Wind is an important source of non-conventional energy which is cheap‚ pollution-free‚ environment friendly and can be developed away from the sources of conventional energy. This energy was utilised in sailing ships and wind mills since ancient days. In India the generation of electric power through wind mills started in 1950 and by March 1993 about 2‚900 wind pump sets has been installed in seven states of the country. At the beginning of the Eighth Plan the installed capacity of wind-based

the factors that influence how much a work a river can do (25) The work that a river does is erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The amount of work a river can do is dependent on the energy it has and this energy is determined by many factors. The study of water flow in a river channel is known as hydraulics. Hydraulic geometry is the study of the relationships that exist within river channels that ultimately determine how much work the river will be able to carry out. Width‚ depth‚ velocity
