it's gud to know an Indian based novel in this app......I hope to see more chapters of this novel and also waiting for an interesting plot....

LIKEOn another note! Somewhere previously it was mentioned that all industrial zones were built along the banks of fast flowing rivers, for making use of water wheel. The thing is, though I don't have technical background in engineering , if my physics knowledge from high school serves me right the overshot watersheds is more efficient than undrrshot design and the efficiency is also directly proportional to the height from which water is discharged on waterwheel, so by that measure won't it be more effective if Vijay had designed a series of aqueducts similar to Roman's and connect it to reservoirs built along major rivers? bet that would he could have not only benefitted from enormous kinetic energy from water falling from height but also could have developed efficient water distribution system and developed interior water parched areas.
It's potential energy instead of kinetic energy if you're talking about water dropping from heights That water then functions to rotate turbines or water wheels of that time, to generate power as well as make an efficient water distribution system due to its higher speed and energy, but it is a double edged sword as it can lead to breakage and eroding of land, tiles or whatever tunnels were made for the water flow... Before you decide to say anything, lemme tell you that I haven't read the book and just commented based on the information on your comment and the physics that suits it. Also, if you're interested, generally the water after being discharged from high-rise dams is passed through turbines to generate energy which takes away its energy partially before being released into the reservoir to prevent the fast flow of water from causing damage. Of course, I could be wrong since I am no engineer

Thanks fir clarification. Been a long time since I left schooling, so kinda hazy on principles. After that my college and post graduation were all non science based electives.
