</a>When we read newspapers, we see the rainfall figures in inches and tank gauges in feet. This is against the law and a punishable act.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Our country has adopted metric system long back (On first October, 1958 with a grace period of 5 years) according to which rainfall and tank gauge figures should be in milimeters or centimeters or meters. Use of duel units or FPS (foot-pound system) units involving inches and feet was permissible for the grace period of five years, which has already passed long back.(1963) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As per para 4(1) & (2) of Chaper -1, Part -2 ofWeights and Measures Act 1958, (as amended in 1976) there is a provision of a fine up to Rs. 2000/- or/and imprisonment upto six months for using non metric units. If this offence is repeated, the imprisonment may exeec to one year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Such situation is in our area only because the Water Resources Department has not modified the gauges painted on the dams and rivers to metric system.</div>
We should therefore request the Water Resources Department for modifying the gauges and the media should also make this an issue.</div>

Jaisamand Lake, District Udaipur, Rajasthan is the second largest man made
(artificial) lake of Asia. Even our text books, general knowledge papers, news
papers, tourist information booklets, etc. mention it accordingly. This is not
true in the present context. The facts are as under-<o:p></o:p></span><br />

during the regime of Maharaja Jai Singh of the then Mewar State. (1680–1698)
and named after him. The original name of this lake was Debar Lake. The lake
has been created by constructing a double face wall earthen dam across River
Gomti.The work of this dam was started during his regime but was completed
later as the year of completion reported in the National Register of large dams
is 1730.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
