Agricultural water management in the Philippines is primarily focused on irrigation. The country has 3.126 million hectares of irrigable land, 50% (1.567 million hectares) of which already has irrigation facilities. 50% of irrigated areas are developed and operated by the government through the National Irrigation System (NIS). 36% is developed by the government and operated by irrigators ...
The term carboy itself usually refers to a 5 US gal (19 L) carboy, unless otherwise noted. A 1 imp gal (4.5 L) carboy is sometimes called a jug. A 15 US gal (57 L) carboy is usually called a demijohn (in the Philippines, dama juana [10]). In Britain, "demijohn" refers to a 1-imperial-gallon (4.5 L) glass brewing vessel.
The Balara Filter 1, operational since 1935, has a treatment capacity of 470 million liters (120,000,000 U.S. gal) per day. On the other hand, Balara Filter 2 has been operational since 1958 and treats 1,130 million liters (300,000,000 U.S. gal) of water daily. Both treatment plants deliver water to Metro Manila's eastern area.
An elevated water tank, also known as a water tower, will create a pressure at the ground-level outlet of 1 kPa per 10.2 centimetres (4.0 in) or 1 psi per 2.31 feet (0.70 m) of elevation. Thus a tank elevated to 20 metres creates about 200 kPa and a tank elevated to 70 feet creates about 30 psi of discharge pressure, sufficient for most ...
The water is stored in balloon-like inflatable tanks the company calls Water Trees, which stand 39 feet tall and resemble giant onions, each contained in a durable plastic membrane held secure by ...
An 80 US gal (300 L; 67 imp gal) electric storage tank water heater was able to have a minimum energy factor of 86% under the pre-2015 standard, while under the 2015 standard, the minimum energy factor for an 80-gallon electric storage tank water heater is now 197%, which is only possible with heat pump technology. This rating measures ...
World's largest concentrated solar power plant with molten salt storage built in 3 phases - 160 MW phase 1 with 3 hours heat storage, 200 MW phase 2 with 7 hours heat storage and 150 MW phase 3 with 7.5 hours heat storage.

The solutions are quite corrosive towards mild steel (up to 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) per year on C1010 steel) and are therefore generally equipped with a corrosion inhibitor to protect tanks, pipelines, nozzles, etc. Urea–ammonium nitrate solutions should not be combined with calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN-17) or other solutions prepared from ...
