In the Midst of Hardship, Qwertyuiop, Poetic DevicesAnita Mohan
The document discusses various poetic devices used in literature including figurative language, similes, metaphors, personification, stanzas, repetition, rhyme schemes, alliteration, assonance, and imagery. Figurative language uses figures of speech to convey meaning in an indirect way. Similes and metaphors create comparisons between two unlike things, with similes using connecting words like "like" and metaphors not using connectors. Personification gives human traits to non-living objects. A stanza is a group of lines that combine to form poetic paragraphs. Repetition of sounds, words, or lines can create images for the reader. Rhyme scheme refers to the pattern of rhymes. Alliteration repeats initial
Contemporary literature reflects current trends and changes often as perspectives change. It questions historical facts and presents contradictory arguments. Post-World War II, literature changed rapidly as the world viewed things differently and struggled with ideas of meaninglessness and a godless world. Contemporary literature features a modern narrative but also a harsher reality, influenced by postwar prosperity yet rooted in devastation. It includes cynical, disillusioned views and focuses on believable, character-driven stories in modern settings.

- English was introduced to the Philippines in the early 1900s through American teachers brought over by the U.S. Army. Early Filipino writers imitated English and American authors as the medium of instruction transitioned to English. From 1910-1935, Filipino writers went through a period of apprenticeship where they emulated foreign styles and genres. Publications like the UP Folio and Philippine Magazine helped develop a market for literature in English. The short story became a favored form among early Filipino authors.

Abstract:
Tropical Storm Ondoy (Ketsana) crossed Metro Manila and the adjacent river basins in a late wet-season episode of 2009, starting in the evening of September 25, 2009 and continuing into the next day of September 26, 2009. TS Ondoy brought very intense and heavy rainfall to the region: meaning that record amounts of rains fell over a very short time period of 12 hours to 24 hours, which are estimated to occur at an average annual frequency of 1 in 100 years or even higher, depending on the measuring location in the region. The rains generated record-magnitude flood flows and inundation in the Pasig-Marikina River Basin in Metro Manila, and the Laguna de Bay region. This article briefly explains the present situation in the flood management in Metro Manila, covers the
various government flood-mitigation projects, and after briefly describing the pattern and statistics of the rainfall and flood flows associated with the major storm and their resulting physical impacts, risks and damages to the metropolis, provides recommendations, both in terms of structural and non-structural mitigation measures, for everyone concerned.

Lake Lanao is an ancient lake located in Lanao del Sur, Philippines that is an important source of hydroelectric power and cultural significance. It is home to several endemic fish species and is central to the culture and livelihood of the Meranao people. However, the lake is facing threats from deforestation, agriculture, and fluctuating water levels from hydroelectric dams that are disrupting the lake's ecology. The lake provides over 60% of Mindanao's electricity but continued development risks damaging the lake and the Meranao people who depend on it.

On November 11, Typhoon Ulysses (international name: Typhoon Vamco) made landfall in the Philippines and caused widespread damage to eight provinces in the island group of Luzon. The most notable flooding events were in Marikina City in Metro Manila, adjacent Rizal province, and in Region 2 or Cagayan Valley in northeastern Luzon. This study analyzes the flooding events in these localities to identify key factors and how to mitigate risk. Four main determinants stand out: (1) the degradation of natural watersheds (2) the marginalization of the poor that render them vulnerable and exposed to disasters, (3) stop-gap solutions that do not address the roots of our disaster vulnerability, and (4) that the national government remains unprepared for disaster. Policy priorities among other reforms are recommended based on this assessment.
The document summarizes several extreme hydrologic events that occurred in the Philippines from 1990 to 2009, including floods, landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. It analyzes rainfall data and flood impacts for major events like the 2004 Central Luzon flood. It recommends developing an inundation model to better understand flooding in Central Luzon river basins and help with flood mitigation planning.
Oriental Mindoro has many advantages for power development including its strategic location near Metro Manila, large land area and natural resources. It aims to become the food basket and eco-tourism capital of the Philippines. The document outlines Mindoro's abundant resources and infrastructure, as well as its vision for agricultural, tourism and energy industries. It then presents two forecasts for future power demand in Oriental Mindoro, one projecting a modest 4-7% annual increase and the other a more aggressive 20% increase per year to support further development goals.
This document discusses the types of natural and human-induced hazards present in the Philippines. It identifies major natural hazards like typhoons, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. It also discusses human-induced hazards such as technological disasters, fires, and socio-political instability. It provides examples of specific disasters that have impacted the Philippines and outlines the country's vulnerabilities due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Thousands of years ago, rivers would flood plains and valleys, depositing rich soil that made some areas good for early civilization. The most important early civilizations developed along flood plains of rivers like the Indus, Nile, Yellow River, and Tigris and Euphrates. Even though floods occur everywhere, there are four main types: river floods, flash floods, coastal floods, and urban floods. China experienced one of the deadliest floods in history in 1887 when the Yellow River flooded, killing at least 900,000 people. In 1889, a dam break in Pennsylvania caused the Johnstown Flood and extensive damage.
The document discusses the Akosombo Dam located in Ghana. It describes the dam's construction from 1962-1972 to generate hydroelectric power. The dam flooded a large area to create Lake Volta and displaced many people. While the dam provided most of Ghana's electricity and boosted industrialization, it also had significant social, economic, and environmental impacts including loss of livelihoods, increased disease, and decreased agricultural productivity. The dam remains a source of both benefits and controversies in Ghana.

