Do you know when and where was the first recorded floods occured ?

In 1923, one of the earliest recorded floods in Lucknow, India, occurred. This year is the centenary year of that event.

Heavy monsoon season rainfall caused the Gomti River to overflow its banks, causing the flood.

The flood wreaked havoc on the city's old city, civil lines, and cantonment areas.

According to the National Disaster Management Authority, major floods occur in India more than once every five years.

Every year, floods affect 75 lakh hectares of land and kill 1,600 people.

With 11,316 fatalities, 1977 saw the greatest number of flood-related deaths.

The Ganga River had the highest flood in 1954, measuring 72,900 m J s“’ whereas the Yamuna River reached a height of 208.57 meters in 2023, the highest ever recorded.

How to generate Small‑Scale Power for Self‑Reliant Farms?

Open your very own WordPress Website (AD) The scope and purpose of Anderson’s manual are to give ordinary farmers enough practical understanding of electricity to design, install, and run their own small plants for lighting, heating, and motive power, using the modest water wheels or farm engines they already possess. Written in an accessible, story‑like style, it aims to demystify electrical technology and show that, under typical farm conditions, a private plant can be both technically feasible and economically comparable to buying a good workhorse. Scope Anderson deliberately narrows his scope to the small, self‑contained farm or cluster of neighboring farms that have access to a minor water‑power site or a gasoline engine, rather than to large commercial utilities or high‑voltage transmission systems. The book ranges from simple explanations of horsepower, head, and flow in a farm stream to the selection and coupling of water wheels and dynamos, sizing storage batteries, and laying...
