నాట్​గ్రిడ్​: నిఘాలో సూపర్​ పవర్​గా భారత్​!

2020 జనవరి నుంచి నేషనల్​ ఇంటెలిజెన్స్​ గ్రిడ్​(నాట్​గ్రిడ్​) అందుబాటులోకి రానుంది. ఈ విషయాన్ని కేంద్ర హోంమంత్రిత్వశాఖ అధికారులు వెల్లడించారు. వలసలు, బ్యాంకింగ్​, పన్ను, రైల్వే- విమాన సేవలు తదితర అంశాల సమాచార సేకరణకు ఈ గ్రిడ్​ ఉపయోగపడనుంది.

రూ. 3వేల 400 కోట్లతో చేపట్టిన ఈ ప్రాజెక్టుకు సంబంధించిన పురోగతిని కేంద్ర హోంమంత్రి అమిత్​ షా ఇటీవలే సమీక్షించారు. ఆ తర్వాత నాట్​గ్రిడ్​కు సంబంధించిన పనులు మరింత వేగవంతం అయ్యాయి.

ఎందుకు...? ఎలా...?

26/11 ముంబయి ఉగ్రదాడుల అనంతరం ఇలాంటి పటిష్ఠ నిఘా వ్యవస్థ ఏర్పాటుపై సుదీర్ఘ చర్చ జరిగింది. ఎట్టకేలకు కార్యరూపం దాల్చింది. ఈ గ్రిడ్ ద్వారా ముష్కరుల కదలికలను పసిగట్టి.. ఉగ్రదాడులను నియంత్రించవచ్చు.

నాట్​గ్రిడ్​లో వలసలు, బ్యాంకింగ్​, ఆర్థిక లావాదేవీలు, క్రెడిట్​ కార్డు వినియోగం, టెలికాం, వ్యక్తిగత పన్ను చెల్లింపుదారులు, విమాన- రైల్వే సర్వీసు సహా ఇతర నిఘా వ్యవస్థకు సంబంధించిన డేటా ఉంటాయి. ఈ ప్రాజెక్ట్​ కోసం ఇప్పటికే ఐటీశాఖ నుంచి దాదాపు 8 కోట్ల మంది పన్ను చెల్లింపుదారుల వివరాలను సేకరించింది కేంద్రం. పౌర విమానయానశాఖ, ఇతర విమానయాన సంస్థల నుంచి ప్రయాణికుల సమాచార సేకరణకు కేంద్రం కసరత్తు చేస్తోంది.

తొలిదశలో 10 యూజర్​ ఏజెన్సీలు(ఐబీ, సీబీఐ...), 21 సర్వీసు ప్రొవైడర్లు ఈ గ్రిడ్​తో అనుసంధానమవుతారు. మరో దశలో 950 సంస్థలు, రానున్న సంవత్సరాల్లో 1000 కంపెనీలు గ్రిడ్​లో భాగమవుతాయి.

ఇదీ చూడండి:- క్యాబ్​లో కండోమ్​లు తప్పనిసరి... లేదంటే జరిమానా!

LEADIN:
The Afsluitdijk - one of the low-lying Netherlands' key sea defenses - has been taking a battering for 87 years.
With climate change bringing more powerful storms and rising sea levels, it's getting a major makeover.
STORYLINE:
The Netherlands - crisscrossed by rivers and bordered by the sea - has been battling with water for centuries.
This thin line rising through the water's surface is the Afsluitdijk, a major sea defence and motorway separating the provinces of North Holland and Friesland.
The Afsluitdijk has been protecting the Netherlands from the force of water for almost 90 years.
And being of such unmeasurable importance - the Dutch government is embarking on a future-proofing project to beef up the iconic 32-kilometre (20-mile) dyke.
Engineers have already started to strengthen the Afsluitdijk and the highway that runs over the narrow strip of man-made land that lies between the shallow Wadden Sea and the Ijsselmeer inland sea.
Construction work includes laying thousands of custom-made concrete blocks and raising it in parts. Work is expected to continue until 2023.
The cutting edge of design work is not at a beach or estuary, but in a long wave tank, known as "The Flume", in an industrial area of Delft, a historic city best known for its delicate blue and white china and Johannes Vermeer.
Mark Klein Breteler, a dike expert and project manager at Deltares, says the new design of the Afsluitdijk needs to handle everything climate change throws at it.
As part of their research, Breteler and his team are testing both big and small waves in this 300-metre long wave tank.
"We have different structure elements that we use in that structure. From the bottom, we have first rock, which protects the toe and then a slope of Levvel blocks, that is specially designed block specially made for this Afsluitdijk," he explains.
"It's a nice regular pattern of very big concrete blocks - as you can see down there - and those blocks are very open, so the waves are hitting in that structure and lose a lot of energy there. And then a little bit of wave action is still going up to the upper slope."
With climate change bringing more powerful storms and rising sea levels, the Afsluitdijk needs to stand the test of time.
Engineers built a scale model of a cross-section of the dyke in the tank and pound it with waves they say should occur only once every 10,000 years to make sure the new design can survive the destructive power of such a storm.
Boris Teunis, an expert on emergency water management with Dutch water agency Rijkswaterstaat, is concerned.
"If you look at the sea level rise, it's already going on at a constant base since the beginning of the 21st century, like two millimetres a year. So, that is expected to continue and what we are worrying about is if it will accelerate, the increase of the sea-level rise," says Teunis.
The Dutch, who have for centuries been managing water to keep their feet dry, are not waiting around.
This year, the government established a "knowledge program on rising sea levels" that aims to feed expertise into the ongoing program of building and maintaining water defenses.
"We (Dutch) have the safest delta in the world. What will happen in the future it's difficult to say, that's what we are currently working on, to get as much knowledge as possible about developments in the future and then take stapes to prepare ourselves for these situations," says Teunis.
Just what the dyke and the rest of the world's coastal regions will have to endure in coming decades will be outlined next week (25 September) in a new United Nations scientific report on the impact of climate change on ice and oceans.
With this in mind, Breteler and his team must test all eventualities.
"You see that not all the waves are the same height. We have large waves, we have small waves and we have long waves and short waves, but also waves coming in groups. So, groups of large waves and groups of small waves and that is exactly how it is in nature. Especially on the Wadden Sea, we have a rather short wave attack or short waves, which gives a violent impact on the structure and that is what you experience here as well," says Breteler.
This kind of innovation and constant care for thousands of kilometres of dykes and levees is not cheap - the government earmarked nearly 18 billion euros ($20 billion USD) to fund it for the period from 2020-2033.
This project alone cost 550 million euros ($608 million USD) according to Rabobank, an investment bank involved in the project.
But the return on that investment is more than just dry feet for the 17 million people who call the Netherlands home.
An industry group estimated that water sector exports were worth 7.6 billion euros ($8.4 billion USD) in 2018, as the Dutch sell their expertise to other low-lying countries and cities around the world.
