The news includes information about the Sardar Sarovar Dam and tsunamis.
The dam, a large concrete structure on the Narmada River, is managing its water levels.
It also provides electricity and irrigation.
Another part of the news is about the factors responsible for tsunamis.
Earthquakes occurring in the ocean with a magnitude over 7.0 can cause these giant waves.
Sardar Sarovar Dam's gates were opened for a 'safe rise' to the Full Reservoir Level.
The dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Narmada River.
It generates 1450 MW of eco-friendly hydro electricity.
The dam provides irrigation water to Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan.
Tsunamis are generally generated by quakes with magnitudes of more than 7.0.
