“Over the last 40 years, small-holder farmers in Bangladesh have, using very simple methods, turned the dry Bengal Basin into one of the richest croplands on Earth where two to three rice harvests can be had per year.

They created a climate-resilient water system dubbed “The Bengal Water Machine” that has kept an underground reservoir topped up, even through extensive mechanized irrigation, by accumulating seasonal monsoon rains totaling a volume of 75 to 90 cubic kilometers of water... or if you’d prefer the figure in gallons, 23,775,484,712,233.00 (23.7 trillion).

This was found in a recent study, awaiting peer-review, that took one million water measurements from 465 separate wells between 1998 and 2018.

Compiled by Mohammad Shamsudduha, a data analyst and researcher at the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, University College London, it shows that humanity doesn’t necessarily need expensive science-fiction technology to ensure that cropland can remain irrigated if climate change corresponds to more intense droughts in the future.

That’s because The Bengal Water Machine is made up of nothing more than regular old wells dug less than 300 feet down, which increase the capture of the May-October Monsoon rains and prevent them from draining into the Bay of Bengal.” -via Good News Network, 11/30/22

इसके पहले मैंने कभी समुद्र नहीं देखा था। इस विशालकाय समंदर को, जिसकी न कोई शुरुआत है न कोई अंत है, उसे अपनी इन बाल-सुलभ आँखों से देखकर मैं निशब्द था। बालू में चहलकदमी करते हुए और आती हुईं लहरों के कोलाहल को सुनते हुए मैं सब कुछ भूल चुका था, अपनी सारी परेशानियाँ, सारी दुखद स्मृतियाँ, सारी अभिलाषाएँ! इन सारे राग द्वेष से मुक्त, मैं समुद्र के साथ एकीकृत हो चुका था, मानो उसमें विलीन हो गया हूँ, खो चुका था उस क्षण में! काश समय वहीं थम जाता ! काश मुझे असलियत में वापस न आना होता !

There are many mechanisms by which zoonotic pathogens can acquire the ability to spread directly between people, severing the cord that binds them to their reservoir animals. Vibrio cholerae did it by acquiring the ability to produce a toxin.

The toxin was the vibrio's pièce de résistance. Normally, the human digestive system sends food, gastric and pancreatic juice, bile, and various intestinal secretions to the intestines, where cells lining the gut extract nutrients and fluid, leaving behind a solid mass of excreta to expel. The vibrio's toxin altered the biochemistry of the human intestines such that the organ's normal function reversed. Instead of extracting fluids to nourish the body's tissues, the vibrio-colonized gut sucked water and electrolytes out of the body's tissues and flushed them away with the waste.

The toxin allowed the vibrio to accomplish two things essential to its success as a human pathogen. First, it helped the vibrio get rid of its competitors: the massive torrents of fluids sloughed off all the other bacteria in the gut, so that the vibrio (clinging to the gut in its tough micro-colonies) could colonize the organ undisturbed. Second, it assured the vibrio's passage from one victim to another. Even tiny drops of that excreta, on unwashed hands or contaminated food or water, couldcarry the vibrio to new victims. Now, so long as the vibrio could get into a single person and cause disease, it could spread to others, whether or not they exposed themselves to copepods or ingested the vibrio-rich waters of the Sundarbans.

The first pandemic caused by the new pathogens began in the Sundarbans town of Jessore in August 1817 after a heavy rainfall. Brackish water from the sea flooded the area, allowing salty copepod-rich waters to seep into people's farms and homes and wells. V. cholerae slipped into the locals' bodies and colonized their guts. Thanks to the toxin, Vibrio cholerae's basic reproductive number, according to modern mathematicians, ranged from 2 to 6. A single infected person could infect as many as half a dozen others. Within hours, cholera's first victims were being drained alive, each expelling more than fifteen quarts of milky-white liquid stool a day, filling the Sundarbans' streams and waste pits with excreta. It leaked into farmers' wells. Droplets clung to people's hands and clothes. And in each drop, vibrio bacteria swarmed, ready to infect a new host.

The Bengalis called the new disease ola, for “the purge”. It killed people faster than any other disease known to humankind. Ten thousand perished. Within a matter of months, the new plague held nearly two hundred thousand square miles of Bengal in its grip.

Cholera had made its debut.

The Gosthani River just a few meters before its confluence with the Bay of Bengal.

Despite the seemingly placid appearance of the surface - indeed an epitome of deceptive placidity - the water in truth had a very considerable velocity, precluding anything so foolhardy as attempting to wade, or - heaven forbid - swim across it.

One is reminded of the fact that in wilderness trekking, river and stream crossings kill more people than any other kind of natural calamity that might befall them on this terrain.

May 10, 2010. Bheemili, Andhra Pradesh.
