Water weapon technology: Today the world is struggling with serious water crisis. Fresh water pollution, climate change, population growth and increasing demand have put both the quality and availability of water in danger. In the last 40 years, global consumption of water for agriculture, industry and population is increasing at a rate of about 1% every year. The effect of this pressure is clearly visible, 26% of the world’s population still does not have access to clean drinking water and 46% people are deprived of basic sanitation facilities. Where the struggle and wars continue, the situation is worse.

Water crisis in war effective areas

According to 2015 data, 38% of people in war-affected areas do not get safe water to drink and 61% people are bereft of basic facilities like toilets. It has the highest effect on children, UNICEF reports suggest that children under 15 years of age living in areas facing war, less than war but three times more deaths than diseases like diarrhea. At the same time, the mortality rate of children younger than five years is 20 times higher than diseases, compared to war directly.

Increasing crisis on water and its dangerous forms

The report “Water Conflict Chronology” released by Pacific Institute at the end of 2023 highlighted the increasing incidence of conflicts related to water. In this, water was presented as a struggle, a strategic weapon or a “hunting” itself. This concern is also increasing because control of water resources has now become the center of politics and war.

Old tradition of making water weapons

Although the strategy of using water as a weapon in war is not new, Britain attacked the Ruhr dams in Germany in 1942, killing 1,300 citizens but its incidents have increased in the last two decades. According to Pacific Institute, at least 28 cases of water being used as weapons have been reported since 2020, while 32 such cases were registered between 2000 and 2009.

There are many factors like intent, role and geography behind making water weapons. Expert Marwa Daoudy divided it into four classes political control, military strategy, military goals and the possibility of cooperation. This means that the misuse of water can be done not only during the war, but also by the state and non-state elements under normal circumstances.

Stress related to climate change is making this situation worse. Damage to water pipelines, dams and water distribution systems is now being made a normal strategy in conflicts, which results in communities and countries for a long time.

Ukraine

After the attack on Ukraine by Russia in 2022, several civilian water structures including the Nova Kakhovka Dam were targeted. Due to this one attack, about 3,600 people of more than 80 towns had to leave their homes, and 10 lakh people were deprived of drinking water. The dam was the main source of irrigation necessary for agriculture in South Ukraine.

Researchers Marcus King explain that Russia deliberately adopted a strategy to terrorize people by damaging water structures. In cities like Mariupol, stopping water supply was a deliberate military move. It was not just a physical attack but a deep strategy to hold people’s lives hostage. Experts like Erika Weinthal believe that water in Ukraine has been on target since 2014 when Russia captured Crimea and Eastern Ukraine even when the water system was caused serious damage.

Brain-Computer Interface: In this modern time today, the connection of humans and machines is already being seen. Technology has even developed that if a person’s organ deteriorates in an accident, then it is replaced by artificial organ. Apart from this, the light of the eyes can also be improved with the help of technology and even people are being given strengths like night vision or “super vision”. But the question is, what will happen if this technology is ahead?

America made exoskeleton

According to the information, the US Army has designed exoskeleton which are capable of giving extraordinary powers to soldiers. Scientists are now working on such interfaces that can connect humans directly to AI so that humans and machines can be fully connected to each other. At the same time, some companies are planning to create such brain-computer interfaces that can also read the views of humans.

What is Brain-Computer Interface

Brain-computer interface (BCI) which has the ability to connect the brain of humans directly to a computer or a device. Brain-computer interface is a system that changes brain activities and changes them into computer language. This technique recognizes the message in the brain through neurons and converts them into a digital command. This means that a person can control a computer, machine or robot only by thinking.

How this system works

In this technique, electrodes are installed in the brain or with the help of external sensors, EEG (electroncephalography) signals are taken. A computer system reads these signals and enlightens what a person is thinking or what he wants to do. After this, the computer gives response accordingly.

Will the thoughts of humans be able to read the machine really

Currently, this technique is capable of recognizing limited ideas such as “shaking hands”, “running cursor” or “choosing something”, but scientists want to develop it so much in future that it can recognize his feelings, decisions or words with a person’s thinking. For information, let us know that Allen Musk’s company Neuralink has moved a lot in this field and has started trials on humans.
