COTTON MUSEUM
Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, India
Sir Arthur Cotton Museum was developed in the memory of Sir Arthur Cotton. Sir Arthur Cotton was a British designer who developed a considerable lot of the most punctual waterworks over the stream Godavari. Sir Arthur Cotton is credited with the working of the Dowleswaram Barrage. He has spearheaded a few design hones in India, particularly the utilization of the anicut framework in water system building. He is known as the "Delta Architect" who subdued the dreaded substance that the waterway Godavari was transforming into, to a quiet water asset. He is the motivation behind why numerous spots in Andhra Pradesh keep on being very much flooded today.
