1] Biogas Biogas means – Biogas means that it is combustible and can be used as a fuel.
If the sludge from the sewage plant is allowed to rot in a closed tank, it produces biogas on a large scale. And the principle of storing this gas and using it as fuel is also used in Gobargas project Biogas generally consists of 50 to 60% methane gas with the rest being carbon dioxide Since methane is flammable, biogas is also flammable. Materials used in making biogas:- cow dung, human dung,food scraps and Mahuva biogas should be mixed with water as much as cow dung and other ingredients like cow dung 25 kg and water 25 kg so that the mixture is compacted

2 Practical: Rain Gauge
Base = 3.14
Area of the funnel = πr²
= 3.14 × 4.85 × 4.85
= 73.86
Water collected from rain ÷ Area of the funnel × 10
200 ÷ 73.86 = 27.07
27.07 × 10 = 27.07 mm
