The Three Gorges Dam in China has provided some key advantages like clean energy generation, flood control along the Yangtze River, and improved shipping access inland. However, it has also led to high costs, environmental pollution as water flows have slowed, the destruction of cultural sites, and the relocation of millions of people. Additionally, such a large dam project presents safety and national security risks if it were to be damaged.

The Three Gorges Dam in China displaced over 1.2 million people to create a massive hydroelectric project. It is the world's largest dam and created a 600 km reservoir, but also caused widespread environmental degradation and difficulties relocating people. While it aims to control floods, generate power, and enable river transportation, critics argue it has exacerbated droughts, pollution, landslides and done little for most who lost homes and livelihoods to the project.Flood presentation

Floods occur when heavy rainfall or melting snow causes river channels and basins to exceed their carrying capacity. They can be exacerbated by human activities like urbanization and deforestation. Around 12% of India's land is flood-prone, particularly areas in the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and peninsular river basins. Flash floods occur in mountainous areas from intense rainfall, while riverine floods result from precipitation over large areas. Floods cause damage to property and infrastructure, loss of life, and waterborne diseases. They also negatively impact agriculture and long-term economic development.Case studies flood in britain & bangladesh

Flooding is extremely dangerous and can wipe away entire cities and coastal areas, causing extensive damage to life and property. It occurs when an area of dry land is suddenly submerged under water due to heavy rain, river overflow, dam breaking, or snow and ice melt. Flash floods can occur suddenly while others may build over days or months. Flooding destroys infrastructure like roads, bridges, and buildings and disrupts people's lives. It has significant economic and environmental impacts.L9 Bangladesh Gcse Aqa A

Flooding is a regular occurrence in Bangladesh due to its location and geography. Several factors contribute to flooding, including heavy monsoon rains, melting snows from the Himalayas, and lack of drainage. This results in over 50% of the country being flooded during monsoon season. Flooding has both benefits and consequences - it replenishes soils but also destroys homes and crops. The government and aid organizations work to provide emergency relief and implement long-term solutions like embankments, dams, and flood shelters. However, fully addressing the flooding challenges faces issues of cost, sustainability, and environmental and social impacts.Floods

Floods occur when heavy rain or storms cause rivers and streams to overflow their banks, submerging normally dry land under water. Common causes include excessive rain, dam or levee ruptures, rapid snow melt, or blocked river flows. Floods typically result in widespread property damage and loss of life. Major floods in India include the devastating 2005 floods in Maharashtra that killed over 5,000 people, the 2006 floods in North Bihar that damaged over 75,000 hectares of farmland, and the widespread South Asian floods of 2007 that displaced over 13 million Indians. Flood control methods center around altering river channels, building levees, and improving drainage infrastructure.Kashmir floods 2014

Floods are natural disasters that occur when there is too much rainwater or overflow from river banks. There are different types of floods such as riverine floods caused by heavy rain, coastal floods caused by tidal storms, and catastrophic floods caused by hurricanes. Floods can cause physical damage, casualties, contaminated water supplies, and damage to crops. However, floods also make soil more fertile by providing nutrients. To mitigate floods, coastal defenses like sea walls and barriers have been constructed. Major flood-prone areas include China, Vietnam, Romania, Netherlands, and Bangladesh. Bangladesh frequently experiences monsoon floods from four major rivers that have killed hundreds and affected millions of people.Flood ppt

Floods in India can have various causes and effects. Flooding may occur due to overflowing rivers and bodies of water, heavy rainfall that cannot soak into the ground, or inadequate drainage systems. Common types of floods include areal flooding on flat lands, riverine flooding when rivers exceed capacity, and urban flooding which can damage infrastructure. Floods can damage homes and businesses, disrupt services like power and water, and sometimes result in loss of life.Floods in India

Floods occur when land is submerged by excessive water, such as from heavy rainfall, snow melt, high tides, or overflowing rivers and lakes. They have natural causes like storms, rainfall, snow melt, and atmospheric processes; and human causes involving deforestation, urban development, and greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation reduces vegetation that intercepts rainfall, increasing surface runoff. Urbanization clears land and replaces vegetation with impermeable surfaces, also boosting surface runoff. Greenhouse gases cause global warming which increases heavy rainfall and raises sea levels. Human activities have contributed to more frequent and severe flooding.Flood hazards in india