This study characterized the environmental effects of quarrying in the Amburayan River between the municipalities of Sudipen, La Union and Tagudin, Ilocos Sur. Sand and gravel quarrying was occurring at two sites along the river. Residents reported that quarrying had caused the river to shift its course. The physical effects of quarrying included weakened riverbanks, widened river flow, diverted water courses, and air pollution from quarry operations. The study recommended more regulation of quarrying and enforcement of environmental protections to mitigate its impacts.

The Akosombo Dam is located on the Volta River in Ghana. It was constructed between 1962-1972 to provide hydropower and was financed by Ghana, the World Bank, UK, and US (1). The dam created Lake Volta and supplies 85% of Ghana's electricity, boosting economic development (2). However, it displaced 80,000 people and decreased agricultural land, resulting in loss of livelihoods and increased poverty, diseases, and social issues for many communities (3). While the dam provided benefits, it also caused significant environmental, social, and economic challenges.
Bhutan is a small country located in the Himalayas with a population of around 700,000. It relies heavily on hydropower exports and tourism for its national revenues. The Punakha Valley lies in western Bhutan and has experienced damaging floods from glacial lake outbursts due to climate change that threaten its hydropower infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism industry. Bhutan has taken mitigation measures like identifying high risk glacial lakes, installing early warning systems, and training local communities to respond to floods.
The document discusses various lakes and rivers found across the Philippines. It provides details about 3 notable lakes - Taal Lake in Luzon, Danao Lake in Visayas, and Lake Venado in Mindanao.

The Vargas Tragedy of 1999 in Venezuela was caused by unusually heavy rains in December that triggered thousands of landslides and debris flows along mountainsides north of Caracas. These flows swept down into populated coastal areas, killing an estimated 10,000 to 50,000 people and leaving over 150,000 homeless. Infrastructure like roads, bridges, and ports were destroyed, crippling transportation and the economy. In the aftermath, authorities established new organizations to oversee reconstruction, installed sediment control dams and early warning systems, and rebuilt damaged infrastructure over the following decade, though thousands remained homeless and the full recovery was still ongoing years later.
Gully and flooding in anambra state the way forwardAlexander Decker
Gully erosion and flooding have become major environmental issues in Anambra State, Nigeria. Over 1,000 gully sites have been identified, with 600 that are actively eroding. Flooding is exacerbated by improper drainage planning and design, as well as waste blocking drainage channels. The paper assesses contributing factors like relief, slope instability, rainfall patterns, and human activities including urbanization, waste dumping, and deforestation. Solutions proposed include workshops to educate communities, planting vegetation, and constructing dams, ditches, and improved drainage systems. Adopting planning tools and increasing public awareness of environmental issues are also recommended to mitigate flooding and gully erosion in Anambra State.
Case Study No. 8-Managing Floods in Metro Manilaharoldtaylor1113
The document summarizes flooding issues in Metro Manila and flood management plans. It discusses causes of flooding such as inadequate drainage, heavy rainfall, and waste clogging waterways. The Metro Manila Flood Management Master Plan proposes modernizing pumping stations, constructing new ones, building dams to reduce river flows, and improving flood forecasting. It also describes three major flood control projects recently completed by the Department of Public Works and Highways to alleviate flooding in specific low-lying areas of Metro Manila.
Cyclone Amphan originated in the Bay of Bengal in May 2020 and caused widespread destruction in West Bengal, Odisha, and Bangladesh. It was the strongest super cyclonic storm since the 1999 Odisha cyclone, with wind speeds of up to 260 km/h. The governments of affected areas took several safety precautions, including evacuating coastal residents and suspending transportation. After making landfall, Cyclone Amphan destroyed homes and infrastructure, uprooted trees, and cut off power and communications for millions. International and local organizations provided relief in the form of food, supplies, and damage assessments. The disaster highlighted the need to make communities more resilient to frequent climate change-related extreme weather events.
This document provides an overview of the environment and geography of the Philippines. It discusses the country's tropical climate, active volcanoes, river systems, forests, and vulnerability to natural hazards like typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. It notes that while the Philippines was once heavily forested, illegal logging has reduced forest cover to less than 10% of the total land area. The document aims to educate readers about the present state of the Philippine environment.
