What was hurricane Pam?

Hurricane Pam was not an actual hurricane, but a computer model of a hypothetical hurricane striking the New Orleans area. New Orleans has long been an area of concern in regard to hurricanes. Portions of the city are below sea level, kept try only by levees and a system of pumps. Many realized that a major hurricane to breach the levees, causing catastrophic flooding. The Hurricane Pam model was meant to simulate what would happen in that event. This scenario came to pass when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005.

What is the use of hydrogel for agricultural purpose?

There are two main types of agricultural hydrogels, each with its own purpose. Both are polyacrylamide (PAM) polymers, but the linear PAM is used primarily for the prevention of soil erosion, while the cross-linked PAM is used to absorb large quantities of water and then release it over time. The latter can be found in garden stores under the name of "super-absorbent crystals" or something similar. The effectiveness of linear PAM has been proven many times over the last several years, while the use of cross-linked PAM is under some debate, as certain soil and environmental conditions can force variable results.
