Gopi — Uhm---m, 100 metres? No, it is much more.
Can't say.
Victoria — It must be more than half a kilometre.
Ms. Asha — Look, it is written – 'This bridge is 756.82 metres
long'. So we can guess that the Narmada must be
about 500 metres wide at this place.
Sadaf — I just can't imagine 500 metres.
Ms. Asha — See, our bus is about 5 metres long. Imagine how
many buses can stand in a line on this bridge.
Everyone looks down at the river.
Mr. Rakesh — The water level now is quite low. It must be about
40 metres below the bridge.
Ms. Asha — But in the rainy season, the water had risen. Then
it was just about 15 metres below the bridge.
Was Victoria right ?
Have you ever crossed a long bridge? About how many metres
long was it? ____________
What is the difference between the water level of the Narmada
in the rainy season and now? ___________ metres.
