Climate change: Fresh water demand increases, river valley system will change, startling fact


New delhi date. 26 November 2022, Saturday

If the glaciers located in the high Himalayan areas of the state melt faster in the future due to climate change, it may have serious consequences. Future planning will be done from now on to deal with this problem. Rapidly melting glaciers will change entire ecosystems of lowland river basins, while demand for fresh water continues to rise.

A stakeholder meeting on glacio-hydrological modeling and IWRM planning for the Bhagirthi basin and its sub-basins was held on Friday by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). SDC is working on 'Strengthening Climate Change and Adaptation in the Himalayas (SCA-Himalaya) Project' during 2020-24. It also includes state directorate of environment protection and climate change.

In the meeting, the officials emphasized that the demand for water in all sectors including agriculture, industrial and domestic will increase in the future. So to maintain its continuity, scientific aspects have to be considered from now on. The Himalayas are the largest source of water availability in the country, but its glaciers are melting rapidly due to climate change. For this, all the Himalayan states need to work on Integrated Water Resource Management from now on.

In this meeting, IFS SP Subudhi, Neena Grewal, Executive Director, State Disaster Management Authority Dr. Piyush Rautela, Deputy Head SDC Divya Sharma, Team Leader Riddhima Sood, THDC DGM AK Singh, NIH Scientist Sanjay Jain, CWC SE Rajesh Kumar, were present. Sudmana Girish Joshi, Rahul Jugran etc were present.

Well, authorities in France, Sri Lanka and Mauritius are also starting to like the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for money transactions.

Image
New York, August 28, 2020, Friday The theory of soul and paramatman is centuries old. Each religion and culture has its own set of beliefs. Research published in the journal The American Society for Psychic Research in 1904 discusses the experiment with the soul after death. Surprisingly, a story in the New York Times about a doctor named Duncan weighing his soul is still remembered today. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1918, Dr. Duncan MacDonald moved to Massachusetts, USA, when he was 20 years old. After completing his studies at the University of Houston's School of Medicine, he spent much of his life treating people at a charitable hospital in the city of Haverill. He weighed the soul with a weighbridge weighing 31 grams, a Fairbanks imported from China years ago. Dunk used no speculation or conjecture for this. Dr. Duncan McDougall made a special kind of bed with a very light weight frame. The bed was fitted with trajectories kept in the hospital. He balanced the scales in ...

Airplane mode will not be indispensable during flights in Europe

Whether it is safe or not to use electronic gadgets like smartphones , tablets or laptops in a flying plane has been a subject of constant debate. There is a view that these devices, especially when mobile connectivity is on, interfere with the signal from the plane to the air control tower on the ground. This is why in an ongoing flight it is allowed to turn on airplane mode in various devices and then do any kind of work in these devices. However, many people have experienced that even if they forget to turn on airplane mode during an ongoing flight and continue their work, the plane does not crash! This experience of people is now being supported by experts and maybe that is why it will not be mandatory to turn on airplane mode in flights in European Union countries from June next year. According to a new decision by the European Union, airlines will now be able to offer 5G mobile connectivity on flights and passengers will be able to continue operating with 5G connectivity on t...
