This document discusses drought in India and options for preventive disaster management. It notes that over 68% of India is vulnerable to drought, which is characterized as a period of drier-than-normal conditions leading to water problems. Drought can be meteorological, hydrological, agricultural, environmental or socio-economic in nature. Groundwater depletion is a major problem, with overexploitation in many states. The document advocates adopting a preventive approach to hazard mitigation rather than just relief, and exploring sustainable ecoremediation solutions found in nature like natural storage sites, groundwater recharge methods, and integrating traditional knowledge with new tools and practices.
Detail discussion on Drought with it's causes and effect and predictions. Which can be helpful to student to make their own presentation and reading Purpose.

S5c8 chapter 8-facts and figures related to drought in india.Shivu P
Some of the facts related to drought are mentioned in this chapter. Drought is a threat to the humanity; it is a threat to the plant and animal kingdom. We also know that the area occupied by the drought is increasing as the population is increasing on this earth and we need to understand deforestation and desertification is progressing in a very rapid speed. Now it is our duty to make all drought prone areas in to adequately irrigated land, make the people to involve in the process of re forestation and prevent desertification. Reticular canal system for interlinking rivers will help in the process of irrigating all the drought prone lands and helps in re forestation.

“Digital democracy” helen milner digital leaders annual lecture 24 february 2015Helen Milner
My speech at the Digital Leaders Annual Lecture in February 2015 about Digital Democracy. Slides have notes of the full speech. This is about people and democracy more than technology. I talk about social media, the Arab Spring, the crowdsourced constitution in Iceland, and the Net Party in Argentina. I talk about the findings of the UK House of Common's Speaker's Commission on Digital Democracy - as a Commissioner. Not radical but perhaps a very quiet and polite revolution.
Red Star Over China (Speaker: Vincent Lee Kwun-leung) [Part 2]VincentKwunLeungLee
The "Red Star Over China" is a publication of Edgar Snow in 1968, with Victor Gollancz Limited in London as the publisher.
"Red Star Over China" recorded how the proletariat ideal of Communist Party was prospered as the mainstreamed ruling ideology in 20th-century China - from Menshevism of Chen Duxiu to Bolshevism of Mao Zedong.
Vincent Lee Kwun-leung (李冠良), the speaker of this academic talk, received the education of Prof. Cindy Chu Yik-yi (朱益宜教授) during her "Sino-American Relations" course at HKBU History Department in early 2009. Prof. Cindy Chu requested Vincent Lee and other students to do a "History Book Review" on "Red Star Over China" to analyze how an American journalist observed Communism in China.
Prof. Cindy Chu Yik-yi obtained a Ph-D qualification in University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her BA and M-Phil qualifications were from the University of Hong Kong. Prof. Chu is an alumnus of Maryknoll Convent School, and her Catholic growing background enables her to devote to the research on Maryknoll Sisters' missionary and charitable services in Hong Kong. Now, Prof. Chu is the Associate Director of HKBU David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies.
Dr. Andrew Noble, Program Director of the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems, presented “Feeding 9 Billion People without Destroying the Planet: It is Possible,” on his trip to the US.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Drought in India
• 68% India vulnerable
• Covers penninsular and western India –
primarily arid, semi-arid and sub-humid
regions
• states: Karnataka (14), Gujrat (12), Maharashtra (11),
Rajasthan (12), Tamilnadu (8), MP (10), AP (8), Bihar
(6), UP (6), Haryana (4), Orissa (4), WB (3), J&K (2),
Jharkhand (1), Chhattisgarh (1)
3. Understanding drought?
Drought definitions?
-Evidence of drought usually seen in rainfall
records.
-Crop failures, joblessness and famines:
- Political noises for drought declaration
- Relief works
- Calamity fund releases
- Schemes and short term programmes
Drought is a period of drier-than-normal
conditions that lead to water related problems.
Question: Act of God Vs. Act of Man
---- Human Made Act of God
4. Types of drought
• Meteorological
• Hydrological
• Agricultural
Question again: Natural or ?? Man-made
- Environmental Drought ? Environment ..that naturally
rejuvenates, stores & provides
- Socio-economic ? that suffers scarcity: Quantity OR Quality ?
5. View point: outside a political manual
or drought declaration
DROUGHT SEQUENCE
Meteorological Hydrological
Environmental
Ecosystems Agriculture Habitation
Socio-economic Drought
6. Drought: short-supply of water ?
What actually governs supply for whole
year and for lean season?
1. Rainfall directly and only?
2. Ecosystems? (bio-geo systems)
3. Human habitat? (engineering)
4. Human habitat? (habits & culture)
1&2: Natural (Act of God) 3&4: Man-made
7. Groundwater depletion
• 50% total irrigation in country dependent on GW
• 60% of irrigation food prod. From GW
• GW table decline 1-2 mtrs/year in regions N Gujrat, S
Raj., Saurastra, TN (Madurai & Coimbature distt.), Karnataka (Kolar),
AP (Rayalseema), parts of Punjab & Haryana
• 10% blocks overexploited (CWC): beyond critical
level; risk growing at 5.5% yearly
• 61% hydro-geo blocks of Punjab categorised 10%
grey (zero)
• Man-made activity
• Nature offers remedy
8. Socio-economic drought
Short Supply in Lean Season
Less water Water unfit for use
Less rain Less storage Naturally Polluted
Climatic Surface Ground Human activity
Human - Ecosystems Natural
- Engineered
9. PREVENTIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT
A. Hazard – Vulnerability Disaster Relief
B. Hazard - Mitigation Disaster Relief
A: Business as Usual;
B; Preferred Approach
10. S&T and Community:
Sustainable Ecoremediation
Answer in nature:
- Natural storage sites and systems
- Human habits and culture
- GW recharge – the natural ways
- Cropping systems
- Catchments & River basins
- Programmes ??
- Integration and impact assessments
11. The success lies in applying best available tools
with wisdom for integrating them into systems in
harmony with nature and cultural settings,
with acceptability to innovations and rejuvenating
potential traditional knowledge putting into place.
It requires overhauling….of the system….before
that the approach…and first out mindset:
- In case of these so called ‘act of God’, what
governs the water (in God’s approach): there lies
the answer.
