Hydroelectric power in India, the weak monsoon in 2012 and the overload on the national power grid

02/11/2010

Lower monsoon rainfall affects the amount of electricity generated from hydroelectric power stations such as the one at the Bhakra Nangal dam in northern India. India depends for about 20% of its energy on hydroelectric power. The delayed monsoon in 2012 may have aggravated the load on the power grid in India with farmers needing to pump water and lower hydroelectric generating capacity.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
