The document discusses different types of floods including coastal, riverine, and surface floods. It provides details on the causes of flooding in India such as heavy rainfall, cyclone, inadequate drainage, and deforestation. The impacts of floods include loss of lives and property, loss of livelihoods, decreased economic growth, and long-term psychological effects.
Floods are caused by excessive rainfall or coastal hazards that result in overflowing bodies of water onto dry land. They start when erosion along shorelines causes flooding and end when water levels recede. Flooding is the most common natural disaster worldwide. It affects the environment by damaging soils, trees, and crops and can spread chemicals from agricultural or sewage runoff. Flash floods occur quickly in mountainous or desert areas, while river floods develop more slowly over watersheds. Coastal floods are driven by tides, storms or tsunamis. Lakeshore floods impact shoreline communities. Floods cause numerous deaths annually in the US despite most occurring in just a few inches of fast moving water.
Do you think the occurrence of Flood is lethal? A flood is an overflow of water that submerges usually dry land. Floods can also occur in rivers when the flow rate exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders in the waterway. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are in the natural flood plains of rivers. Flooding is simply the result of a powerful weather system, but certain human activities can exacerbate the chances of flooding and make it worse when it occurs. Urban development, agriculture, and deforestation require careful management to keep such natural disasters from occurring. Causes of floods include hurricanes, broken levees or dams, rapidly thawing snow, and heavy slow-moving rain or repeated rains.

This document provides information about natural hazards and disasters. It discusses different types of natural events such as volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and landslides that shape the Earth. It defines natural hazards as events that have potential to damage life and property, and natural disasters as hazards that cause significant fatalities or property damage. Examples of different types of hazards are also given, including climatic, tectonic, geomorphological, and technological hazards caused by human activity. Specific historic disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami are discussed. Causes and impacts of flooding are explained in depth.
This document discusses hydrological extremes such as floods and droughts. It begins by defining different types of floods such as flash floods, river floods, and coastal floods. It then discusses the common causes of floods including heavy rainfall, capacity of soil infiltration, increased discharge in streams, and deforestation. The document also covers types of drought including meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socio-economic drought. It provides details on flood and drought management through various control measures such as storage reservoirs and channel improvement.
Floods occur when water exceeds the capacity of rivers, streams, lakes or coastal areas. They can be caused by heavy rainfall, snow/ice melt, storm surge or dam/levee failures. There are different types including slow-onset, rapid-onset and flash floods. Floods cause damage through loss of life, property damage and crop loss. Monitoring floods through historical data and forecasting helps provide warnings. Risk reduction measures include hazard mapping, land use planning, structural measures like dams/levees and non-structural measures like warning systems. Tsunamis are long waves generated by earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions that cause coastal flooding.
The document discusses different types of flooding including coastal (storm surge), river (fluvial), flash floods, and surface water floods. It provides details on the causes and impacts of each type. Coastal flooding is caused by storm surge which is when high winds and low pressure push water inland, increasing water levels and flooding. River flooding occurs when heavy rain or snowmelt causes water levels to rise over river banks. Flash floods are sudden, high velocity floods caused by intense rainfall. Surface water floods happen when drainage systems are overwhelmed by rain.

The document discusses floods, their causes, effects, and management. It notes that floods are among the most common and destructive natural hazards. The main causes of flooding include prolonged rainfall, snowmelt, volcanic eruptions, storms, dam failures, and development in floodplains. Floods can damage infrastructure and agriculture, spread disease, and cause loss of life. Management strategies aim to modify floods, susceptibility, or loss burden through structural measures like dams or non-structural measures like warning systems and zoning. India's major flood-prone states are Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam. The devastating 2008 Kosi flood in Bihar displaced millions and caused widespread damage costing over $500 million.
A natural disaster is a major adverse event caused by natural processes of the Earth, such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Floods occur when a body of water, such as a river or lake, overflows its usual boundaries onto land that is not normally submerged. The primary effects of flooding include loss of life, damage to buildings and infrastructure, and economic hardship from rebuilding costs and loss of tourism. Precautions during a flood include not walking or driving through floodwaters and avoiding contact with electrical equipment when wet. A drought is a prolonged period of below average precipitation that can last months or years and severely impact local ecosystems and agriculture. The effects of drought include restrictions on water supply
This document provides an introduction to flooding and disaster management. It defines floods as the overflowing of water onto normally dry land, usually due to excessive rain. Causes of floods include both physical/natural factors like heavy rainfall as well as human/anthropogenic factors like urbanization, deforestation, and failures of man-made structures. The document discusses key terms, hydrographs, impacts of floods, and strategies for flood management including both hard engineering approaches using structures and soft engineering working with natural processes.
