Jungle Ideas of Suresh Prabhu
June28, 2014
Science, Technology, Maths, Medicine, Accounting are universal exactly
the same all over the universe but when it is Suresh Prabhu and
Unqualified or Incompetent it is different in India. In fact most
medicines like antibiotics are good for warm blooded animals also.
Instead of learning from the experience of successful and best
application of Science and Technology Indians like Suresh Prabhu want
to introduce most weird ideas while ignoring and discarding globally
accepted practices.
River Linking in 2003 was termed ‘It is like Ganga Cauvery Link Stupid
Idea going on for 40 years, Why Can’t We Produce 30 million tones of
food in Most Fertile Ganga Basin required in South and transport it by
rail than Transfer 50 Billion Tones of Water in Giant 3000 kilometer
canal - most wasting on way’. Prabhu didn’t learn a thing and he told
us River Linking is still on and Supreme Court of India had directed
GOI to constitute a Panel of Experts to Implement it two years ago but
also made Contradictory Remark ‘Pakistan & Bangladesh are inefficient
in food production and India to use water of common rivers and supply
food to them.’
Why not same things in India first?
He did talk of Inviting China in Managing Indus and Brahamputra but
didn’t talk of Hydro Power Development in South Asia that could light
up South Asia and that China had already started building several dams
on Brahamputra.
JUNGLE SOLAR POWER
Even worse was his support for JUNGLE SOLAR POWER – solar farms in
distant places – firstly India has over 30% Transmission Losses and
30% Plus high cost solar power shall be lost in Transmission, Cost of
Supply and Low Load Factor Transmission Infrastructure shall add
substantially to cost of supply and Great Burden on consumers when
Roof Top is the Primary Mode of solar power generation worldwide.
Net Metering is another WEIRD idea. Consumers in USA has over 75 KW
Connections but for 30% to 50% time there is on in homes so Net
Metering in USA is Compulsion but India consumers are at home
practically all day and night don’t need Net Metering.
It is actually a MISCHIEF to deny Consumers Direct Cheapest Power
Generation Option – A Rs.50,000 1 KW Solar Panel shall produce 50,000
Units of power over lifetime or Rs.1 per unit plus some maintenance
cost when serving part day time peak load.
He doesn’t even understand Maths and Accounting. He never tried to
ascertain the Cost of Storing Water in Bhakra Dam over life cycle and
other manmade alternate options.
He said Water Sharing is Very Contentious Issue in South Asia when
region has Three Nuclear Weapon Countries in the region – Most Weird –
with Pakistan India already has a Indus Water Treaty since 1960 and
with China India has made efforts to Jointly Develop Brahamputra.
India need to Share ‘All Benefits of Dam Building’ with Ganga Basin
Nations and States, similarly for lower Brahamputra and Eastern Rivers
of Indus.
When 95% of villages are Grid Connected he was reporting 80%
population without electricity.
Prabhu supported ‘Tradition Water Storage Methods’ though outdated.
Price of Land has gone up 10,000 Times in $ terms since Ponds were
only option to store water for summer months but most unreliable often
drying up before summer.
Lame Duck Hydro Power Development in South Asia
http://www-wds.worldbank.org/servlet/WDSContentServer/IW3P/IB/2008/03/07/000011823_20080307151521/Rendered/PDF/420960BHU0BhutanHydropower.pdf
By using RoR schemes, the projects avoid dams and reservoirs, which
typically pose environmentally and socially complex issues. However,
the absence of water storage structures affects the production regime
of power plants, translating into low firm capacity and low plant load
factors, which negatively affect the value of the power produced by
Bhutan. - WB
Every DPR of projects developed by Corrupt CWC and CEA points to
substantial loss of Energy by High Cost ROR Projects – 60% in all
cases where upstream has no storages. Firstly it is BLUNDER to assume
ROR cause lesser environmental impact than storage projects like
Bhakra – ROR projects require two Dams one at intake and another at
discharge end, Long Tunnels, and underground De-silting Chambers and
Power Houses, Secondly ROR projects take decades to build, Third
operate at 40% load factor and Fourth produce maximum power in monsoon
season when least valued and required but minimum power in winter when
maximum required by hill state or nation. Every DPR Tells of Low PLF,
Prabhu Favored These Lame Duck Dams.
In Punjab with the introduction of Tube-wells less economical Ponds
and Persian wheels were filled up and land saved used for agriculture
and other purposes. For tube-well draws 25 LPS of water or 90 KLPH –
it can fill up a 5000 M3 Pond in 50-60 hours. Press a button to start
the tube-well water starts to run in to plots requiring irrigation
automatically.
But unlike pond or johad tube-well doesn’t require land or lose water
to evaporation and dry up before peak summer days when demand in
highest.
Bhakra Dam too was built in 1963 that generates 6000 million units of
power, 18-20 Billion Cubic Meters of Clean Blue water and provides
flood protection to over 1 million hectares of land. This too is
automatic water flows by gravity in to farms many hundred kilometers
away.
Dams vs Johads – Detailed Comparison
The following table comparing 50 Bhakra Dam versus 15 Million Johads
is instant way to understand the pros and cons of Dams vs Johads.
Items 50 Bhakra Dams 15 Million Johads
1. Live Water Storage 300 BCM 1500 BCM
2. Water for Irrigation 800 BCM Gravity 900 BCM Pumping
3. Submergence Area 1.25m Hectares 15 Million Hectares
4. Earthwork Area Little 30 Million Hectares
5. Food Production Gain 200 million tones 140 million tones
6. Cost Rs.5,00,000 Crores Rs.500,00,000 crores
7. Displaced Population 2 Million 120 Million
8. Power Generation 300 Billion Units (-) 100 Billion Units
9. Flood Control Yes Yes in Villages
10. De-silting Cost Nil for 200 Years V.High Fill Up in 20 Yrs
11. Municipal Water Supply Yes No
12. Clean Energy/ Methane Very High/ Low (-) High / Very High
Specifications of Bhakra Dam In Round Figures – Live Storage 6 BCM,
Submergence 160 sq,km but considered 250 sq,km for 50 dams, 6 BU of
electricity, Average water regulation – 16 BCM.
Specification of a Johad of Bhavarlal H. Jain Plan – 100mx100mx10m(d),
30 Johads per village, 60% of water usable.
When Bhutan has 30,000 MW Hydro Potential, India ought to produce
200,000 MW in Indian Stretch from Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh.
