Disaster Management has to be a multi-disciplinary and pro-active approach. Besides various measures for putting in place institutional and policy framework, disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness enunciated in this paper and initiatives being taken by the Central and State Governments, the community, civil society organisations and media also have a key role to play in achieving our goal of moving together, towards a safer India.The message beingput across is that, in order to move towards safer and sustainable national development, development projects should be sensitive towards disaster mitigation.4Our vision 2020 is to build a safer and secure India through sustained collective effort, synergy of national capacities and people’s participation. What looks a dream today will be transformed into reality in the next two decades. This is our goal and we shall strive to achieve this goal with a missionary zeal. The path ahead, which looks difficult today, will become a lot easier as we move along together.

Social and Economic Impacts of Hurricanes
To briefly describe the various impacts of a hurricane and to give the social and economic consequences of each. The degree by which any of these can affect the human and physical environment can vary. From little to no damage, to the extremes.
Flood in odisha
Floods regularly ravage the state of Odisha in India due to heavy rainfall and the overflow of the Mahanadi River. The document discusses several major floods since 2013 that have caused deaths, with the most recent in 2020 killing 3 people. It also outlines challenges faced during floods like food and water shortages as well as infrastructure damage. The role of the Hirakud Dam in exacerbating floods is described. The government works to deploy rescue and relief efforts including food delivery via airforce helicopters.
Kashmir floods 2014
1. Heavy rainfall in Kashmir led to severe flooding in 2014 due to failures in flood monitoring and warnings by agencies. Dredging of rivers made flooding worse by increasing sediment loads.
2. The lack of dams exacerbated flooding, though dams are limited by agreements. Strategically placed dams could help control flooding but political issues have prevented their construction.
3. Increasing development in flood plains and loss of wetlands have reduced flood absorption capacity and made flooding more severe.
Flood ppt
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.
Kerala Floods
Floods in Kerala in 2018 were caused by heavy monsoon rainfall that submerged land and displaced thousands of people. Over 483 people died when dams were opened and landslides occurred, flooding villages and destroying homes and infrastructure. The floods impacted over 1.2 million people who sought shelter in relief camps with disrupted basic services like water, electricity and transportations. The government and aid organizations worked to provide relief and recover from the damaging floods.
Impact of drought on economy of a country
The document discusses drought in several contexts:
1) It defines drought and describes three main types: meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural.
2) It outlines the consequences of drought including environmental, economic, and social impacts such as famine, habitat damage, and conflict over resources.
3) Several examples of historical droughts are provided, including those that affected ancient Egypt, the Maya civilization, the 1930s Dust Bowl in the US, and droughts in China and the Northern Great Plains in the 1980s-90s.
C:\Fakepath\Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas in August 2005 and hit southern Louisiana and New Orleans as a category 3 hurricane, causing massive damage. It was the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, with over $100 billion spent on relief and reconstruction. The hurricane had devastating economic, environmental, health, and social impacts on the areas hit. It left over 1,800 dead and hundreds of thousands homeless and unemployed. The government response was criticized for being too slow, and reforms were proposed to improve emergency preparedness and response to major storms.

Floods
Floods occur when heavy rain or storms cause rivers and streams to overflow their banks, submerging normally dry land under water. Common causes include excessive rain, dam or levee ruptures, rapid snow melt, or blocked river flows. Floods typically result in widespread property damage and loss of life. Major floods in India include the devastating 2005 floods in Maharashtra that killed over 5,000 people, the 2006 floods in North Bihar that damaged over 75,000 hectares of farmland, and the widespread South Asian floods of 2007 that displaced over 13 million Indians. Flood control methods center around altering river channels, building levees, and improving drainage infrastructure.
Flood in Pakistan 2010
The 2010 floods in Pakistan affected over 12 million people. Heavy monsoon rains caused rivers to overflow, destroying homes, crops, and infrastructure. Over 1,600 people died and millions were left homeless. The floods caused billions of dollars in economic losses and damaged 60% of Pakistan's agricultural lands. International relief efforts aimed to provide food, shelter, and clean water to those displaced. Future flood management strategies proposed modifications to river channels, reforestation, dam construction, and flood warning systems.
flood - a destructive calamity
- A natural disaster occurred in the Indian state of Uttarakhand in June 2013 caused by heavy rainfall and flooding that resulted in widespread damage.
- The floods were particularly devastating, estimated to have caused over 10,000 deaths, and were described as the worst natural disaster to ever strike the state.
- The flooding occurred due to both natural causes like heavy rainfall but also human factors like unchecked development and tourism that disrupted the environment.
Nature fury
The document summarizes a presentation on natural disasters titled "Nature's Fury". It discusses different types of natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods and cloud bursting. It specifically focuses on the 2013 Uttarakhand floods caused by heavy rainfall and glacier melting. Over 8,000 people died in the floods, 10,000 were injured and 30,000 were stranded in the valleys. The floods damaged over 1,500 roads, 154 bridges and destroyed more than 2,200 houses. While natural factors contributed, the document also attributes man-made causes like tourism, deforestation, and lack of disaster management to the floods. It calls for better land use policies and use of technology to
Unit ii drought
Drought is an extended period of below average precipitation that can cause water shortages and impact ecosystems, agriculture, and local economies. It is defined as rainfall 20% or more below normal levels for a region. Drought leads to economic impacts like agricultural losses, higher costs for irrigation and fuel, and reduced business from industries tied to farming. It also causes environmental impacts such as loss of wildlife habitat and food sources, increased wildfires, and erosion. Socially, drought can negatively impact public health and safety, as well as cause conflicts over limited water resources. Major droughts in India have historically led to severe famines that caused millions of deaths from starvation and hunger.
Flood hazards in india
Floods are the most common natural disaster in India, caused by heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon season that overwhelms rivers like the Ganges and Yamuna. Two major flood events highlighted are the 2013 Uttarakhand floods, where unprecedented rainfall triggered landslides and glacial lake outbursts that killed over 6,000 people, and the 2015 Chennai floods resulting from heavy northeast monsoon rains exacerbated by climate change effects like El Niño, which killed over 400 people and displaced over 1.8 million. Flood mitigation requires measures like protecting the environment from deforestation, restricting construction, modernizing early warning systems, and educating the public on safety precautions.