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 Ni単o, 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.Mozambique floods powerpoint

Mozambique experienced catastrophic flooding in 2000 due to continuous heavy rainfall over 5 weeks that was exacerbated by a hurricane, totaling over 1,163mm of rain compared to the average of 177mm. The floods killed many thousands of people, left 1 million homeless, and caused huge economic losses. Disease and malnutrition spread due to a lack of clean water, food, and medical supplies after infrastructure like bridges and roads were destroyed. Flood risk is managed through limited monitoring, but the country cannot afford major prevention schemes due to poverty. International aid helped rescue and supply refugee camps, though conditions remained poor.Bangladesh Flood Action Plan

This document discusses the evolution of flood action planning in Bangladesh over several decades. It began with national water planning approaches in the 1960s and 1980s that emphasized large-scale infrastructure projects but overlooked other factors. In response to devastating 1988 floods, the Flood Action Plan was developed which initially proposed a structural flood control approach but later incorporated more participation and environmental considerations. Post-FAP planning has further emphasized participatory and multi-sectoral approaches, as well as regional cooperation, to better manage flooding in Bangladesh. Implementing these new planning principles remains an ongoing challenge.Flooding 5 Bangladesh Gcse Aqa A

This document provides an overview of dam engineering and the history of dam construction. It discusses that dams were first constructed over 8,000 years ago for irrigation purposes. The 20th century saw a rapid increase in large dam construction, with over 45,000 large dams built globally by the end of the century. China alone has built around 22,000 large dams, accounting for nearly half of the world's total. Dams were promoted as a means to meet water and energy needs and foster regional development. Factors governing dam type selection include valley topography, geology and foundation conditions, availability of construction materials, and environmental and cost considerations.17.

While over 1000 dams were under construction in 1994, the rate of completion has declined from around 1000 per year from the 1950s to the 1970s to around 260 per year in the early 1990s. Large dams have faced significant opposition due to the huge numbers of people displaced, estimated between 40 to 80 million displaced globally, mostly in China and India, with many impoverished and suffering after being forced to relocate. Dams have also flooded over 400,000 square kilometers of land and over 13,500 people have been killed inThe Three Gorges Dam

Sakshi Saraf wrote a document about water recycling and utilization. The document provided details about the multi-step water recycling process, including primary treatment using physical processes to remove contaminants, secondary treatment using biological processes, and advanced treatment/disinfection using chemicals. It described how recycled water can be utilized for landscape irrigation, groundwater recharge, and streamflow augmentation. The document also discussed how hard water forms mineral deposits due to reactions between calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate ions, and methods to remove these ions through lime-soda processing or household ion exchange systems.Dams

The Three Gorges Dam project on China's Yangtze River will be the largest dam in the world once completed. It aims to provide electricity, flood control, and navigation improvements. Over 1.2 million people will need to be resettled as the dam forms a huge reservoir flooding over 600 square kilometers of land. Both benefits like power generation and costs like environmental impacts and cultural losses are substantial.City Transformation due to Ecological Imbalances
City Transformation due to Ecological ImbalancesIram Aziz
油
Urban areas are cultural and technological epicenters ranging from quaint municipalities to sprawling megacities. They have existed for millennia. But over the last half century, their size and influence has been expanding rapidly, particularly in emerging nations like China and India. This rapid urban growth has caused environmental issues like pollution, waste management problems, and loss of habitat. Many cities have tried to address these issues by covering rivers that flowed through them, although this causes new ecological problems by removing vital freshwater ecosystems.Water chinaly

Chinas growth momentum is now entrenched in its political economy, but will be destabilized by the resulting water shortages and pollution. Historically, Chinas culture and institutions were shaped by the high social returns to large-scale water management, but today its market-driven local governments have little capacity or motivation to address the looming water crisis. Instead, the likely response is the interception of neighbouring countries water flows, whose sources are conveniently concentrated in Tibet.TEHRI DAM & ITS IMPLICATIONS
TEHRI DAM & ITS IMPLICATIONSA Y V CHENULU

