Dams In Vidarbha Region EDIT-WHY- NOW.

Dams in Vidarbha Region. Edit- Why - Now.

How blogs about dams in Vidarbha Region came about.

Our group wanted to go on a picnic to to a lake. I took up the responsibility to locate a suitable place. When I took up that responsibility I did not realise where it would finally lead. 

Checked on Google maps.Lakes, Reservoirs etc which are shown in blue. Satellite view showed surrounding areas. I noticed that almost none of the water bodies were named. So even if you could locate it you could not name it. 

Decided to find the names, then some details about the lakes. I became very involved in searching the names and details about the lakes around Nagpur. During my efforts I came across Water Resources Information System (WRIS) web site. It led me to Bhuvan web sites.

(unfortunately these web sites are now not accessible with earlier links) Between these two sources they had any and every thing about Water resources of India. Wikipedia was there with the list of Major Dams in India  and list of Major Dams in Maharashtra. With these web sites wanted information though readily available compiling  it was was laborious and very time consuming process. My lack of experience in using the computer and the internet further complicated the matters. As I progressed new ideas came which were incorporated in all those blogs which were already done. 

It took me more than a year to complete 33 posts/ blogs containing information about 380 Dams and Reservoirs of  all the 11 districts of Vidarbha Region. 

Finally these 33 blogs were published between January 2013 to August 2013.

Disaster.

Some time during intervening years disaster struck. All my maps and their screen shots, not only of the these 380 dams but also of all blogs on road journeys in India and few to foreign countries from  "Our Travels" went missing. They were lost in cyber space. In place of the link to map and screen shots blog was left with an ugly icon which, when opened, proclaimed 404 error. Map can not be found.

Unfortunately  all the text information of the trip  which was included in the maps itself of "Our Travel" blogs was lost. I have been trying to recreate map of these trips. It is proving to be very difficult task as I have to depend on my fading memory and the data available in the car diaries. Work is going on on those maps for last three years plus and is still far from complete.

 

Dams in Vidarbha Region. Edit- Why - Now.

Though map links and screen shot of dam maps was lost. Luckily the information on the dams was not lost. Even though any time I opened one of the dam blog the ugly missing map icon used to hit as an eye sore. But As i was busy with recreating " Our Travel" maps I did not pay attention to missing maps of Dam blogs.

On 2 Aug 20 I had mail intimating me that 

Irfan Israil sheikh has left a new comment on your post "DAMS IN WARDHA DISTRICT - PART ONE .":

Hello sir my name is Irfan sheikh I am a Ph.D. student. doing research on Bor reservoir if you Have any information related to Bor Dharan kindly contact me on my no. 9730949115

I rang up Mr Sheikh and told him that required information was available on Part Two of Dams in Wardha Dist.

Even though for all these years only one person had some use of my blog, I felt that if ever any one else want to refer to my Dam blogs, he should have proper link to the map and a see a nice screen shot of map with the view of the dam.

 Edits of all the 33 blogs and 380 dams have been carried out between 02 August 2020 to end September 2020. 

Not only the missing map screen shots and map links have been added, text has also been edited where considered necessary. 

Information about dams which was not available earlier has been added.
