if i am not wrong, chinese started sharing the data this year.
irrespective of what experts say, please have a look at the size of tributaries that are in discussion.
partial quote from the above post
Sir i feel sorry for the nation if an intelligent indian with an internet connection can know more than a professor of the subject at an IIT ( in this case IIT Roorkee )
youre suggesting that simply looking at a google map and comparing the size of the tributary .....? measured with what =? measured with a ruler ? or rule of thumb ?? does google maps or google earth give the depth of the river tributary ? or is there no depth to this subject ? volume of water ? no consideration about that .....again im not targeting your post or ideas , just that if you or i know more than the professor , then its a sorry state of affairs isnt it ? otoh this could be an isolated case ?
not being sarcastic because actually your good-self and the others who took your line of reasoning might actually be CORRECT !!! but like i said , if we with a simpleton internet connection can know more than the IIT Roorkee professor , then does that reflect the state of the nation ??
i always thought that the IIT's were the best uni's in the world , it was said that it's easier getting into Harvard or Stanford than getting into the IITs ...i wonder if that has changed ??
best regards, R
