The gram was first introduced in 1795, with a definition based on the density of water ( so that at the temperature of melting ice, one cubic centimeter of water would have a mass of one gram ; while the meter at the time was defined as the 10, 000, 000th part of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole ).

Another approach would be to build large dams — in gorges crossing the Mahabharat Range or further upstream — with storage capacities measured in cubic kilometers to capture high flows during the monsoon when there is usually enough rainfall on the plains if not flooding, then releasing water for hydroelectric generation and irrigation especially during the hot and dry pre-monsoon " summer ".
