FORESTS OF UTTAR PRADESH
The existing flora in Uttar Pradesh can be classified into
three categories-
Wet tropical deciduous forests.
Dry tropical deciduous forests.
Tropical thorny forests
MORE INFO
On the Shivalik foothills and in the terai-bhabhar area grow
the sal and gigantic haldu. Along river courses
the shisham grows in abundance.
The Vindhyan forests
have dhak, teak, mahua, salai, chironji and tendu. Sisso is
mostly used for furniture while khair yields kattha, which is
taken with betel leaves or pan. 
Semal and gutel are used as matchwood and kanju in the
plywood industry. Babul provides the principal tanning
material of the state. Some of the grasses such
as baib and bamboo are raw material for the paper industry.
 SUB TROPICAL FORESTS OF
MEGHALAYA
The Meghalaya subtropical forests is
an ecoregion of Northeast India. The ecoregion covers an area of
41,700 square kilometers (16,100 sq mi), and despite its name,
comprise not only the state of Meghalaya, but also parts of
southern Assam, and a tiny bit of Nagaland around Dimapur.
 It also contains many other habitats than subtropical forests,
but the montane subtropical forests found in Meghalaya is an
important biome, and was once much more widespread in the
region, and for these reasons chosen as the most suitable name.
MORE INFO
The Meghalaya subtropical forests are part of the
larger Indo-Burma biological hotspot with many endemic
species not found anywhere else in the world. 
The ecoregion is one of the most species-rich areas in
India, with a rich diversity of birds, mammals, and plants
in particular.
 The lowlands holds mostly tropical forests, while the
hills and mountains, that comprise most of the area, are
covered in grasslands and several distinct types of forest
habitats, including subtropical moist broadleaf forests in
some of the montane areas above 1,000 metres.

WATER HARVESTING STRUCTURES OF
UTTAR PRADESH
In rural areas, water harvesting facilities are being installed at
both public and private places. This includes setting up of
rooftop rainwater harvesting systems at the buildings.
It consists of catchment area (roof ), conveyance (guttering,
downspouts, first flush system and piping), filtration, storage
and distribution.
Guttering is done to transport rainwater from the roof to the
storage vessel. It is usually fixed to the building just below the
roof and catches the rain water as it falls from the roof.
WATER HARVESTING STRUCTURES IN
MEGHALAYA
In Meghalaya, people store and harvest rain water through
traditional means.
A method known as ‘rooftop harvesting’ — in which rain
water is collected in tanks — is used. This water can be used
for direct consumption and for recharging groundwater
through simple filtration devices.
This stored water is used for drinking, gardening, irrigation
and many other purposes.

REFLECTION
Through this activity I learnt the importance of
sustainable management and how the nature helps us
in every way possible.
I learnt what the different kinds of forests contributed
in our day to day lives and we found that they are an
essential part of our lives.
And then I learnt about the various water conservation
structures in the States of UP and Meghalaya and
contrasted them in order to find which water
conservation structure is more efficient.
