Drought is defined as a period with a water deficit, either on the surface or underground, and can last from months to years. Drought is caused by a lack of moisture in the atmosphere from high pressure systems, and can be exacerbated by deforestation. There are three types of drought: meteorological, occurring when rainfall is below average; hydrological, a depletion of surface water; and agricultural, a lack of soil moisture impacting crop yields. Drought has short and long term economic, environmental, and social consequences. India has a long history of drought policies aimed at relief, development of information systems, and improving rural resources, but more sustainable long term strategies are still needed.Occupational health & Hazards

1. Gravitation is the force of attraction between two objects due to their masses. The universal law of gravitation states that the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
2. When an object falls towards the earth due to gravitational attraction, it is undergoing free fall. The acceleration during free fall is called acceleration due to gravity (g), which is about 9.8 m/s^2 on earth.
3. Archimedes' principle states that when an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This determines whetherHospital waste management

Tornados are violently destructive columns of air that form over land in the shape of a funnel. They typically have wind speeds between 64-177 km/h and stretch over 75m across. Different types of tornados include supercell tornados, landspouts, firewhirls, gustnados, and waterspouts. Tornadoes form when warm moist air collides with cold dry air, creating a whirling wind that draws air into its center to form a funnel. Weather services issue tornado watches when conditions are right for tornadoes and tornado warnings when a tornado has been sighted on radar or visually. Tornados can cause significant damage and loss of life.Drought

The document discusses water-related problems in the Valencian Community region of Spain. The two most serious problems are the expansion of desert areas and floods. Freshwater shortage is also a major issue, as the region has a Mediterranean climate with irregular, scanty rainfall and long dry periods. Reasons for freshwater shortage include climate variability, agricultural water usage, and global warming extending drought periods in areas near arid zones. Sociopolitical factors also contribute to water problems in the region.Drought ( Disaster Management)

Drought is a prolonged period of deficient precipitation that causes water shortage, impacting vegetation, animals, and people. There are three main types of drought: hydrological drought refers to deficiencies in surface and subsurface water supplies; meteorological drought involves below average precipitation; and agricultural drought occurs when there is not enough water for crops to grow. Causes of drought include both natural factors like weather patterns and global warming, as well as human factors such as overpopulation, overcultivation, deforestation, and over extraction of water. Effects of drought include hunger, famine, disease, wildfires, and social conflicts. Preventive measures involve practices like growing drought resistant crops, rainwater harvesting, and developing irrigation facilities.

The document discusses the relationship between drought, water scarcity, and conflict around the world. It notes that as the global population tripled in the 20th century, water usage grew six times. By 2030, 30 countries, including 18 in the surrounding region, are projected to have 800 million people facing water scarcity. Several maps show correlations between drought conditions and conflict in places like Syria, Somalia, and Yemen. The document lists the top 10 countries most at risk of water shortages and the top 10 most dangerous countries in the world, with many overlapping countries experiencing both issues due to drought and lack of resources.Table illustrating at least five (5) ecological disasters and/or controversies

Africa faces several environmental problems related to water, including pollution, unequal distribution of water resources, and desertification. Water pollution from industry, agriculture, and human waste contaminates rivers and other water sources. As populations grow, the limited water supply becomes increasingly strained. Deforestation exacerbates desertification by removing vegetation that protects soil from erosion, reducing rainfall. The expanding Sahara desert threatens livelihoods as available land decreases.Senegal- Food Insecurity and the Need for Agricultural Reform

Senegal faces severe food insecurity rooted in colonial agricultural policies, reliance on imported cereals, and vulnerability to climate change impacts. The combination of demographic pressures, environmental degradation, and inadequate agricultural practices exacerbates the crisis, making it difficult for the population to secure adequate nutrition. Policy changes promoting agro-forestry, diversifying crops, and reevaluating land leases are essential for improving food security and sustainability in the face of ongoing challenges.Modeling drought risk assessment

This document discusses the effects of drought and land degradation on agriculture in several regions. It finds that there is medium confidence that some areas have experienced more intense and longer droughts in recent decades, particularly in Southern Europe, West Africa, and East Asia. It also finds medium confidence that some regions may see increased drought duration and intensity, especially in the Mediterranean, Central North America, and Southern Africa. The document analyzes drought hazard, land degradation, exposure of croplands, rangelands and forests. It also examines drought vulnerability based on economic, population and land use indicators. Countries are ranked based on drought hazard, land degradation levels and percentage of areas affected by both.Disaster Management(Drought)

Drought is caused by drier than normal conditions that can lead to water supply problems. The 2013 drought in Maharashtra, India was one of the worst in 40 years after low rainfall. Drought is caused by factors like high temperatures, low soil moisture, demand exceeding supply, and changes in weather patterns. Effects of drought include hunger, lack of drinking water, disease, impacts on wildlife, migration, social conflicts, and war. Precautions to prevent drought include conserving water usage and collecting excess water.Africa - Up in Smoke - Global Warming Vulnerability

