Chandola Lake

Chandola Lake is located near Dani Limda Road, Ahmedabad, Gujarat state, India and covers an area of 1200 hectares. It is a water reservoir, embanked and circular in form. It is also home for cormorants, painted storks and spoonbill birds. During the evening time, many people visit this place and take a leisure stroll. History Chandola Lake was in existence when Asha Bhil founded Ashaval. The historic Salt March around nine in the morning, after covering a distance of seven miles from the Sabarmati Ashram and a few minutes after the trucks and the taxis carrying radio and print journalists had disappeared down the road, had reached the Chandola Lake. Mahatma Gandhi had stopped under a large pipal tree next to the lake, no bigger than a small pond in the middle of a vast expanse of mud during March, 1930. Usage Water from this lake is used for irrigation and industrial purposes. It is also being used for agriculture, as well as for other purposes like processing of waste oil and plastics. The Kharicut Canal Scheme which is one of the oldest irrigation schemes of Gujarat was constructed with the main purpose of providing irrigation to 1,200 acres of rice land near Chandola lake in Ahmedabad. Pollution and encroachment Large-scale encroachment have been built on this water body. Kharicut, the lake’s feeder canal is choked with filth and garbage. On 29 April 2025, a mega demolition was carried out by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation at Chandola Lake, in which a large amount of government land was vacated by removing many illegal encroachments. A large number of police personnel were also present at the time of this demolition. It was also reported that illegal Bangladeshis had established a colony here. Chandola Lake Development Plans The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has ambitious plans for developing Chandola lake in a big way. AMC has also drawn an exhaustive plan for the upkeep of Chandola lake, which till now was a neglected public space. The AMC has tendered jobs for cleaning and sanitation activities to be carried out around Chandola. The civic body has earmarked Rs 3.70 lakh for clearing the garbage from the lake.

ТЕЦ Джамнагар (Essar)

ТЕЦ Джамнагар (Essar) — теплова електростанція на заході Індії у штаті Гуджарат, споруджена в комплексі нафтопереробного заводу Вадінар, проект якого реалізував конгломерат Essar (в 2017-му проданий спільному підприємству «Роснєфті» та Trafigura компанії Nayara Energy). НПЗ, пробний запуск якого відбувся у 2006 році, розпочав роботу із трьома паровими котлами продуктивністю по 150 тонн пари на годину. Вони живлять дві парові турбіни потужністю по 38,5 МВт, а також постачають 230 тонн пари на годину для технологічних потреб заводу. В 2010—2011 роках ввели в дію чергу, відому як Вадінар P1. Вона має дві газові турбіни потужністю по 110 МВт, які живлять два котли-утилізатори, здатні продукувати по 315 тонн пари на годину. Нарешті, у 2012-му стала до ладу третя черга Вадінар Р2, що отримала два парові котли продуктивністю по 750 тонн пари на годину та три парові турбіни — дві потужністю по 105 МВт та одну з показником 92,5 МВт. Ця черга також може постачати до 900 тон пари на годину для технологічних потреб заводу. Основним паливом першої черги станції є залишки переробки нафти. Вадінар P1 розрахована на споживання природного газу (з 2009-го надходить у регіон по трубопроводу Ананд – Джамнагар), тоді як черзі Вадінар Р2 надали можливість використовувати вугілля та нафтопродукти (як залишки переробки, так і більш цінні продукти на кшталт naphtha — суміші легких вуглеводнів, яка передусім використовується як нафтохімічна сировина). Окрім забезпечення потреб НПЗ, споруджена у його комплексі ТЕЦ може постачати електроенергію для продажу на ринку. Станція сполучена з енергосистемою ЛЕП, яка працює під напругою 220 кВ. Примітки

