Since some decades I am wondering how we can grow man-made forest in our
country, Pakistan. On different occasions different type of ideas came into my
mind, some of which I had already discussed in some other post(s) in this blog. |

Some days ago an idea came to my mind to calculate how many tree saplings
will be required if we want to plant them on both sides of river Indus, largest
river in our country. Idea was to calculate total number of tree saplings
required if we plant one tree sapling after every “R” foot throughout the length
of river Indus and plant one tree sapling after every “C” foot sideways on both
sides of river. |

|
After playing with different numbers for “R” and “C” I settled for 50 rows
and 50 columns of tree saplings per square kilometer. This makes 2500 tree
saplings per square kilometer. Length of river Indus is around 3000 kilometers.
By multiplying length of river with number of tree saplings required per square
kilometer we get number of tree saplings required for one side of river Indus
and that is 7,500,000 tree saplings. To get number of tree saplings required for
both sides I multiplied this number with 2 and got the number 15,000,000. |

After a few days I started making a software version of that calendar and
in a few days completed it's first version. This post is to describe Computer
version (I made in 2020) of the Manual version (I made a few decades ago). |
