I dreamt of the rain. The same rain that filled my entire childhood. The same cold rain that showered down on the alleyways that I hid in‚ sloughing the grime off the walls and into whatever small crevice I would have been hiding in. I dreamt of the same drops of rain that poured like stones‚ the same stones that were thrown at the many beggars‚ like myself‚ living in the winding narrow streets of Aquillum. I found myself walking

!! As you know “Dams” are constructed across the water ways to control the flow or raise the level of water. (show the dams in the models Dams are constructed either with earth‚ rock or cement concrete Now a days most of the dams are constructed using concrete which is more expensive. Therefore the cost of construction of even a smaller size dam involves spending of crores of rupees !!!!!! So we should try to reduce the cost of construction of dams without compromising the

Dams are a huge threat to the mighty Salmon of America. Although there are solutions to dams they are not enough to save the species. Salmon are slowly becoming extinct due to dams‚ because dams are cutting off rivers to and from the ocean and preventing them to spawn. Salmon were thriving in the U.S. before hydropower dams were established. Salmon are the most extraordinary fish on the planet‚ they make an extremely long journey that start when they are only a little smelt and finish in adulthood

SOIL Soil is formed at a rate of only 1 cm every 100 to 400 years and it takes 3000 to 12000 years to build enough soil to form productive land. This means that soil is a nonrenewable resource and once destroyed it is gone forever. If we disregard this‚ a time will come when there would not be enough soil left to sustain life on earth‚ because the soil is a necessary growth medium for plants‚ a home for certain insects and animals‚ as well as a medium from which we get minerals‚ such as gold.

hydro power ADVANTAGES: * Once a dam is constructed‚ electricity can be produced at a constant rate. * If electricity is not needed‚ the sluice gates can be shut‚ stopping electricity generation. The water can be saved for use another time when electricity demand is high. * Dams are designed to last many decades and so can contribute to the generation of electricity for many years / decades. * The lake that forms behind the dam can be used for water sports and leisure /

Groundwater dams are structures that intercept or obstruct the natural flow of groundwater and provide storage for water underground. They have been used in several parts of the world‚ notably India‚ Africa and Brazil. Their use is in areas where flows of groundwater vary considerably during the course of the year‚ from very high flows following rain to negligible flows during the dry season. The basic principle of the groundwater dam is that instead of storing the water in surface reservoirs‚ water
