Jul 07, 2019: 08:14 IST: As part of its largest non-defence project in India, Israel is designing a new looped water grid system to ensure that the 11 dams in Maharashtra's drought-hit district never run dry. As part of the plan, 11 dams—Jayakwadi, Lower Dudhna, Siddheshwar, Yeldari, Vishnupuri, Majalgaon, Lower Manar, Upper Painganga, Sina Kolegaon, Manjara and Lower Terna—will be interlinked. Samuel added, "Earlier, if water in Jayakwadi, which is the largest source of water for the region, depleted, there was no means of transporting the resource to other dams. But with the grid system, dams that go dry, will also be supplied water." The project will connect tertiary pipes to the main pipeline and eventually supply water to all the villages. "It is up to the authorities to supply water to homes 24/7 or in instalments. But the dams will not remain dry."

09 July 2019: 09:15 AM: Black Gold: Indian scientists develop wonder material. Tinkering with the chemistry of the yellow metal, Indian scientists have turned it into 'black gold'. Rearranging size and gaps between gold nanoparticles scientists developed a new material that absorbs light and carbon dioxide. The new material is black in colour. Hence the name ‘Black Gold.’ Black gold could be used as a catalyst and convert CO2 into methane at atmospheric pressure and temperature using solar energy. “We have not doped gold nanoparticles with any other material or added other materials. We varied inter-particle distance between gold nanoparticles using a cycle-by-cycle growth approach by optimizing the nucleation-growth step, using dendritic fibrous Nano silica, whose fibres were used as the deposition site for gold nanoparticles,” explained Vivek Polshettiwar, who led the research team, while speaking to India Science Wire. If we develop an artificial tree with leaves made out of black gold, it can perform artificial photosynthesis, capturing carbon dioxide and converting it into fuel and other useful chemicals.
