Barrages would prevent Polavaram dam from being an economic and environmental disaster : Analysis reveal
Posted on 12 Jan, 2010 02:20 PMProf.T.Shivaji Rao,
Director, Centre for Environmental Studies,
Gitam University, Visakhapatnam.
Historical Developments: Initially the Polavaram project was proposed as a storage reservoir with FRL at +150ft with a water storage of about 150TMC in 1941. Subsequently many changes were made and in 1948 it emerged as Rampada Sagar dam with FRL at +208ft. with water storage of 836 TMC including 150 MW of hydro-power generation at an estimated cost of 129 crores (at 1948 rates) This scheme was abandoned because it was too costly and was bristled with foundation and construction problems. Subsequently several expert committees were appointed by the Government of India to study the problems of Godavari water utilisation. These committees under the Chairmanship of Dr.A.N. Khosla (1953), Mr.Gulhati (1963) and Mr.A.C.Mitra (1965) suggested to the state Government to build a barrage at Polavaram for improving the irrigation facilities and also to divert Godavari flood water into Krishna river. https://www.thehindu.com/2009/05/02/stories/2009050260540600.htm
The solar power generator in future:Barmer, Rajasthan
Posted on 11 Jan, 2010 06:28 PMBarmer district is situated at the 71° 23' East Longitude and 25° 45' North Latitude in west of state Rajasthan and country India. Total area is 28387 km2. Even 1% of this area can produce 24GWh electrical energy per year. The average sun shines for 340 days a year. The Sun gives light energy @ 1KW per square meter at 25 ° cell (solar cell) temperature and 1.5 air mas The solar insolation is 2400KWh per year. This means that if we install 1KW solar power plant at home, we can get energy of 2400KWh per year. This amount of energy is sufficient for average house hold. Besides this small power plant we can construct big plants in the range of 1MW to 500MW or more. These big plants can be grid connected for further supply to destinations. Though the energy cost of generated electricity is Rs.15/- per KWh, but it is pollution free energy. 1KW solar plant saves 0.8tones carbon. The solar energy is not only environmental friendly, but it also generates employments. The land owners can be made partner for that power plant.The secret of solar power plant is that it can be constructed in 1KW, 2Kw, -----1MW, 10MW ,100MW and so on
