specifically. This is very important to note that the plants roots are the key place that
requires water for healthy development. In general, what we do is water plants excessively in the body.
But this purpose can be fulfilled by providing very small amount of water to the roots of the plants.
When the moisture level of the plant goes down it automatically sends a signal to the computer and the
pipes starts dripping water slowly. As water is applied to the roots the evaporation of water is
negligible which further saves a lot water. Thus, in this way the use o drip irrigation helps to save
water.
