India 's Impact On The City Of India

There have been droughts severe droughts around the world infact you have an example. “Australia has just come through a thirteen-year duration of drought it was catastrophic in that country. The way that they delt with it was, believe it or not, was concerving water and rain water harvesting. It wasn’t all the high teck stuff and yet we here in California need a desalinization plant. I mean it does help. But the main strength in what they accomplished in that country of ausralia was the fact that the worked together they reduced their water reduction through concervation practices and they put up tank systems on their properties to collect rain water from their gutters. That’s how they did it.”

As a result of the drought rain is scarce, so when it does rain we should take a full initiative to direct it to our advantage. Rain does so much for the Earth as it filters the air, provides water for plants, and replenishes streams and lakes. When rainwater is not doing any of these tasks it is going to waste flooding

The weather has caused a lot of disaster and loss of life’s. Due to these situations many people

India suffers a lot from a disaster called 'Drought '. Indian government puts on large amount of money for the drought affected region. But corruption takes place and the water is not properly supplied to the drought affected area. Instead of supplying more water to the region less amount of water is supplied due to corruption and people there are forced to suffer lot. The money just

This is not something you hear on the news or read in the newspapers. In fact, I was surprised at this, because it never really crossed my mind. Even though we see big, natural disasters such as the recent earthquake in Nepal, or the massive flood in Chennai, India: see more here: https://www.worldvision.org/disaster-response-news-stories/worst-natural-disasters-2015

Geographically, Visakhapatnam is situated in the middle of Chennai-Kolkata Coromandal Coast. The city coordinates lies between 17°41'18″North latitude and 83°13'07″East longitude. This area is covered with hills of range between 30 m to 594 m above mean sea level. Geologically, Visakhapatnam has major folds which are traced in the direction of north east and south west of Eastern Ghats hilly region. The geography and geomorphologic characteristics make it prone to earthquakes and cyclones. The city has experienced disasters like floods (water logging) and landslides events in the past yeaRS. Climatologically Visakhapatnam has a Tropical Savanna Climate (Köppen climate classification Aw), with little change in temperature throughout the year. May is the hottest month with an average maximum temperature about 36°C, and January is the coolest month with an average maximum temperature near 29 °C. With the city's location on the Bay of Bengal, the humidity is high throughout the year. The hills surrounding the city on its western side aid in maintaining pleasant weather in

In our increasingly globalized world, where the population grows by thousands each day, the needs of people are amplified. In arid countries/regions (i.e. Libya, the Western Sahara region), the lack of water and population growth, for example, are causing increasing problems between citizen and government. The citizen suffers and feels helpless because the government is not effective at doing its job of protecting its

Water is the main source of life on the Earth. It is vital for normal existence and functioning of organisms. Earth is sometimes called “water planet.” But, in fact, the number of freshwater is limited. “Only about 2 percent of the planet's water is fresh.” (How much water is there on Earth?) This water is not enough even to meet daily needs of mankind. According to World Health Organization, “a lack of water to meet daily needs is a reality today for one in three people around the world.” (2009) In the Middle East the situation is especially hard. This region is thought to be one of the droughtiest places in the world, most of it’s territory is deserted. Freshwater accounts to 1 percent of the world’s supplies, while the population comes

Did you know that India is the second most populated country in the world with over 1.2 billion people? This heavily populated country’s history and culture was, and still is, affected by its geography. For example, The Ganges River provided some irrigation, but was mostly known for its religious significance in the Hindu faith. The Indus River provided fertile land for the Indus Valley civilization and allowed agriculture to flourish, but also flooded, which was part of the civilization’s economical weakening. Another factor that which brought the fall of the civilization was the Hindu Kush Mountain Range; although it provided some protection, paths were discovered by invaders that permitted them to cross over and quell.

Presently droughts occurring every two years and when it does rain only fractions of what the region is used to comes down because a rise in of this food prices, homelessness, diseases, social chaos is in full heat. One in every 3 people you see is dying from malnutrition.Feeding centers and medical supply demands are so high and the respond to get food and water there is not happening fast enough.If poor hygiene continues death will be the result.

India is country known all over the world for its culture and tradition. It is a land with various cultures and traditions which are as vast as the subcontinent upon which they are located. This essay will focus on the Indian culture and highlight the different beliefs that Indians have on life processes. The essay will show the different methods Indians use to stay healthy and how the Indian culture can determine how healthcare services are provided to the people.

Throughout history, many countries were colonized by stronger forces. India is no different; it was colonized by the British during the mid 18th century until the 20th centuries, which is the combination of the eras, also known as the “British rule in Burma”and “British Raj.” Often, it is arguable whether colonization had an influence in forming a societal or cultural aspects of the country that is being occupied. Specifically, the British colonization of India shaped and had an impact on the culture, education and government rule in India.

As the population grows, cities are constructed along rivers and other waterways, and the sources are modified to meet urban needs rather than ecological. More and more food needs to be grown to nourish people. Now, land is degrading and sea levels are rising, making growing impossible in many former farming areas. Because of this, "... 800 million people are chronically malnourished, and 2 billion lack food security" (Dahl, 603). Because agriculture for the masses depends heavily on irrigation, it puts additional strain on the globe's water tables (Dahl, 602). Not to mention that current water sources are being polluted by sewer discharge and industrial waste. Deforestation is another issue. Forests and other natural vegetation help protect against flooding and soil erosion. In the 1990s, 563,709 square miles of land were cleared of forests (Dahl, 602). Without these forests, global warming has been accelerated as more carbon is released into the atmosphere, rather than being consumed as fuel by plants and released as oxygen. For example, in India and Sri Lanka, a tsunami, unhindered by the mangroves that used to grow there, destroyed

The year 2010 is estimated to mark the transition of a majority (50.6%) of the world‟s population from rural to urban. UNPD. (2007) The most alarming implications of rapid urbanization include irrevocable alteration of local and global environments, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources and widening social equity gaps within urban areas. With the migration of masses from rural to urban ares cities are overcrowded and vulnerability and exposure aspects accruing it are in the state of change. Against this background it is imperative to examine the responses from these urban masses to the various disasters in the urban areas. One particularly problematic aspect of this challenge is the selection of appropriate adjustments and adaptations to natural hazards that are exacerbated by urbanization. The present dissertation seeks to examine the existing approaches to flood hazard risk reduction in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.Floods are considered the most common and highly damaging of all hazards, and it has been predicted that they are likely to become more frequent, more prevalent and more serious in the years to come (Muchtar & Bahar 2010) especially in fast growing cities of the world which are witnessing rapid urbanisation. Compared to other types of natural disasters, they account for approximately 20-40% of the events which are reported (Sene 2008). Their nature is governed by various factors, which include the properties of the drainage, rainfall

As the greenhouse effect aggravates, frozen earth begins to melt, sea level starts to rise and precipitation patterns are changing. Followed by extreme weather, such as hurricane, tsunami, flood, extreme heat, drought, and tornado, becomes more frequent and more intense, additionally more difficult to be predicted. Due to this, in past ten years, natural disaster affects over 220 million people, and over 100 million US dollars are damaged per year; only in 2011, economic damage caused by urban disaster at over 380 billion US dollars. However, the largest damage is not the direct economic losses, but the cost of post-disaster reconstruction. The worst thing is, for some place which has chronic or frequent crises, for instance the drought in Horn of Africa, tsunami in Hawaiian Islands, hurricane in Louisiana and Florida, require deal with the threats frequently, rather than only deal with the consequences.
