古代印度民族或部落间，常因为水而发生斗争。佛陀在鸠那罗湖边的时候。因为在释迦族的迦毗罗城与拘利族之间有一修罗希尼河，并在这里造了一道堤以便灌溉两方的稻田。这一年的五月间，稻田缺水。两城的农民都集中到这道堤上。拘利族人说：“两边抽水，弄得你我都不够，如果这水只给我们一边，我们的稻子可望繁盛。请把水给我们。”迦毗罗城人说：“你们的谷仓里储满了谷子，我们不能拿着黄金铜钱和篮子布袋到你们的门上来要。如果这水单给我们，则我们的稻子也会繁盛的。请把水给我们吧。”这样为了争水，发生口角，恶言相骂，继而打了起来。结果把事情扩大，两方的统治者还调兵遣将，准备战争。佛陀知道了此事，赶快前去两城调解，得到和平协作

ACCORDING to a Japanese press report, a Japanese scientist had, in 2009, pointed to the possibility of a giant tsunami hitting the Pacific coast of the nation's Tohoku northeastern region, but the warning was not heeded by Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), which is now struggling to combat radiation leaks from its tsunami-hit nuclear power plant there.
According to the Jiji Press report, Yukinobu Okamura, chief of the Active Fault and Earthquake Research Centre of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), issued the warning in June 2009 at a meeting of a Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry panel on earthquake safety at nuclear power plants.
Okamura had studied the 869 AD Jogan earthquake that jolted the Tohoku region and found that layers of sand driven by tsunami were found inland, including areas around Tepco's Fukushima No. 1 and No. 2 nuclear reactor plants. He also said huge tsunamis had hit the region once every 450 to 800 years.
Okamura said tsunamis bigger than those anticipated by the power supplier could hit the Tohoku region.
Okamura urged the panel to review nuclear power plants' quake resistance in terms of tsunami. But Tepco argued that it was unnecessary to take the Jogan quake into account in the quake-proof design of nuclear power plants, as the quake occurred more than 1,100 years ago.
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan has given us two messages: monitoring of past earthquake incidents should be an integral part of any nuclear power plan programme, and historical records can provide important data and information vital to planning and development.