The Tehri Dam is a 260.5m high dam on the Bhagirathi River in Uttarakhand, India. It was initially taken up by the Uttar Pradesh government in the 1970s and is now a joint venture between the central and state governments. The dam provides hydroelectric power and supports irrigation and water supply. However, it has faced significant protests due to environmental and social impacts, including the displacement of over 100,000 people. Critics argue the dam's design is unsafe given the seismic activity in the region and a failure could impact over 10 million people. While steps have been taken to mitigate impacts, many argue the costs of the project outweigh the benefits.Rivers, floods and management

The document discusses drainage basins, the storm hydrograph, river erosion processes and landforms, flooding causes and impacts, and flood management strategies. It describes the hydrological cycle within a drainage basin and factors that influence the shape of a storm hydrograph. It outlines river erosion mechanisms and key landforms in the upper, middle and lower courses such as potholes, waterfalls, meanders, and deltas. Causes of flooding include excessive rainfall and development that increases runoff. Impacts are economic, social and environmental. Flood management includes hard and soft engineering approaches.Flood

Floods occur when water overflows or breaks levees and causes water to escape its usual boundaries. There are several principal types of floods including areal, riverine, estuarine, coastal, and catastrophic floods. Floods can cause primary effects like physical damage, secondary effects like diseases and food shortages, and long-term economic impacts. Flood control involves defenses like levees, reservoirs, and emergency measures. Major floods throughout history have caused massive loss of life.The Hoover Dam And Its Construction Essay

The document discusses the construction of the Hoover Dam between 1931-1936, noting that it took over 100 lives and faced many challenges due to its remote location. Tunnels had to be dug through the bedrock and concrete poured to divert the Colorado River, while workers faced immense danger. The dam transformed the landscape and economy of the Southwest United States by providing flood control, hydroelectric power and enabling growth in industries like mining and agriculture.Deltares sustainable development of 8 deltas

- The three courses (upper, middle, lower) that rivers pass through as they travel from their source to their mouth.
- Key landforms and features associated with rivers like tributaries, meanders, and flood plains.
- Erosional processes like hydraulic action, abrasion, and solution that shape river valleys and landscapes over time.
- Flooding impacts on people and the environment as well as methods for predicting, preparing for, and managing floods.Ecological impacts of dams & water diversions 
Ecological impacts of dams & water diversions MrJewett
油
Dams and water diversions can have both positive and negative ecological impacts. Positively, dams provide benefits like hydropower, irrigation, flood control and more. However, they can also harm wildlife such as disrupting fish migration and reducing sediments downstream. This impacts wetland species and water quality. Dams may also cause erosion of downstream areas and change water temperature, flow and salinity levels. Large dam projects have additionally displaced many people from their homes. Examples highlighted are the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River.Recently uploaded (20)

Prosandcons
- 1. Advantages Energy: Clean power to alleviate China's shortage of power (especially clean power). Flood control: Yangtze river is China's largest and are very prone to flooding. Shipping and commerce: Now large ships can go much farther up river. So it connects water way from the ocean all the way up to Chinese heartland. That is why it has some of the world's largest locks to carry ship upstream Politic: It becomes an icon of China and a technological marvel. Disadvantages Cost - It cost far more to construct than a collection of smaller dams upriver. And the return is slow and long process. Pollution - With slower flow of water, pollution collects behind the dam and water quality reduces. With increased traffic, it will also affect water quality in the long run. Water near cities down stream have become more polluted due to decrease water levels. Culture: Many culture relics are destroyed or buried due to contruction and rising of the water People: Millions of people have to be relocated and communities are change for better or worse. Corruption: Major projects like this creates opportunity for money mis-management. Safety: The dam has become a major military target. The safety of the people living down stream depending on the safety of the dam. It can potentially become a targe of military conflict or terrioism. Environment: The dam has altered the mountains surrounding the area. Three Gorges is no longer as impressive as it used to be. The mountains are under massive pressure from the lake created by the dam to cause earthquakes, landslides and erosion. Politic: It now becomes a national security concerns (terrorism)
