This document discusses landslides, including their causes, types, effects, indicators, prevention, and safety measures. It defines landslides as the downward movement of soil, rock, and vegetation under gravity. Key points include that landslides occur when resisting forces are less than driving forces, and can be triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, erosion, deforestation, and human activities like excavation. The document outlines common landslide types and describes their impacts, such as damage to infrastructure, loss of life, and secondary hazards like flooding. It provides guidance on landslide hazard mapping, mitigation strategies, and safety precautions during landslide events.Wonders of nature canyons

In this chapter some of the facts and figures related to the floods is mentioned. Reticular canal system for interlinking rivers is a system in which the interlinking canal will intersect the river at the place where the flow of water is not too high or low, thus most of the water generated in one particular river catchment area will be diverted to drought prone areas at the higher level before huge water mass forms and causing the flood. Threats And Responses

The document discusses various internal threats faced by ancient civilizations in India, China, and Southeast Asia including natural disasters like floods, famines, diseases, and volcanic eruptions. It also examines civil wars, peasant rebellions, military rebellions, succession disputes, and warfare that occurred due to factors such as unpopular rulers and policies, social unrest, and power struggles between ruling elites. Strategies used to deal with threats included rebuilding flooded cities, constructing dykes, and maintaining a spy system, though internal struggles sometimes led to a change in ruling dynasties or foreign conquest.North India Floods

In June 2013, heavy rainfall and flooding in the Indian states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh caused widespread destruction. Over 5,700 people were presumed dead with thousands more stranded. The floods damaged or destroyed hundreds of villages, bridges and roads, leaving over 100,000 pilgrims and tourists trapped. Rescue efforts involving the Indian Air Force, Army and other groups evacuated over 110,000 people but the death toll continued rising. Environmental factors like deforestation and development activities were believed to have exacerbated the impact of the flooding.AID India construts Eureka Homes at Koovathur Colony

The document summarizes a study on the 2010 flash flood in Leh, Ladakh, India that killed over 200 people. It describes the topography and climate of Ladakh, and notes that increased temperatures have caused glaciers to recede and tributaries to change course, threatening villages. It discusses the specific conditions that led to the 2010 flood - increased rainfall, snowmelt, and a cloud burst that dropped 14 inches of rain in 2 hours. The flood damaged over 1,000 homes and killed many people. Relief efforts included search and rescue, food and supplies, and temporary housing. The traditional resilience of Ladakhi people helped in recovery.Geo l15 flood_drought_india

1) India experiences both floods and droughts due to its monsoon climate and geography. Heavy rainfall and river systems make some regions flood-prone, while others face drought due to low and irregular rainfall.
2) Watershed management programs aim to conserve water and increase groundwater levels through small check dams, afforestation, and community participation. This helps mitigate both floods and droughts.
3) For drought-prone areas, solutions include expanding irrigation, rainwater harvesting, drought-resistant crops, and alternative livelihoods to strengthen farmers' resilience to water shortages.Flood Disaster Mgmt Lj180909

This document discusses flood disaster management and lessons from Malaysia's experience. It outlines three key points:
1) The importance of maintaining natural river corridors and floodways to allow for natural floodwater discharge, as well as limiting human settlement in these areas.
2) A three-step approach to managing flood disaster risks: removing hazards by relocating people, reducing exposure through land use management and flood management works, and reducing vulnerability by preparing for floods.
3) The need for multi-stakeholder partnerships and integrated flood management, especially in light of increased flood risks due to climate change.Floods, Flooding And Management

1) Rivers flood naturally when a river's discharge exceeds its channel capacity, but human activities can increase flood risk. Precipitation levels, relief, vegetation, geology and soil types are physical factors influencing floods.
2) Calculating flood frequency involves ranking flood sizes each year and using an equation involving the number of years observed and the flood's rank to determine the recurrence interval. However, historical data and variability mean floods aren't guaranteed to occur on schedule.
3) Human causes of increased flooding include urbanization, deforestation, river management practices like dams, and climate change effects like heavier storms and melting ice caps. A case study of the 2004 Boscastle floods in England is presented.Monsoon Of India
Monsoon Of IndiaAkriti Mishra
Ìý
A monsoon is a seasonal change in wind direction that typically brings a marked change in local weather. It refers mainly to the Asian monsoon affecting India and Southeast Asia. The monsoon winds are caused when temperature differences between oceans and continents lead to winds blowing from land to ocean most of the year, but from ocean to land during certain months, bringing moist air and monsoon rains. Many parts of the world experience monsoons, most notably Asia where the monsoons are critical for agriculture and life in regions like India.Uttarakhand flood response - Save the Children

Floods are the most common natural disaster in India, caused by heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon season that overwhelms rivers like the Ganges and Yamuna. Two major flood events highlighted are the 2013 Uttarakhand floods, where unprecedented rainfall triggered landslides and glacial lake outbursts that killed over 6,000 people, and the 2015 Chennai floods resulting from heavy northeast monsoon rains exacerbated by climate change effects like El Niño, which killed over 400 people and displaced over 1.8 million. Flood mitigation requires measures like protecting the environment from deforestation, restricting construction, modernizing early warning systems, and educating the public on safety precautions.Kosi Flood in India ( Bihar) - a national calamity

The 2008 Kosi floods in Bihar, India were unprecedented in their scale and impact. Over 1.2 crore (12 million) people were displaced and the damage caused was estimated to be over Rs. 10,000 crore (US$2 billion). The floods submerged over 1 lakh hectares of crops and destroyed over 866 villages. It is feared that over 1 lakh people may have lost their lives. The rehabilitation is massive and will take a long time given the widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure across several districts of North Bihar.the northern mountains-himalayas

The Himalayas are the highest mountain range in the world, stretching 2500 km across northern India. The range contains 9 of the 10 highest peaks globally, including Mount Everest at 8848 meters. The Himalayas are divided into three parallel ranges - the Greater Himalayas, Middle Himalayas, and Outer Himalayas. Life is sparse in the inhospitable Greater Himalayas, but the Middle Himalayas contain hill stations and forests, and the Outer Himalayas and Terai region are agriculturally productive. Deforestation threatens Himalayan ecosystems, so the government has established protected areas and tree planting initiatives.Indian monsoons tam 2013-19

The document discusses monsoons, which are seasonal winds that change direction with the seasons. Monsoons occur due to differences in land and sea temperatures causing changes in atmospheric pressure. India's climate is dominated by monsoons, with summer monsoons from June to September bringing most of India's rainfall. Monsoons are important but also cause floods and droughts depending on rainfall variability from year to year. Predicting monsoon rainfall amounts is challenging but important for agriculture and the economy.Marine resource of india

Most people are used to receiving regular monthly pay cheques, hopefully with the occasional bonus and an annual rise. But while this is often taken for granted, for other workers the size and timing of their pay cheques are far more volatile – with knock on effects on their ability to pay bills, save, plan ahead and smooth their living standards over time.