ТЕС Тромбей

ТЕС Тромбей – теплова електростанція на заході Індії у штаті Махараштра. У 1956 та 1957 на майданчику станції стали до ладу два конденсаційні блоки з паровими турбінами потужністю по 62,5 МВт, які були розраховані на споживання нафти. В 1960-му та 1965-му їх доповнили ще двома блоками потужністю 62,5 МВт та 150 МВт відповідно, що мали споживати як нафту, так і вугілля. У 1978-му в район Мумбаї почав надходити видобутий на шельфі ресурс природного газу, що призвело до виникнення планів масштабного розширення ТЕС. Як наслідок, в 1984 та 1990 роках ввели в експлуатацію два блоки з паровими турбінами потужністю по 500 МВт, причому перший мав одночасно споживати газ, нафту та вугілля, тоді як другий розрахували лише на газ та нафту. Блакитне паливо надходило через газопровід Уран – Тромбей. В 1993 – 1994 роках ввели в дію сьомий енергоблок потужністю 180 МВт, який на цей раз використовував енергоефективну технологію комбінованого комбінованого парогазового циклу та мав одну газову турбіну з показником у 120 МВт, що живила через котел-утилізатор одну парову турбіну потужністю 60 МВт. Запуск цього блоку дозволив вивести з експлуатації найбільш застарілі блоки 1 – 3. Із виснаженням родовищ офшорного басейну Мумбай станція почала відчувати дефіцит природного газу. Як наслідок, у 2009-му її доповнили вугільним блоком №8 потужністю 250 МВт. При цьому блок №5 повністю перейшов на вугілля, а блок №6 – на нафту, і лише блок №7 з урахуванням своєї технології продовжував використовувати природний газ. В 2012-му також анонсували плани переведення блоку №6 на вугілля, проте якогось поступу у цьому проекті станом на кінець десятиліття так і не відбулось. Блок №4, що в якийсь момент був переведений з вугілля на газ, у 2010-х перебував в резерві, а в 2016-му був виведений з експлуатації. Вугілля для станції спершу постачали залізницею з індійських копалень, при цьому залізничний термінал мав потужність по прийому до 2,3 млн тон на рік. Втім, необхідність дотримання норм із викидів діоксиду сірки призвела до того, що станом на початок 1990-х фактичні поставки вугілля були обмежені рівнем у 1,3 млн тон. В подальшому з тих же міркувань перейшли на спалювання імпортованого з Індонезії вугілля, для прийому якого ТЕС, що знаходиться на березі затоки Мумбай, має власні портові потужності. Мазут може постачатись на майданчик станції по трубопроводам від розташованих поруч нафтопереробних заводів компаній BPCL та HPCL. Для видалення продуктів згоряння на майданчику станції звели численні димарі заввишки 76 м (блок 4), 152 м (блок 5), 275 м (блок 6), два по 60 м (блок 7, по одному димарю для газової турбіни та котла-утилізатора) і 220 м (блок 8). Воду для охолодження беруть із затоки Мумбай. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, що працюють під напругою 220 кВ. Примітки

Magen David Synagogue (Byculla)

The Magen David Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת מגן דוד, lit. 'Shield of David Synagogue'; Malayalam: മാഗെൻ ഡേവിഡ് സിനഗോഗ്) is a synagogue, located in Byculla, Mumbai, in the state of Maharashtra, India. History The Victorian and Neoclassical-styled Sephardi synagogue was constructed in 1864 by David Sassoon for the growing population of Baghdadi Jews who had fled from persecution by the governor and Wali of Baghdad Dawud Pasha. By 1910, the Jewish community in the neighbourhood of Byculla had increased to the extent that the synagogue could no longer service all the devotees and the synagogue was extended with the help of Jacob, David Sassoon's grandson. Legacy The synagogue is one of the largest in Asia outside of Israel. Within the extensive grounds of the synagogue there are two Jewish schools that are both operated by the Sir Jacob Sassoon High School Trust and the E.E.E. Sassoon High School Trust, in which Jewish children were originally educated. Over time most of the Bagdadi Jews moved to the more affluent Colaba area or abroad to Israel, Australia, Britain and Canada. With the scarcity of Jewish students, the schools have opened to all communities and currently provide for the population in the vicinity, which is 98% Muslim. The synagogue was restored for the celebration of the 150th anniversary in 2011.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Neves

The Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Neves (Church of Our Lady of the Snows) is a historical Catholic church in Rachol village, Salcete sub-district, on the southern banks of the Zuari river, in the South Goa district of Goa state, India. The church was built in the 1560's during the Goa Inquisition. It is situated in close proximity to the renowned Rachol Seminary. There is a church of the same name in the neighbouring village of Raia. History The Colonial Portuguese Baroque style church was originally built with mud walls and a thatched roof, alongside the fort of Rachol. The Captain of the Rachol fortress (in Portuguese Capitão desta Fortaleza de Rachol) Diogo Rodrigues was appointed to carry out the work. It was completed in AD 1565. The church was dedicated to Nossa Senhora das Neves (Our Lady of the Snows). It has been referred to as the "Mother church" (Matriz) for the whole of southern Goa and was named Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Neves. It was the Seat of the first Archbishop of Goa, Dom Gaspar Jorge de Leão Pereira who personally visited Margão and the surrounding areas to choose the location. The Archbishop shot an arrow into the ground at Rachol and ordered the church to be built there. The church was considered to be the first in the Salcette concelho (Salcette was called Ilha de Salcette do Sul at that time). Two historical burials took place at the altar. The first burial was for the captain of the Fort (Capitão desta Fortaleza) Diogo Rodrigues in AD 1577. The second regards the massacre of Jesuit priests and civilians that occurred in the Cuncolim Revolt in July 1583. The martyrs' bodies remained in the church until AD 1597, after which they were moved to Saint Paul's College, Goa and laid to rest in Old Goa at the Cathedral in AD 1862.
