Possibility of Tidal Hydro-Electricity in Gangetic Delta.
Some time back, it was announced by the All-India Radio from its Calcutta Centre that the Government of West Bengal was considering the possibility of Generation of electricity from the tidal wave of the Bay of Bengal.

The Population of the State of West Bengal is increasing in a galloping speed. During the last census period between 1951 and 1961, the population has increased from 2,6302,386 to 3,49,26,279, the increase being 32.7 per cent. As the existing resources of the country is already limited, the problem of procuring food for this ever increasing population is becoming a growing headache.- "Soil Mechanics and Failure of Hydraulic Structures"

In the West Bengal during the second quarter of the present century, heavy damages, to two of the major hydraulic structures of the Damodar Canal System due to movement of soil from beneath their foundation, were experienced.- Development of the City of Calcutta

The well known proverbs that the City of Rome was not built in a day is not perhaps literally applicable to the City of Calcutta. This city as we find to day was developed so quickly and speedily from a group of tiny villages to the enviable position under the proud designation of "The City of Palaces," that it virtually challenged the efficacy of the said proverb.- Soil Mechanics and Failure of Hydraulic Structure

Whatever structure a Civil Engineer may be called upon to design, it must ultimately rest upon soil. May he design a lofty tower, may he construct a massive dam or a gigantic barrage or even a tiny outlet or syphon, unless those are built on reliable foundation, the money employed and the energy spent will be a mere waste. Successful design of foundation will depend not only on its structural arrangements but also on the distribution and/or transmission of the superincumbent load upon the soil to such a harmless degree that the attraction of gravity to the structure is adequately balanced by the soil particles. It is, therefore, legitimate to expect that a Civil Engineer should have atleast a reasonably accurate conception about the physical properties of the soil involved and its bearing capacity. It is all the more true for hydraulic structures, because in such cases, the arrangement of soil particle are further complicated by the presence and action of water either static or dynamic.- Bagjola-Ghuni-Jatragachi Drainage Scheme

Geography:Past & Present
A glance on the eastern fringe of the city of Calcutta will at once bring into view a vast marshy land which extends over miles and miles in a south-easterly direction. This waterlogged area was the bed of the river Bidyadhari, which was once a powerful tidal creek in the Lower Gangetic Delta.

If we try to find out our origin in the long long past, we will simply meet with endless darkness where no clear evidence has been left by our forefathers to enable tracing out their footprints. Yet, the ever inquisitive human mind carried on through ages laborious researches and advanced various theories, explaining evolution of human society-none of which has however, been accepted with unequivocal opinion.- Closing the Breach at Kulgachi

The name of the article will probably suggest no idea about the subject matter dealt with to the minds of those who are not accustomed to the river protective works. These types of works seldom fall to the lot of Engineers other than those who are engaged in irrigation. Works of an Irrigation Engineer are broadly classified under the following sub-heads:-
(i) Irrigation, (2) Embankment, (3) Navigation, and (4) Drainage. "Closure of breach" comes under the sub-head "Embankment".
