Statement Of Purpose Of River Padma

There are several courses of action T&T can take in moving forward from the disaster while meeting its business goals and timelines. The first option is to keep production in Bangladesh. This option provides several pros: Keeping their efficient production in Bangladesh is fiscally attractive to T&T due to duty-free access to the European Union, cheaper transportation and labor, and centralized factories. And, from a local economy standpoint, rebuilding within the community will show the

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the deadliest and most destructive in recent history. It was even catastrophic for a country like Maldives that never experienced disasters of such scale. While some of the islands in Maldives were completely destroyed and a significant number of lives lost; the damages to economy, infrastructure, environment and human psyche was immeasurable (Pardasani, 2006, p. 80). Having only dealt with storm surges and localized flooding, “there were no operational plans or capacity to deal with a disaster of this magnitude” in Maldives (Government of Maldives, et al., 2005, p. 9). Despite some organizational shortcomings, mostly owing to their lack of experience in managing large-scale disasters and limited

From this tragic incident, we learned that we need to have people and systems monitoring rivers and other bodies of water, despite it being a holiday. We also learned that prevention and mitigation goes a long way in the incident of a flood or any other disaster. The money, the lives, and the time that is saved by a little preparation and planning is so minuscule compared to the recovery that would be spent. We also learned and it finally sunk in that we as a nation have to be prepared not only in our technology and waterways but also in our mindset.

Embankments have been broken, bridges have been washed away; villages have been waterlogged, cutting off all communications for days together. The utmost damage has been caused to the towns and villages of Assam by the Brahmaputra floods. The government must put up protective embankments; help the easy drainage of water by removing artificial obstructions, and by adopting local remedies for particular regions. It has been rightly said, "Rivers that overtop their banks and flood the adjacent lowlands offer a challenge to the people who must be ready to protect their fields from

Bhopal is the capital city of Madhya Pradesh, the largest and one of the most economically depressed states in the nation. At 1970s, the public health infrastructure, sewage and waste system in Bhopal are still in very poor condition . Besides, mass casualty emergency response system also lacking in Bhopal.

Catastrophes and disasters occur frequently and indiscriminately. From acts of terror to acts of god, our species has witnessed immense loss of life with plenty of opportunity to prevent it. None is truer than the disaster of the Savar building (Rana Plaza) collapse in April 2013 in Dhaka, Bangladesh which resulted in the death toll upward of 1,053. At Rana plaza, corporate greed, corrupt government, and exploitation of the poor combined to allow for the deadliest garment factory massacre in history. The collapse of the plaza can be analyzed from two points of views. One is structurally, or as a physical failure, which was caused by poor foundation, pitiable construction, and excess weight on the building. Another analysis is ethically or how engineers, workers, and the government could have prevented this crisis. Overall the failure of Rana Plaza can be summed in two words: ignorance and greed.

In conclusion, it is apparent that both the MEDC and the LEDC experienced a variety of impacts producing a multiple chain of cost however impact severity was clearly more drastic in the case Bangladesh as it is an LEDC and its emergency plans and general infrastructure is less developed compared to England

Fourteen of my friends, of computer science students of our College, including one of friend’s twin sister, drowned when they ventured into a treacherous sea off the Murud beach ignoring warnings during our excursion. I was one of the six who was rescued by the fishermen. These kind fishermen also assisted the coast guard in recovering the bodies of the other victims. As my friends were described in the news. In all we were twenty four students who had gone with our teacher three other staff members of our college in a private bus for the picnic at Murud, about 44 km from Alibaug town in Raigad district near Mumbai. Now being carried back in ambulance.

My active involvements in these projects have further evolved my skills of design, development, production and manufacturing. Understanding requirements, implementing with effective and efficient cost practices, preparing documentations have greatly improved my skills of technical analysis, design and logic. In this project, I interacted with various professors and experts which helped for me the spirit of communication. After understanding the real picture of how innovations and advancement in the field of industrial engineering could provide cutting edge solutions to organizations. Hence, I have decided to pursue graduate studies in order to gain deeper insight into these

River Padma, the biggest and most raging river of Bangladesh, is only twenty kilometers from the village where I grew up hearing about the sinking of locally manufactured launch which regularly took a toll of thousands of lives. I just always asked myself why this type of accident happens. As the Padma has alienated the southern part of our country from the other regions, it is a must for people in those areas to cross the river to reach the capital city, Dhaka. In the year of 2008 when I first came to Dhaka, I had a bitter experience of observing such accident. Horrible scene of hundreds of people dying in front of me made me seriously rethink- how can we resolve this problem? This question drove me to choose Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME) as my major in university level and having the opportunity to be a student of the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) was a great achievement for me.

“Bangladesh is the nature's laboratory on natural disaster.” says Ainun Nishat, from the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Devastated by floods, a low lying south Asian country with a high poverty rate and severe food insecurity, suffers the consequences of on-going destructive natural disasters. Their habitual food insecurity is one of the most concerning outcomes that significantly impacts people’s wellbeing. One of the local citizen uttered, “The flood has washed away all our happiness, my son had three acres of rice and crops and all is now underwater. What will we eat now? My family will starve. “ Bangladesh’s food security is extremely vulnerable and tremendously deteriorated under three major threats, continual climate changes, water scarcity, and poverty .

Earlier, the worst that could happen if you braved the slime of Kathmandu’s streets were stinking feet and ruined shoes, muddy trackmarks on the back of your pants, or maybe a rash. Now, you could die. There was news of an electrical wire that fell into the street and electrocuted three men walking through it. Another girl, Binita Phuyal from Nepaltar, fell into a drain and didn’t make it out alive. Responding to outrage, the prime minister issued an edict to fix all potholes within a fortnight. The potholes might have been fixed since but the flooding continues.

The Ganges River in India is an important river system that provides water for personal use, industry, and agriculture for well over half a million people. This river also serves a major role in the region’s cultural and religious practices. It is widely believed that this body of water is the Earthly manifestation of the Hindu goddess Ganga. For thousands of years, people have believed that Ganga can wash away a lifetime of sins and, therefore, no amount of pollution can harm her (Conway). As a result of this belief, industrial, agricultural, and human waste are dumped into the river on a daily basis.

The night of 3rd December marked an industrial disaster when more than 40 tons of methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India that instantly led to the death of approximately 3,800 people and causing permanent injuries for thousands more. The company involved shamelessly tried to avoid its legal responsibility. Nonetheless, a sum of $470 million was paid as compensation, a considerably small amount in comparison to the impact from the consequences of this tragedy. The aftermath of the disaster indicated the need for international standards for environmental safety and preventive strategies to sustain from similar accidents.
