    This document discusses rainfall as a catastrophe in India that can lead to either floods or droughts. It notes that more rainfall causes floods, while meager rainfall results in droughts. It provides maps showing drought and flood prone areas in India, and details that currently 42% of India's land area and 500 million people are facing drought. It explains that the El Nino effect and lack of rainfall negatively impact India's monsoon and explains the current drought situation in Hyderabad with low water levels in reservoirs. Causes of floods in India and Assam as well as drought are outlined. Prevention methods for floods like dam monitoring and for drought like water saving are suggested. The document concludes by noting the importance of sustainable development and water management

    Present Day
    -42% Land Area (8% severe)
    -500 Million People (40% of total)

    facing drought!!
    Monsoon
    in various
    states of
    India till
    mid-July
    of 2019
    The Main Reason

    El Nino effect
    It is the warming of surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean
    El Nino affects the flow of moisture-bearing winds from the
    cooler oceans towards India, negatively impact the summer
    monsoon, which accounts for over 70% of annual rainfall.
    Drought Situation in Hyderabad

    • Rainfall playing hide and seek.


    • No inflow of fresh water in catchment
    areas.
    • Nearly 10 million population of twin
    cities of Hyderabad and Secundrabad
    starving for water
    Compared to last July, water levels in all the
    reservoirs this July are incredibly down by 12
    ft

    No fresh inflows in the drinking water sources —


    1/ Nagarjunasagar (Krishna),
    2/Sripada Yellampally (Godavari) and
    3/twin reservoirs of Osmansagar and Himayatsagar
    What Is Flood ???
    Causes Of Flood In Assam

    Consistent Landslides
    Consistent Earthquakes
    Bank Erosions
    Decrease in Forest belt
    CAUSES OF FLOOD IN INDIA

     HEAVY RAINFALL
     POOR DRAINAGE AND
    CONGESTION
     LAND DEPREESION
     DEFORESTED
    CATCHMENT AREAS
    CAUSES OF DROUGHT IN INDIA

    AIR CIRCULATION AND


    WEATHER PATTERN
    SOIL MOISTURE
    DEMAND INCREASE OF
    WATER DUE TO HIGH
    POPULATION
    LAND AND WATER
    TEMPERATURE
    PREVENTION OF FLOOD

     MONITORING OF HYDRAULIC
    DAMS
     MODIFY HOMES TO
    WITHSTAND FLOODS
     IMPROVE DRAINAGE SYSTEM
     PLANT AND PRESERVE
    TREES
    PREVENTION OF DROUGHT

     SAVE WATER
     STORE WATER
     RECYCLE WATER
     AVOID WATER
