MAx flood discharge is based on past data at the time of design and therefore most of our dams and bridges may not be in tune with these types of flash floods occuring one off in a large duration.No design will take into consideration such freak...

It is too simplistic to discount earlier dam designs as 'OLD' technology and tout 'NEW' technology. What is 'NEW' today, will be 'OLD' tomorrow, but a dam will be built to last over 100 years. In fact, some of the OLD technology may be the...

The Andhra Pradesh government, on Sunday, asked the villagers living on the banks of river Krishna to vacate their villages as the area is expected to face critical flood situation following the release of water in the river. The irrigation department released 10.5 lakh cusecs of water from Nagarjunasagar at 1000 hrs on Sunday. The water is expected to reach Prakasam barriage at Vijayawada by midnight. Panchayat Raj Minister Botsa Satyanarayana told reporters that if the 10.5 lakh cusecs of water from Nagarjunasagar reached Vijayawada by Sunday night, it would worsen the flood situation. He said the government had identified 15 more villages as vulnerable in addition to the 42 villages alr...

This is a story from web : One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back. Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically weak? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened - Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the next. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the...
