NORTH-EASTERN PART OF INDIAN MAINLAND IS VERY PRONE TO FLOODS AS IT IS MOSTLY COVERED BY THE BAY OF BENGAL AND MIGHTY RIVERS LIKE BRAHMAPUTRA.

[Audio] EFFECTS OF FLOOD IN ASSAM  EVEN THOUGH THE FLOODS ARE A GREAT DISADVANTAGE TO A PLACE BUT WE SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER THE ADVANTAGES THAT IT BRINGS TO US ..  ASSAM IS KNOWN FOR ITS VARIOUS AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE AND TEA FARMING. FLOODS ARE VERY VITAL IN AGRICULTURE. THEY ARE VERY USEFUL IN RE - GRADING THE SOIL NUTRIENTS.  FLOODS HELP IN DEPOSITING ALLUVIAL SOIL WHICH IS VERY PERFECT FOR AGRICULTURE.  FLOODS HELP IN REFILLING GROUND WATER LEVELS .

[Audio] EFFECT OF FLOOD IN ASSAM .2  WE KNEW IN LAST SLIDE THAT FLOODS ARE KIND OF IMPORTANT FOR US BUT THEIR ARE MORE DISADVANTAGES OF FLOODS THAN ADVANTAGES...  FLOODS MAKES LAND SLIDES MORE EASILY AND DRIVES AWAY VEGETATION.  FLOODS LEAD TO SEVERAL OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE LANDSLIDES AND SOIL EROSION.  FLOODS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESTROYING HABITATS OF ANIMALS AND HOUSES OF PEOPLES.  FLOODS MAKE AGRICULTURE FIELDS BE UNABLE TO WORK ON..

[Audio] HOW FLOODS OCCUR SO FREQUENTLY IN ASSAM?  ASSAM IS SITUATED AT A PLACE OF NORTHEASTERN INDIA THAT IT IS SOLELY COVERED WITH WATER BODIES.  ASSAM IS ALSO COVERED WITH MOUNTAINS THAT ATTRACT DENSE CLOUDS IN RAINY SEASON. BECAUSE OF CLIMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ASSAM, RAIN IS AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS OF SUMMER SEASON,WHICH MAKES THE WATER BODIES TOTALLY FULL WHICH RESULTS IN OVERFLOW AND LASTLY FLOODS .

[Audio] WHAT PEOPLE DO TO STOP THESE FLOODS ?  PEOPLE OF ASSAM CAN'T DO MUCH TO STOP THESE FLOODS ALONE.  PEOPLE FROM VARIOUS STATES, EVEN COUNTRIES DONATE IN CHARITY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE EFFECTED DURING FLOODS.  IF FLOODS ARE TOO DRASTIC THEN, THE AREA OF FLOOD IS EVACUATED. .

[Audio] WHAT SHOULD WE DO DURING FLOOD?  SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING A FLOOD  GO TO HIGHER GROUNDS OF SHELTER TO AVOID FLOODS  CLOSE THE WINDOWS AND DOORS TO AVOID DISEASE CAUSING INSECTS ENTER YOUR HOME  BOIL THE WATER THOROUGHLY BEFORE DRINKING TO AVOID CONTAMINATION  DON'T LET WATER BE STRORED IN YOUR HOMES TO AVOID BREEDING OF MOSQUITOS.

[Audio] WHAT ROLE DOES GOVERNMENT PLAY TO AVOID FLOODS ?  GOVERNMENT PLAYS A VITAL ROLE TO AVOID FLOODS AND ENSURE SAFETY OF AFFECTED PEOPLE  GOVERNMENT INVESTS IN MAKING OF BORDERS AROUND RIVERS THAT ARE PRONE TO FLOODING  GOVERNMENT ENSURES SAFETY BY SENDING HELICOPTER RESCUERS DURING FLOOD.  GOVERNMENT MAINTAINS A PART OF ANNUAL BUDGET TO SUPPORT DURING NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE FLOODS.

[Audio] CAN FLOODS BE STOPPED FOREVER?  EVEN IF GOVERNMENT PUTS MONEY TO MAKE BORDERS NEAR RIVERS FLOODS HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO DESTROY THE BORDERS AND COME AGAIN STRONGER.  AT LAST WE SHOULD ADAPT TO THESE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS BECAUSE ITS NOT SO BAD FOR US.  ONE THING WE SHOULD DO TO CONTROL THE IMPACT OF FLOODS IS TO GROW LARGE DENSE TREES NEAR THE SHORE ..