This document discusses various types of natural disasters including land movement disasters like earthquakes and landslides, water disasters like floods and tsunamis, and weather disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. It provides details on the causes and impacts of specific disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, tsunamis, droughts, floods, hurricanes, lightning storms, tornadoes, and cyclones. The document also covers topics like disaster management, mitigation, prediction, preparedness, relief, rehabilitation, and education activities.
This document provides a classification and overview of different types of floods:
1) River floods caused by excessive rainfall that overwhelms river capacity.
2) Coastal floods from seawater inundation via direct flooding, barrier overtopping, or breaching.
3) Storm surges that raise water levels due to low pressure and strong winds associated with storms.
4) Areal floods from prolonged rainfall that gradually floods wide areas.
5) Urban floods specific to inadequate drainage in urban areas during high rainfall.
6) Flash floods where heavy rain rapidly fills riverbeds and flows downstream at high speeds.
Floods are a common natural disaster caused by heavy rainfall or snowmelt that leads to overflowing rivers, streams, lakes or oceans overtaking dry land. They can cause widespread damage, injury and loss of life. Some key points about floods are:
- They occur globally in every country and region near bodies of water or with heavy precipitation. Common types include river floods, flash floods, coastal floods, and urban floods.
- Factors like intensity and duration of rainfall, soil conditions, terrain, development in floodplains, and blocked drainage systems influence flood risks and impacts.
- Floods destroy property and infrastructure, damage crops and land, and disrupt lives. They are among the most costly
This document discusses floods, including:
- Definitions of different types of floods such as flash floods, river floods, and urban floods.
- Causes of floods including heavy rainfall, soil saturation, and breaches of dams or embankments.
- Impacts of floods on both the environment and human life/property.
- Objectives of the study which are to identify causes of floods, describe impacts, gather knowledge on forecasting and control, and identify benefits of floods.
- Benefits of some floods such as recharging groundwater and increasing soil fertility.
Natural disasters such as cyclones, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods, landslides, droughts, waterspouts and wildfires are some of the most damaging hazards that can occur. Cyclones have strong rotating winds and develop over warm ocean waters, while earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that can reach wind speeds over 300 mph. Volcanic eruptions violently eject lava, ash and gases from volcanic vents. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by underwater seismic events that can flood coastal areas.
This document discusses various topics related to water resources including fresh water, sources of fresh water, groundwater usage, floods, droughts, conflicts over water, and dams. It notes that fresh water supply is decreasing while demand is increasing. Surface water comes from rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and is replenished by precipitation, while groundwater resides underground in aquifers and provides over 20% of water usage. Floods occur when rivers exceed their capacity and can have devastating human and economic impacts. Drought is caused by reduced rainfall and affects agriculture, wildlife, and communities. Water conflicts have occurred and will continue between nations that share river systems. Dams have played an important role in water storage and irrigation worldwide.
1. The document discusses different types of floods including flash floods, rapid onset floods, and slow onset floods.
2. Methods of flood control are described such as retaining walls, detention basins, educating people, and using vegetation.
3. Causes of flooding include torrential rain, dam collapse, snow melt, tsunamis, and monsoon rain.
This document provides information about floods from a geography textbook. It defines floods as large amounts of water overflowing land that is usually dry. It describes three main types of floods - coastal floods caused by storms, river floods when rivers overflow their banks, and flash floods which happen suddenly. The document also lists and explains several common causes of floods like heavy rainfall, snowmelt, and storm surges. It discusses factors that make some cities more prone to flooding, such as their height above sea level and proximity to water bodies. Finally, the summary outlines some social, economic, and environmental impacts of floods in cities.

Floods can cause significant damage. The seminar discussed types of floods like flash floods and river floods. It also discussed causes like heavy rainfall, snowmelt, and dam failures. The effects of floods included property damage, loss of life, environmental contamination, and economic impacts. Control measures discussed permanent structures like flood walls and temporary options like embankments and flood gates. The case study on the 2018 Kerala floods in India described the heavy rainfall that caused widespread flooding and landslides. Over 400 people died and over 1 million people were displaced from their homes. Infrastructure and communities suffered extensive damage.
