MODERN HISTORY

1-The Indus Valley Civilization in water conservation.

The ancient Indus cities were renowned for their well-organized urban layouts, structures made of baked bricks, intricate drainage and water supply systems, groupings of substantial non-residential structures, and the practice of skilled craftsmanship and metallurgy. Mohenjo-daro and Harappa are believed to have possibly accommodated populations ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 inhabitants, and at the height of its development, the civilization may have encompassed a populace ranging from one to five million individuals.

A team of geo-technical engineers from IIT-Gandhinagar, along with an archaeologist from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to scan the area and found an intricate system of interconnected water reservoirs, bunds, channels, drains, and checkdams buried 2.5 meters beneath the ground. This discovery suggests that the Harappans may have had advanced knowledge of water management and conservation.

Two significant theories emerged from the GPR data. First, the Harappans might have known how to reduce the turbidity of floodwaters by diverting silt-laden water through interconnected small reservoirs, allowing sediments to settle before reaching a large eastern reservoir for consumption. Second, they may have been adept at controlling floodwaters by building checkdams and specialized water channels, reducing the velocity of water before it entered the main eastern reservoir.

This historical engineering marvel demonstrates early practices in water conservation and sustainable water management, shedding light on the innovative approaches taken by ancient civilizations to address their water needs.

In summary, the discovery of advanced water management systems in the ancient Indus cities of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa is a testament to the knowledge and skills of the Indus civilization. Their ability to reduce turbidity, control floods, and manage water resources through an interconnected structure underscores the historical significance of water conservation practices that resonate with today's challenges.

Saturday June 13 2020JAKARTA - A 19-year-old teenager became a victim in the flood disaster in Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi Province, which occurred since Friday (12/06/2020) afternoon at 16.00 WITA.According to a report from the Bantaeng Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the victim on behalf of Haerul (L) has been declared missing and has not yet been found. In addition, some residents were also forced to flee to safer and provided places."Based on the chronology, the flood occurred because it was triggered by high intensity rain since 15.00 WITA in the upstream area in the mountains," said Head of BNPB Disaster Information and Communication Data Center, Raditya Jati, Saturday (06/13/2020).The high rainfall also caused the Calendu River water discharge to overflow and the Balang Sikuyu Checkdam to burst on the right side. As a result, a number of areas and residential areas and other public facilities were flooded.According to an updated BPBD report in Bantaeng Regency, floods with a water level of 20-150 centimeters inundated 2 sub-districts and 5 sub-districts.The details are the Bontos Really Village, Bontowatu Village and Bontorita Village in Bissappu District. Then Palantikang Village and Tapanjeng Village in Bantaeng District.Bantaeng Regency BPBD has coordinated with Basarnas, Social Service, Health Service, Kodim, TNI / Polri and related agencies for providing logistical assistance and medicines.Public kitchens have been established in two locations namely, in Bantaeng District and Bissappu District. Meanwhile, other urgent needs that are still needed are logistics and food, clothing, blankets, medicines and velbed or folding mattresses.Until this news was reported, the floods in Bantaeng had gradually receded.
