We see fish in the sea, ponds, pools and small canals. Now you will ask why are you telling us about the fish. Will anyone believe that a fish shook the whole system. This incident is from Andhra Pradesh. The Pennahobilam Reservoir-PABR is 42 km away from Anantapur city here. The city’s drinking water supply comes from here.
If only two motors run continuously in PABR, water will come out from forty thousand taps of the city. On Saturday evening, the engineering and officials of the drinking water department saw that one motor was running, but water was not coming. To find out what the problem was, 17 pipes of the 500 horsepower motor were removed and examined. This effort took several hours. After 4-5 hours, whatever came out made everyone present there hold their heads. Because no one knew what the problem was. Finally, when the motor of the water pump was cut, the officials were surprised to see what was inside it.
It was found that a fish about 4 feet long and weighing 7.5 kg was stuck in that pump. Due to such a big fish being stuck in the pipe, it was found that water was not coming out of it. Officials said that the iron net on the side of the pipe had been removed and the fish entered the pipe. Engineers have revealed that after the pump clamping work is completed, water supply will be started in some areas. It is being told that the employees working in the pumping station were overjoyed to see such a big fish. All the people present there organized a big party with this fish.
Here the question arises that what did the fish go into the pipe to do. Scientists said that the fish went into the pipe to rest. Whenever you see fish, they always keep swimming. Seeing them, the question arises that how do fish sleep. How do they rest? Let us tell you here that fish sleep in the same way as humans or other creatures sleep. Most fish rest. Research shows that fish reduce their activity while being alert to avoid danger. Some fish swim, while some fish bury themselves in a safe place in mud or coral.
Some fish find a specific place to rest. For example, the fish that got into the pipe made it its home. Usually it is not easy to tell when a fish is sleeping because they do not move.
