this about the floods and drought in the enviroment.

3. EFFECTS OF OVER UTILIZATION OF WATER Decrease of Ground Water Ground Subsidence Lowering of Water table Intrusion of Salt water Earth quake & Landslides Drying up of wells Pollution of water

4. Decrease of ground water

5. Ground Subsidence

6. Lowering of water table

7. Intrusion of salt water

8. Earth quake landslides

9. Drying up of wells

10. Pollution of water

11. FLOODS It is an overflow of water Happens when the water exceeds the carrying limit of dams,lakes,ponds,,etc

12. Causes of floods Heavy rainfall,melting of snow, sudden release of water from dams. Deforestation,overgrazing,mining increases the runoff from rains and hence the level of floods raises.

13. FLOODS EFFECTS Water spread in surrounding areas. Plain surface became eroded and silted with mud. Extinction of civilization MANAGEMENT Constructing dams and reservoirs. Channel management, embankments also control the floods Fore casting, flood warning

14. DROUGHT Scarcity of water Occurs due to inadequate rainfall Failure of monsoons Excessive withdrawal of ground water

15. Causes of drought Annul rainfall in minimum , less than the evaporation High population Intensive cropping pattern and over exploitation of scarce water resources through dug well or bore well.

16. drought EFFECTS Hunger , malnutrition , scarcity of drinking water. Desertification. Degradation of natural resource Large migration of people and urbanization MANAGEMENT Rain water harvesting. Improve ground level water Modern irrigation technology

17. CONFLICT OVER WATER Conflicts through use Unequal distribution of water has often led to inter state or international disputes Constructions of dams Hydroelectric power generation, dams are built across the rivers, which initiates conflict between the states

18. Conflicts through pollution Production of electricity and shipping , rivers and lakes are also used for industrial purpose.

19. Management of conflicts over water Efforts are mainly concentrated to enact laws to check these practices to control water pollution. Demand of nationalisation of water needs serious consideration
