India working on making earthquake predictions possible

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

earthquake pre-cursory phenomena in critical seismotectonic regions, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Thursday.

Minister of State for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences Y. S. Chowdary said the government initiated a programme 'Seismicity & Earthquake Precursor' to understand the earthquake generation process, and better identify possible earthquake signs, based on which useful predictions could be made.

In a written reply to the house, Chowdary said the programme, initiated by his ministry through a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary mechanism, would help adopt an integrated approach of generation, assimilation and analyses of a variety of earthquake signs in advance.

Also underway is a project on drilling a deep bore to study in detail the ongoing earthquake generation processes in the region of the seismically active Koyna-Warna in Maharashtra, said an official statement.

The proposed scientific deep drilling investigation seeks to provide data sets to better understand the mechanisms of faulting and the physics of reservoir triggered earthquakes.

It also intends to contribute towards earthquake hazard assessment and develop models for earthquake forecast in future.

Nothing is imposible for Indians. I wish them All the best . This will save many lives around the world.

Predict earthquake is difficult
The best record of China is 6 sec

China failed that's why we are trying. Indian only touch things when it is possible for them and they rest only when work get done.

I agree it is very difficult that's why i hope this project becomes a success

There is no failure in science
Proving wrong way is another type of success
BTW,Chinese didn't failed

I agree it is very difficult that's why i hope this project becomes a success

Yes,human suffer from earthquake,
My best wish for scientist

Indeed it doesn't matter whether China,India or Japan discovers a better method to predict earthquake all of humanity will benefit from it

 

[Koovie]

That would equate a very astonishing breakthrough in geology!

Predicting earthquakes soon enough has been a problem for ages.

I wish them best of luck
