Due to acute #water shortage in 1972 #Maharashtra was recorded worst #drought in history, but this year is expected to be even worse.


Experts say that 1972 was declared to have been Maharashtra’s worst recorded drought in history. But this year is expected to be even worse. Already, water levels in dams have plunged to less than half their capacity. 


Maharashtra had the largest rainfall deficit — 74 percent below normal in the period from 1 October to 31 December 2018. In Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh as well, the deficit was over 60 per cent. In the rest of the country, the deficit was to the tune of 44 percent.

Farmers in Maharashtra's Beed, Solapur, Jalgaon and Ahmednagar districts are voicing similar concerns. Their situation has been made worse due to the high temperatures during November.

201 talukas in 32 districts of Maharashtra were already facing water scarcity owing to the deficient rainfall from the south-west monsoon. Only four out of 36 districts in the state are outside the grip of drought, an indication of how grim the situation is.

Water is precious. We have to Save Water.

To avoid such scenarios, it's essential to have the right safety measures in place. This article will focus on two of the most commonly used safety tools in high-rise construction: ladders and scaffolding. Ladders are a common sight in many construction sites. They come in various shapes and sizes and can be used for different purposes. Most ladders used in construction work are made of aluminum, which makes them lightweight and easy to move around. When working on a high-rise building, it's essential to use the right type of ladder for the job. For example, extension ladders are great for reaching tall heights, while step ladders are best for shorter tasks. It's also important to ensure that the ladder is stable and secure before use. This can be achieved by placing the ladder on ...

Cooling Tower Water treatment.

Many businesses rely on cooling towers to perform vital services such as air conditioning, manufacturing and electric power generation. But cooling towers also pose several problems in their upkeep that closed systems lack. Chemical control of the water in the cooling tower is critical to your cooling system and the tower’s integrity. Poor pH balance or lackadaisical   #coolingtower   #pHcontrol could result in expensive damage or contamination to your system. Understanding why cooling towers are a prime source of contamination for the system and how to correct problems will help you preserve your system and protect it from harm. Imbalances in cooling tower pH occur because fresh water is composed of more than just oxygen and hydrogen. Minerals dissolved in the water play a significant role in changing the pH of the cooling tower’s water. These minerals can collect and create scale. #Incoolingtowers  the main mineral accumulation is c...
