>>BTW, Dileepji, Idukki (see link that Prasad posted) has **NOT** been operating anywhere NEAR 780 MW so has no call to release even 200 cusec. Sir, the release was to avoid the level going beyond the MSL. No relation to generation capacity. Generation in April-June will be low because being summer,...

CSIR completes Tejas HUD development. https://twitter.com/strategic_front/status/1031259534591967233?s=19 I don't get it!! The MK1 HUD is in production already. The MK2 HUD is in PDR stage. So, what goes NOW? History shows that the CSIO HUD beat all the competition hands down, and withstood pressur...

I got some more data point: At full capacity of 780MW, the Idukki power generator will consume around 200 Cumecs of water. this water gets to the Muvattupuzha river, and probably the flood in that river has contribution from this water. Mullaperiyar system can output 2500cusecs (71 cumecs) to the cu...

Information on Power Cuts (Source Urja App of NPP):

Average duration of power cut : 0.46Hrs/Month. National Average is 8.32 Hrs/Month. Rank: 3rd in India.

So, if some place at 3-Shiv-Nation have 2 hours power cut, you have data from last millennia, or there is a local problem.

OK.. Here is the facts on KSEB as on Aug 15th. Source National Power Portal Total Installed Capacity: 2041.46 MW Hydro Capacity: 1881.5 MW Hydro Capacity under outage: 320MW (Idukki 130/780, Lower Periyar 120/180, Sabarigiri 100/300, Sengulam 24/48, Sholayar 18/54). Total 17% under outage. The natio...

UB Sir.. Basic dosconnect 1: The 'Bhageeratha Prayatnam' was for diverting Idukki water, not Mullaperiyar water. I feel you TL;DR my post.

What do I propose (FWIW)? I do not believe any of these "first world solutions" will work, because we are still Kerala, with the Neta-Babu nexus. My firm take is that events like this can not be prevented, but we can prepare to have a much better and efficient response. People did not have...

UB Sir, I take that you accept my points. In our school days, we even ha a 'kunnathunadan bhasha' for gurus accepting points made by shishyas. അറ്റ കൈ: "ഇരിയെടാ അവിടെ!" (Rough translation: Last Resort: "You! Sit Down!".) Aquifiers do work. But you do know that most of Kerala have...

UB Sir, there was a proposal for the Mullaperiyar problem, which is to make a tunnel at a much lower level, to drain off all water early and maintain low level in the dam. It is readily rejected by the CMO like this. "Adey Kuppuchamee, antha Kerala "Dam Sef Onlee" letter kaappi anuppi...

Dileep

UB Sir, I never said neither is impossible. I would never say that against something you said. But I have some little issues on the "take water east" idea. 1. You still need a dam to hold water. It need not hold a lot of water, but dam nevertheless. 2. Let us assume that we build a 100ft t...

There is another depression starting somewhere near 18.44° N, 87.56° E as per wind map. Right now, it is pulling winds over northern coast (Goa and north) If it moves south, then we will have the next problem in our hands. Yet another variable to watch.

Dileep

Singha, the flood is NOT near coastal area. It is in the Midlands. Even in Kochi, the focus area is Aluva.
Hovercrafts might work in the current situation I think, but we do not have any fleet. Do we?

Dileep

HN, thanks for all the inputs. It is nice to know that people like you are involved at the centre of things. Mullaperiyar & Idamalayar dam spillway should be routed via pumps directly into Arabian Sea instead of dumping into Idukki dam & lower lying areas resp. Fantastic idea!! I have a bett...

Dileep

This notion that the flood happened due to dam opening is WRONG!! Till 16th afternoon, that was the case, but the flood generally stayed in the expected path. What happened after 16th afternoon is that the dams were discharging water at the same rate as being receiving. They were at max capacity, so...

And hey, if you planned for 100 year events, There would have been Salt Valley instead of Silicon Valley.

Dileep

The comment on TN CM was on his attitude on the water level of Mullaperiyar. First of all, in accordance with the declared policy, the dam officials sat tight till the level reached the supreme court sanctioned 142 ft, and once it reached (Almost) there, they simply opened the gates, getting upto 13...

This "man made disaster" thing is utter bullshit!! This is not a problem of a clogged storm drain flooding a basement. Imagine three to four thousand cubic metres of water coming every second through a channel that is 200+ metres wide!! That is what we got here. Once it gets to the plains,...

^^Your support means what it is worth! Sir! This is the Floods thread onlee. The cause is heavy and incessant rains all over the state, due to a depression in the Bay of Bengal.

It is not just ADA. They are just a cog (well, a central one, no doubt) in the whole system. You are asking for "accountability"? Let me ask, where is the "authority"? Accountability doesn't work without authority. ADA have no authority over any of the contributing agencies. That...

ADA faces severe resource shortage. It is a surprise that they get done what they do. You should also remember that it is pure passion that keeps these wonderful people with the organization. Is this due to lack of good candidates applying or just due to govt rules on recruitement tying their hands...

Actually, order had been placed with some of the participant organizations for MK1A equipment some time ago, and they are now warming up now.

LCA cost more most likely because all the fixed costs are amortized into the 83 units. Ask HAL for 284 units and see the price fall!!

Dileep

MK1 is 'pretty decent' to build, but no way approach the desirable manufacturability levels. One of the driving factors behind MK1A concept is improve this issue. Things are not at all modular, so everything must be built in place at the integration station. Ideally, it should have been possible to ...

It all depends upon the person who will be in charge, and the mission he is given.

If the mission is to "churn out as many birds as possible", and the guy have no zeal to put his mark on the plane, things will work. On the other hand, think about Matheswaran V 2.0 taking the chair