The document summarizes a 2010 flash flood that occurred in Leh, India due to a cloudburst. It discusses how cloudbursts can cause rapid flooding and the effects of flash floods. It then details the specific 2010 Leh flash flood, which resulted in over 255 deaths after heavy rains fell overnight. The aftermath section describes the widespread damage and efforts to provide relief and rescue those affected. Prevention methods like flood control infrastructure are also outlined.
Floods are a common natural disaster in India that occur when bodies of water overflow their normal boundaries due to heavy rainfall or snow/ice melt. There are several types of floods including flash floods caused by intense rainfall in mountainous areas, river floods along large rivers, coastal floods due to storm surges and tsunamis, and urban floods when rainfall cannot be absorbed in urban areas. Floods can damage property and infrastructure, spread disease, and disrupt communities but may also provide benefits by recharging groundwater or increasing soil fertility. Prevention methods include coastal defenses, town planning, retaining walls, dams, and increasing vegetation cover. States frequently affected by floods in India include West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh,
Exogenous hazards originate above the earth's surface and include atmospheric, hydrospheric, and lithospheric disasters. Atmospheric disasters occur in the atmosphere and include droughts, rainfall, snowfall, winds, and hailstorms. Hydrospheric disasters are related to water and include wave currents, tsunamis, and floods. Lithospheric hazards occur near the earth's surface and are made up of landslides, weathering, erosion, avalanches, and sinkholes.
Natural disasters are major adverse events caused by natural processes of the Earth and can include floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and other geologic events. They often result in loss of life, property damage and economic losses depending on a population's ability to recover. Some examples of specific natural disasters are tsunamis, caused by displacement of water; earthquakes, which release energy in the Earth's crust; and floods, which occur when water overflows land that is usually dry.
Flooding occurs when heavy rain or overflowing rivers deposit too much water for the ground to absorb. This causes water levels to rise and flood surrounding areas. In China, flooding affects many homes and trees and millions of people. Graphs show flooding events in China between 1991-2010 affected over 300 million people at times. Flooding is common in southern China due to hurricanes near the equator and rivers overflowing. Preventative measures like reservoirs, bunds, and weirs can help control flood waters.
Floods in Pakistan : The slides discuss the types, causes , effects and management of floods at both the preventive level as well as mitigation and response . The post floods benefits are listed
This document discusses floods, including their characteristics, causes, impacts, and mitigation measures. It defines a flood as an overflow of water onto dry land. Flooding can be triggered by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or dam/levee breaks. Impacts include property damage, loss of life, and environmental contamination. Mitigation approaches include both structural methods like levees and non-structural methods like floodplain zoning and education. Overall, the document provides a broad overview of floods and strategies for reducing their harmful effects.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

The Ipsos - AI - Monitor 2024 Report.pdfSocial Samosa
According to Ipsos AI Monitor's 2024 report, 65% Indians said that products and services using AI have profoundly changed their daily life in the past 3-5 years.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.
2. Definition
A rising and overflowing of a body of water especially onto
normally dry land is called flood.
Floods are one of the most common natural disasters, and they
can have a severe impact on communities and their surroundings.
3. Types of floods
There are several types of floods, including
flash floods,
river floods,
coastal floods,
urban floods, and more.
4. Flash flood
Flash floods are the most common and occur when there is a sudden
and intense amount of rainfall that causes water to rapidly accumulate.
5. River floods
• River floods, on the other hand, happen when a river overflows its
banks, usually after a prolonged period of rain.
6. Costal floods
• Coastal floods occur when water from the ocean or other bodies of
water moves inland, often due to storm surges.
•
7. Urban floods
• Urban floods can occur due to poor drainage systems and high levels
of precipitation.
8. Causes of floods
• There are several causes of floods, including natural factors such as
heavy rainfall, snowmelt, and storm surges.
• However, human activities can also contribute to floods.
Deforestation, poor land use practices, and the lack of construction of
dams and levees can all increase the likelihood of flooding
• . Additionally, climate change is contributing to the frequency and
severity of floods around the world.
