The dam dynamics applied to the Seemanchal Express accident site tracks on 2 February 2019 in the form of vertically downward acceleration, m/s/s and shock input temperature, K are shown in the Figures below.

Fig 1.

 

Fig 2.

1.1 Some fraction of these values which are computed as if all the energy was converted to kinetic energy (Vertically downward acceleration,m/s/s) or to Shock impulse input temperature,K would have appeared  on the tracks to cause track breakages. Applying the precautionary principle, we should on a war footing see the implications of these findings of dam dynamics and phase out the dams and replace them by Analogous ecological reforestation Reforestation combined with judicious tree planting involving people through people’s cooperatives.

1.2 The corresponding Table of detailed calculations follows:
