One of the key arguments in support of damming rivers across geographies has been the idea that useful water will otherwise ‘go waste into the sea’. Dam, dam, dam has been policy in India for the last many decades and coupled with changing land use, increased industrialization, and pollution, dams have changed the riverscape of the country in ways that cannot be imagined. Landscapes and riverscapes have been altered so dramatically that today’s India might be a different country from the one we inherited in 1947. Virtually no river today flows freely to the sea.
The correct answer is C
A boat can travel 42 km downstream in 60 min. The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 5: 2. How much time will t...
A man can row at 7 kmph in still water. If the velocity of current is 5 kmph and it takes him 7 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place?
Speed of a Motorboat in still water is 75kmph. If the motorboat travels 150 km along the stream in 1 hour 40 minutes, then the time taken by it to cover...
A man can row at 4 kmph in still water. If the velocity of current is 2 kmph and it takes him 8 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place?
The total time taken by a boat to cover a certain distance in downstream and the same distance in upstream is 10 hours. The same boat can cove...
A boat can row downstream at 24 km and upstream 16 km in 8 hours. Then what is the velocity of the current ?
If the sum of upstream and downstream speed is 26 km/hr and the speed of the current is 5 km/hr. Then find time taken to cover 72 km in downward?
Speed of a boat in still water to speed of boat in upstream is 9:5. If the boat can travel 390 km in downstream in 5 hours, then find the time taken by ...
The speed of the boat in still water is 12 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 9 km/hr. A boat goes 84 km downstream with its usual speed but at the ti...
Find the total distance covered by boat in each upstream and downstream in 7 hours if the speed of boat in still water and speed of current is 25 km/h a...