This document discusses the vulnerability of Africa to climate change and provides recommendations. Key points:
1) Africa is highly vulnerable to climate change due to widespread poverty and dependence on natural resources for livelihoods. Small-scale farming provides most food and employment but is reliant on rainfall.
2) Climate change is already affecting Africa through increasing drought, worsening food shortages, coastal erosion, and rising sea levels. Projections include more drought in southern Africa and parts of the Horn of Africa by 2050.
3) Recommendations include dramatically increasing support for small-scale, diverse agriculture; rich countries cutting greenhouse gas emissions deeper than Kyoto targets; and ensuring initiatives are "climate-proof" andDROUGHT AND LANDSLIDE

This document discusses drought and was submitted by several students to their professor. It begins by defining drought and then discusses the main causes of drought such as temperature changes, air circulation patterns, soil moisture levels, and the supply and demand of water. It also covers the effects of drought including hunger, disease, wildfires, impacts on wildlife, social conflicts, reduced electricity generation, and migration. Prevention methods involve better water management through interlinking resources, monitoring water levels, changing agricultural practices, and developing water storage. Control measures include prioritizing water use, identifying root zones, irrigation techniques, applying mulch, and checking soil moisture.Africa's environmental policies

The document discusses several environmental issues facing Africa, including pollution, water scarcity, and deforestation. Water pollution from industry and waste is a major problem across Africa. Deforestation due to farming, grazing, and fuel collection is exacerbating desertification, particularly in the Sahel region. As forests and vegetation are removed, soil quality declines and deserts expand, negatively impacting populations and biodiversity.Drought and famine

The Sahel region runs across Africa just south of the Sahara Desert. It experiences 10 months without rain each year followed by unpredictable short rainy seasons. Climate change has made rainfall levels lower over the past 40 years. The sparse vegetation and dry soil leaves the land vulnerable to erosion. When rains do come, torrential downpours wash away topsoil, further damaging the land. Large herds of cattle also overgraze grass down to the roots, exposing the soil.Sahel

- 1. THE IMPACT OF DROUGHT ON THE PEOPLE OF SENEGAL AND SUDAN PRESENTERS: - Kao min hao, - Gde Arya Pradhana, - Ahmad Arkan Min hao : 1, 3, 5,11 Arkan : 4, 7, 8, 9 Dhana: 2, 6, 10
- 2. Overview In this presentation, we will present about problems connected to drought, beneficiaries, which means the benefits of drought, Sudan and Senegal which is two of the countries affected by drought, and the solution of the problem of drought.
- 3. What is Drought? Drought is a weather-related natural disaster. It affects vast regions for months or years. It has an impact on food production and it reduces life expectancy and the economic performance of large regions or entire countries. Its impact results from the relation between a natural event and demands on the water supply. It occurs in virtually all-climatic zones, and its characteristic varies significantly among regions. Drought differs from aridity is a permanent characteristic of regions with low rainfall. Drought is also related to the timing of precipitation. Other climatic factors such as high temperature, high wind, and low relative humidity are often associated with drought.
- 4. Who bene鍖ts? - Economy & Sellers The less quantity of the grown crops in Senegal the higher the prices will be. This means the sellers will make more money but unfortunately the community cannot afford the item and so they suffer from Malnutrition and hunger. - Farmers on another country Some of the main crops that also grow in another country could sell their Crops more expensive than usual, and if the water supply runs out to grow the crops in Senegal, the crops in Senegal will be extremely rare and it could also makes the item really valuable . - The water suppliers Rich peoples that have water in Senegal and sells it to the residence of Senegal, because the drought is destroying the supplies in the lakes, the price that is given to the residence of the Senegal is an extremely high price for a water supply, and so that the people that have no money will be sick or die in lack of water and hygiene. - Enemy Troops If Senegal is stuck in a middle of a war and Senegal is running out of water, Senegal will lose the war, Just like the Horns of Hattin, the Senegals troops will run out of water and will have no energy and stamina to won the war, so conquering Senegal is easier than stealing a candy from a baby.
- 5. Geographical Location The geographical location of Sudan: - Sudan is located at Africa - Sudan is surrounded by Egypt, Libya, Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Eritrea, and the red sea. The geographical location of Senegal: - Senegal is located at Africa - Senegal is surrounded by Mauritania, Mali, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, and Atlantic ocean.
- 6. Current Affairs Now, drought is still a problem in developing countries like Sudan and Senegal. People still have to stay in dry place an experience water shortages because they cant go back to their previous home because of problems like wars and dams.
- 7. Causes Because of drought, and the water dries because of the sunlight. The residence have no more water to grow crops and to drink for the villagers. It really affects the environment around the place that has no water to drink because of drought.
- 8. Problem Drought Affects problems, such as: Water, The Residences Daily lives, Food and even the world Economy. Drought dries water by using its cruel sun rays to dry the lakes and rivers by boiling them all to steam.
- 9. Solution - The government should build water pipe to distribute the clean water to the poor area. - Plant more trees to keep the clean water. - Build a big dam to save water in the rainy season, and can be used at the dry season.
- 10. Conclusion The conclusion is that Drought is a weather-related natural disaster that could go for months or years. Many people still experience drought. Drought is a problem to most of the people. But, there are some people that get benefits out of drought. The people that are facing the problems of drought are now coming up with solutions to overcome the problem of drought.
