report on hulimavu lake by sambhrami patil

Report on Hulimavu Lake
First we all assembled in the school at 6:00 am and started exploring the birds found in our school. We found some Eagles, Crows, Parrots and some bird in yellow colour. Some of their pictures are here:
A bird sitting on a pole in front of our school reception
A crow flying in the sky
A bird sitting on a branch of the tree
Two parrots sitting on the topmost branch of the tree near the Bus Park area.
A yellow coloured bird sitting on a branch of the tree.
Then at 6:45 am we walked till the Hulimavu Lake and reached at 7:00 am. There we saw many Egrets, More Hen, Swans, and Cranes etc…… We also saw some beautiful purple coloured flowers and some green plants in Hulimavu Lake. Though there are many birds in the lake the condition of the lake is medium. Many people living nearby are poor so they come to the lake and dirty the place and go and there is no security or much people to visit the lake.  The birds seen in the Lake are local migratory birds.

                                                                  Some crows on a building
                                                        Some birds in colonies on wet grass
                                         Some of the purple coloured flowers in the lake
We came back from the Lake and reached school at 9:00 am and our parents were waiting to pick us back home. We had a lot of  fun in exploring the birds which come to the Lake and it was interesting too. Our teachers helped us in identifying the birds which we saw and apreciated the photos which we had taken. We also had a nice Sunday morning walk. We have also decided that we will also go for boating if it is available in any Lake. We are very excited to visit many more lakes and see beautiful birds and especially boating. Next we are planning to visit Madiwala Lake.

Our visit to the Teri foundation by sambhrami patil

Report on TERI
TERI stands for “The Energy and Resource Institute”It is a green building. Their project is based on Usage of Efficient Energy. It was inaugurated on 15th May 2000. It is designedaccording to the climate of Bangalore and Sun’s angles.
It is also based on three points:
Green Building: when the nature is not harmed by the building.
Sustainability: Surviving of green building in all the seasons without harming nature.
Energy Efficiency: Usage of energy when it is really needed.
The building reduces energy consumption because of the natural resources. They have only 40% energy consumption whereas 60% is natural.
The windows are located in the north as sun travels east to west and spends more time in South because of the angles of Earth and Sun.
The air property is to fill the vacuum. So as there is drainage in the south to avoid the smell they have put some vacuums. The Air Ventilation comes from South.
They segregate waste into dry and wet waste. The lights in the parking area are generated from 5:30 pm.  
They have used fly ash material to resist heat. Poles are connected to the dining room to extract the used air. Thebuilding also consists of Roof Garden and down of it they have a Conference Hall with A/C. The Roof Garden will not transmit heat. The furniture’s made inside are made from the waste materials used in the industries. There is library too. The library becomes hot in summer. So, to reduce the hot temperature they have made a small pond in front of the library window. There is a black coloured wall at the south to absorb heat. There is a tank with a capacity of 50000l of water to store the rainwater. They also have guest rooms.
The incandescent bulbs are powered by the solar panels. 2 kl/vat energy is generated every day. There is a solar geyser too. It is used in the guest rooms.
They grow indoor plants. They have glassing at the roof for the plants to get sunlight and also for them to see and work. They open the shades and blinds in the daytime.
The vegetative plants there are local species. The building is surrounded by garden from all the sides. At the south they grow fruits like figs, muskmelons and guava’s etc… They collect dried plants to make manure from it.
