Assessment of Krishna river basin closure
Posted on 25 Jul, 2014 12:47 AMIn recent years, water is being extracted from all available sources to satisfy society's growing demands. River basins are mined limitless at various locations. This leads to the basin becoming closed, which means that no more utilizable flow is left in the basin.

Holi-Bajoli hydropower project shifts banks
Posted on 21 Jul, 2014 04:59 AMI could just about see a small makeshift shelter with a yellow canopy. As I made my way through the small stream and climbed uphill, I saw a JCB machine trying to clear a path. Further up the road, female voices speaking the local dialect started to emerge. A small hearth surrounded by utensils and jars of tea, sugar and lentils greeted me at the entrance.
