Modern Civilization’s Consequence: COVID19 PANDAMIC and geomorphological unknowable changes including climate change
© 2021 Ramaswami Ashok Kumar
Regarding the newsreport
Modern civilization is new to nature and hence suicidal(1).
When I was serving some 5 decades ago I was as grave as
the PM in pushing through hydros. Then after I became involved with projects I
was told convincingly by a very senior colleague of mine that in an
international conference on hydros, how people concerned with our well being
held sway and the day belonged to them and that even hardline engineers were convinced that hydros were devastating and totally
destructive of nature. The natural
balance will be totally destroyed when we divide the river in the natural basin
by a dam into something new to nature- dead waters behind the dam- upstream and a
bizzare region downwards called the area where riparian rights will have to be
fought over – for sufficient water to survive- a dead ecologically and evolutionarily
dead area. This my senior colleague said dramatically- the death of ecology and
a complete geomorphology of unknowable consequences. It is not just the
catastrophic transformation of the 276 MW of dams that is the contribution that
is the worry, but the entire World Dam Dynamics suddenly being applied at a
location of its choice- a dynamics that applies the entire weight of the world
dam contents suddenly at the location, not only this but something much much
more which is at the heart of climate change in the dam era—the leverage on the
choice location exerted by the entire
world dam contents acting through their centre of gravity( latitude 26,
longitude 96) resulting in millions of
degrees centigrade direct heating up of the earth and a mass movement of
something like that created by at least 1000 one megaton hydrogen bombs
exploding! See the geomorphological monster which unfolded in Uttarkhand’s
Chamoli on June 15 2013 detailed in all its fury at Ramaswami Ashok Kumar.

Note that the consequences are not only regional as in
the case described above but also worldwide in the form of epidemics like the
American Flu Pandemic of 1918 and the presently ongoing COVID 19 pandemic- all
entirely new to nature brought about by stopping natural evolution in its
tracks or snapping of ecological bonds in river ecology of a basin or basins.
