Methane: A Need of Hour
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Methane is a green house gas, its presence in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature and climate system. The mean monthly Flux rate of methane (CH4) were measured for two years fromSolahSagar Pond, Grassland, Agricultural field and Forest in Ujjain and Indore city, Madhya Pradesh. The flux rates were then averaged to compute seasonal and annual flux rates. Results showed that the wetland is a continuous source of CH4(718-2086 mg m-2 d -1 ). Agricultural field is also found to be the emitter of CH4 (-0.32-8.75 mg m-2 d -1 ). In contrast, the natural habitats forest and grassland are found to be the strongest absorber for methane (- 7.78 to -13.83 mg m-2 d -1 ),(-4.70 to -11.66 mg m-2 d -1 ). The effect of different water-sediments-soil property variables on methane fluxes were also quantified. CH4 emissions were positively, negatively and significantly correlated with factors like organic matter, moisture. The study concluded that the natural system should we maintained and minimization strategies should be opted for controlling methane, a green house gas.
