    Our country has different regions ranging from Thar Desert to SAL RANN of KUTCH to CHERAPUNDJI where 400” rains every year on average. I f we can divert those rain water to other rivers of dry region and perform a network of canals joining the rivers of all India, not only we divert flood waters but also provide water for areas scarcity. Also in case of flooding area can be saved of such disasters happening now.

    Also these water channels will make water ways for transport of goods to save energy and reduce carbon dioxide. Also helps to increase productions of agriculture and food scarcity will be eliminated. Will also help hydroelectric projects to produce energy, instead of wasting such water during overflows.

    Originally Dr Vishwesharaiya had a thinking of such canal system when he designed the Krishna Sagar dam in Mysore during the time of British colonial time. but later it was put on a side with independence. but now we should rethink of it
    Weather pattern runs in cycles of floods/famine of 30-40 years and world weather cycle of 120 years (accordingly based on the scientific tree ring study – wider rings in tree in good rain and narrow in droughts time) – I have all data in my library. And based to that 120 years cycle is approaching in next decade. So we have to be prepared during this decade and also that will be helpful to regulate water in floods and droughts.

    RIVER @ BAGPAT 35 km North of Delhi, YAMUNA River ground level =211 meters from sea level
    The Baghpat city is located on the banks of river Yamuna at 28 deg 57′ North Latitude and 77 deg 13′ East Longitude. It is 52 KM from Meerut City and is on the main Delhi–Saharanpur Highway around 40 KM from Delhi

    Presently we have few canals from those places but not for divert the water but to agriculture purpose. We can not use those canals as those regions are already flooded. We need BIG CANALS to divert this river flow to right places by Canal network. We can do as required if we have these system of canal network in position. But unluckily we are not prepared yet.

    RIVER KHARI @ DISA Banaskantha River ground level =114 meters from sea level and the DISTANCE 709 Km giving a 97 meter height difference (giving a slope of canal about 14.6 cm /km)
    DISA is located on the banks of Khari river at 24 deg 15′ North Latitude and 72 deg 09′ East Longitude.

    RIVER KHARI @ SIHORI 45 km south of DISA River ground level =70 meters from sea level and the DISTANCE 754 Km will give more gradient to the canal from Bagpat giving a 1.5 times height difference of 141 meter (giving a slope of canal about 18.7 cm /km) further 40 km south near

    RADHANPUR ground level reach to only 40 meters from sea level to give even better gradient about 21.5 cm /km slope of for the canal.
    Here we are using all gravitational water diversions only and save energy and utilising water in proper way.

    Present Indus flooding is also due to miss management of the water flows of the river and trying to tame the river waters. 4500 years ago Harappa and MohenjoDaro civilisation also used the correct way to keep the flow in most efficient way so as to avoid flooding. They used canals to divert water to reservoirs and kept the river water flow clear without obstruction.
    Presently we have obstructed natural water flows of rivers and obstructed to make more flooding. If we see the present situation in Indus and Gangatic plains we see the water flow have been obstructed and that have cause the flooding in the areas of river banks.

    There has been records of two cycles of weather in KUTCH. Though a mini cycle of 3 years of good and bad rain is known as short term periods as we are aware of in our regular life time.

    But a major cycle of droughts and very Good Rain cycle are different e.g. 40 years of cycles of major droughts (e.g.
    1, CHHAPANOVikram Sanvant 1956= 1900AD and 2nd 1940 KUTCH FAMINE CHHANAVO Vikram Sanvant 1996=
    1940AD) affecting most parts of western Monsoon system and also has Good Monsoon of 30 years cycle. both of those weather cycles falls in 120 years world weather cycle studied scientifically with rings in tree trunks. as good rain makes a ring wider expanding growth and narrows in famines. (30×4 cycle=120 years=3×40 cycle)

    CHHAPANO 1956 VS= 1900/01 famine has been recorded in major parts of the world tree records. and if cycle is repeating after 120 years Major world dropout is possible in next few years after next decade!

    Similarly Earthquake patterns may be in series of multiples f some numbers according to study and predictions that the earthquake id overdue and can happen any time in Tibetan plate. But do not know when. The Earth quake in Anjar happened in 1956 and followed in the region in 2001 with a rhythmicity of multiples of the 45 years which is again a multiples of 5×9 series . But we do not have complete record of such in the region but 1819 earthquake was approximately about 3X45=135 years back (1956-1819=137)

    I would like to see the 120 years data which you mentioned above.

    i want know is it rann of kutch soil is dry now because we want to shoot a movie in first week of october 2012
