Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of the various environmental issues. There is no agreement on the extent of the environmental impact of human activity, and protection measures are occasionally criticized.  -==History== -The 1609 Baronial Map first depicts the townland, giving it the name "Killycluggin''.<ref>National Archives Dublin: [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/mpf1-58.pdf]</ref><ref>[http://www.templeport.ie/pages/1609-TP-Baronial-Map.html]</ref> It was subsequently shown on the 1665 Down Survey map and also began featuring in their prints.<ref>Trinity College Dublin: [http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Tullaghhagh&c=Cavan&indexOfObjectValue=-1&indexOfObjectValueSubstring=-1 The Down Survey of Ireland.]</ref> +Academic institutions now offer courses, such as environmental studies, environmental management and environmental engineering, that teach the history and methods of environment protection. Protection of the environment is needed due to various human activities. Waste production, air pollution, and loss of biodiversity (resulting from the introduction of invasive species and species extinction) are some of the issues related to environmental protection. Environmental protection is influenced by three interwoven factors: environmental legislation, ethics and education. Each of these factors plays its part in influencing national-level environmental decisions and personal-level environmental values and behaviors. For environmental protection to become a reality, it is important for societies to develop each of these areas that, together, will inform and drive environmental decisions. An environment consists of all the things like the living and the non living things in it. It can be classified as natural environment and Built environment. One has to keep some points in mind while writing an environment essay. One can define the natural environment as something that has been in existence for long and the built is the one that has been created by man. One can get more information from the Nature and Environment Essay. -Killycluggin is best known for the [[Killycluggin Stone]], situated in a stone circle on Bannon's farm. Due to common belief that the stone's decorations represent [[Crom Cruach]], a pre-Christian pagan god of Ireland, Killycluggin is known as the site where Crom Cruach became recognised. The stone became significant to the town on 23 June 1610 when [[The Plantation of Ulster]] along with King [[James VI and I]] decided to grant "Two polls of Kilclogen to Hugh Culme esquire, as part of the Manor of Calva." It was due to this motion that Clume surrendered his interest in Killycluggin to Walter Talbot of [[Ballyconnell]]. Talbot died on 26 June 1625 in Ballyconnell and his son, James Talbot, inherited the Killycluggin lands. He was ten years old at the time. +=== RAINWATER HARVESTING === +Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off. Its uses include water for garden, water for livestock, water for irrigation, water for domestic use with proper treatment, and indoor heating for houses etc. In many places the water collected is just redirected to a deep pit with percolation. The harvested water can be used asdrinking water as well as for storage and other purpose like irrigation. -In 1635, James married Helen Calvert, the daughter of [[George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore]]. The couple had a son, George Talbot. +==== ADVANTAGES ==== +Rainwater harvesting provides an independent water supply during regional water restrictions and in developed countries is often used to supplement the main supply. It provides water when there is a drought, can help mitigate flooding of low-lying areas, and reduces demand on wells which may enable ground water levels to be sustained. It also helps in the availability of potable water as rainwater is substantially free of salinity and other salts. -In the aftermath of the [[Irish Rebellion of 1641]], James Talbot's estate in Ballyconnell was confiscated in the Cromwellian [[Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652]] because of Talbot's Catholic faith. He was later granted an estate in 1655 at Castle Rubey, [[County Roscommon]] as replacement. James died in 1687, upon which the lands at Killycluggin were divided between Dorby Don, John Reade, and Thomas Teddy. +==== QUALITY ==== +Rainwater harvesting provides an independent water supply during regional water restrictions and in developed countries is often used to supplement the main supply.

George named this estate Ballyconnell in honor of his native town in Cavan. George was later appointed surveyor-general of Maryland in 1683. - -After the Cromwellian settlement, Killycluggin went on to a man named John Blachford. John was born in 1598 in Ashmore, [[Dorset]], England. He was the son of Richard and Frances Blachford. John became a merchant in Dorchester, Dorset, but fled to France in 1633 when facing a warrant from the Exchequer for not paying customs. Wedding bells sang yet again when John married a woman named Mary Renald, who was from Devon. Following their marriage, the couple bore four sons: John, Thomas, Ambrose, and William), as well as two daughters: Mary and Frances. - -John died in [[Lissanover]], County Cavan in 1661. Despite wishing to be buried back in Dorchester, he was buried in St. Orvins, Dublin. Following his death, John's will was published on 9 January 1665, leaving his son, John Blachford, as his sole heir. Following the publication, an inquisition was held in Cavan on 21 May 1667. This inquisition found that his widow, Mary Blachford as well as his son John were to be seized of, inter alia, the land of ''Killeclogine alias Killecragan. - -Upon his father's death, John's son William went on to become a Major. He then dedicated a monument to his father before dying in Lissanover on 28 March 1727. The Blachford family gravestones in Templeport Church read as follows: ''This monument was erected by MAJOR WILLIAM / BLASHFORD of Lisnover in 1721 to the memory of / his father, JOHN BLASHFORD, late of the same Esqr. but / from Dorchester in Dorsetshire, the place of his / nativity, who in his lifetime chose this for a burying / place, for himself and family, but died in Dublin / was buried in St. Orvins Church but his wife, MARY / RENALD of a Devonsheire family is buried here / as also three sons and two daughters, viz JOHN / AMBROSE AND THOMAS; MARY AND FRANCES / Here likewise lies buried two wives of MAJOR WILLIAM BLASHFORD, son to the said JOHN BLASHFORD viz / MARY MAGHEE of an ancient Family in Lincolnsheire.

This would facilitate availability of uncontaminated water for domestic, industrial and irrigation needs.
