Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

ELEMENTS OF SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT
CONTROL OF RESERVOIR SEDIMENTATION
DESILTING METHOD
CONCLUSION
REFRENCE
3. The geologic conditions that exist at and in the vicinity of
every proposed dam and reservoir should be known and
understood by those responsible for its planning and design.
The principal elements that must be considered are
Geomorphology
Hydrology
Hydrogeology
Geology
4. Geomorphology
In the geological sense, geomorphology in the reservoir should
be stable and the configuration of the land surface, and it includes
the location, size, and shape of such physical features as hills, ridges
valleys, streams, and Lakes.
Topographic maps show these features .
Hydrology
Hydrology is the science relating to the water of the earth , its
distribution and its phenomena. To be successful, a dam and reservoir
project must have an adequate and continuous supply of water suitable
for theory intended uses of the reservoir. Hydrologic information and
investigation will be required in varying degree, depending upon the
size of the project . The annual rainfall, the ratio of watershed area to
reservoir area, and the volume of stream flow at all seasons of the year
must be known.
5. Hydrogeology
Hydrogeology to determine whether ground water would
contribute to the reservoir or whether the reservoir would lose
water to the ground-water system is also essential. The
reservoir capacity and maximum and minimum reservoir yield
also must be known so that commitments for water will not
exceed the quantity of water available.
Geology
It has been said that construction of a dam and reservoir causes
more interference with natural conditions than does any other civil
engineering operation. Knowledge of the geological situation is
essential as a basis for sound engineering, especially in the
investigation of dam and reservoir sites, for an error in geological
interpretation or the failure to discover some relatively minor
geologic detail may be costly and sometimes Hazardous.
6. Reduce sediment inflow
sediment delivery to the reservoir can be reduced by techniques such
as erosion control and upstream sediment trapping.
Route sediments
Some or all of the inflowing sediment load may be hydraulically
routed beyond the storage pool by techniques such as drawdown
during sediment-laden floods, off-stream reservoirs, sediment bypass,
and venting of turbid density currents.
Sediment removal
Deposited sediments may be periodically removed by hydraulic
flushing, hydraulic dredging, or dry excavation.
7. Provide large storage volume
Reservoir benefits may be considered sustainable if a
storage volume is provided that exceeds the volume of
the sediment supply in the watershed. The required
sediment storage volume may be included within the
reservoir pool or in one or more impoundments.
Sediment placement
Focus sediment deposition in areas where its
subsequent removal is facilitated, or where it minimizes
interference with reservoir operation. Configure intakes
and other facilities to minimize interference from
transported or deposited sediments...
8. Check Dam
check dam is a small dam, which can be either temporary or
permanent, built across a minor channel, swale, bioswale, or
drainage ditch. Similar to drop structures in purpose, they
reduce erosion and gullying in the channel and allow
sediments and pollutants to settle.
10. Essential measures to alleviate the sedimentation of
reservoirs are to reduce the sediment entering the channel
and increase the sediment flushing rate. Some efficient
measures are listed in follows.
18. Geological investigation well done before the planning
and design of any reservoir/Dam.
Elements of Sediment Management are Reduce
sediment inflow, Route removal, Provide large storage
value, sediment placement, afforestation,checkdam.
There is no doubt that India’s water storage reservoir
are silting up.
Silt deposits have reduced the water storage capacity
by 30-40 % in major Dams.
The desilting in any reservoir in the region is to carried
out only during the Summer season .