Tropical storms
Tropical storms and hurricanes form over warm tropical oceans and move away from the equator, gaining strength from warm air and moisture. Hurricane Katrina began as a tropical storm off Florida before strengthening into a category 3 hurricane, breaching levees in New Orleans and flooding 80% of the city under 3 meters of water. The hurricane caused 1836 deaths, left over 3 million people without power, and resulted in water contamination, food shortages, damaged infrastructure, and crime issues in New Orleans. Hurricanes in Myanmar in 2008 destroyed homes and crops, with emergency aid and grants provided to help repair damage and support livelihoods.

An Analysis of Hurricane Katrina Logistical Disaster Response
The document provides an overview of the supply chain challenges faced during the response to Hurricane Katrina. It describes the political failures in New Orleans that contributed to the scale of the disaster. It then outlines the roles of various responders, including the US military/National Guard who took over logistics from FEMA. While they distributed vast amounts of aid, issues with incompatible communications equipment between organizations hampered coordination. FEMA failed to adequately prepare for the disaster despite warnings, and struggled to fulfill Red Cross supply requests. The Red Cross itself provided unprecedented shelter and aid but with poor initial planning.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina formed in the Gulf of Mexico in late August 2005 and made landfall as a Category 3 storm, causing catastrophic damage along the Gulf Coast. Over 1,800 people lost their lives and entire cities like New Orleans flooded due to levee failures. The storm displaced over 1 million people in the largest diaspora in American history. The recovery efforts cost over $100 billion and the impacts of Hurricane Katrina are still affecting the region today.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina caused widespread damage and flooding in New Orleans in August 2005. It breached levees protecting the city, leaving 80% underwater. The storm and subsequent flooding killed over 1,700 people and displaced hundreds of thousands of residents. Repairing the broken levees and pumping out the floodwaters took many months. The humanitarian and economic impacts of the disaster were immense and long-lasting.
Hurricane Katrina
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana and Mississippi as a category 3 storm, causing widespread damage. It was one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history, resulting in over 1,800 deaths and $81 billion in damages. Hurricane Katrina severely impacted New Orleans, flooding 80% of the city as the levees failed. The storm had long-lasting social, economic, political, and environmental impacts across the Gulf region.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005. Local and national news coverage was initially ineffective due to a lack of on-the-ground reporting and a failure to communicate the severity of the situation. However, some local media like NOLA.com and Times-Picayune provided constant updates that helped guide relief efforts. In the aftermath, coverage increasingly focused on rebuilding efforts, though attention faded within a few years.

The document discusses the social and economic impacts of floods on communities. Some key social impacts include injuries, the spread of diseases, loss of lives, and homelessness as floodwaters can damage buildings. Economic impacts consist of damage to machinery, equipment, and transport infrastructure which can halt economic activity and disrupt energy supply. The case study of floods in Thailand in 2011 caused major social issues like lack of communications due to no power for signals or charging devices, and economic losses across industries, utilities, vehicles, and households.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina caused over $90 billion in damage and killed more than 1,800 people when it hit the southern United States and Louisiana as a category 5 storm in August 2005. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters in American history, devastating much of the region around Louisiana and becoming the costliest hurricane on record at the time. The hurricane formed in the Bahamas in late August 2005 and made landfall on the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts as a strong category 3 storm, but caused catastrophic damage due to severe flooding after levee failures in New Orleans.

The document discusses several issues caused by climate change, including droughts and desert expansion, flooding, rising sea levels, changing ocean salinity levels, and rising sea temperatures. It notes that droughts will intensify and new areas will experience drought, deserts will expand as areas dry out, and flooding will increase due to climate shifts and more rainfall. Rising seas will submerge coastal lands and infrastructure and force population migration. Changing ocean salinity from melting glaciers will disrupt marine ecosystems and fishing economies. Rising sea temperatures will alter ocean currents and climate patterns on land and sea.
PPT on drought in india
Drought is an extended period of deficient water supply caused by significantly below average precipitation. It can impact ecosystems, agriculture, and local economies. Some plant species have adaptations like reduced leaves or waxy coatings to tolerate drought. Past droughts in India have led to major famines and tens of millions of deaths in the 18th-20th centuries. Indian agriculture depends heavily on the summer monsoon, and monsoon failures can result in water shortages and below average crop yields in drought-prone regions.

Natural disasters
Natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes can cause significant financial, environmental and human losses. The 2011 floods in Sindh Pakistan killed 434 people and affected over 5.3 million homes after heavy monsoon rains. The floods followed devastating 2010 floods and caused extensive damage to Sindh's agriculture. To prevent future flood damage, countries must implement measures like building dams, strengthening river banks, draining stagnant waters, and creating disaster relief organizations.
Flood disaster in pakistan and its impact on agriculture growth a review
The document summarizes the impacts of flooding in Pakistan from 2010 to 2014 on agricultural growth. Major floods occurred each year during this period, affecting large areas of crops and damaging infrastructure. The worst impacts were seen in 2010 and 2014, which saw over 1 million acres of crops damaged each year. In total from 2010 to 2014, floods killed over 5,000 people and caused $19 billion in economic losses. The floods disproportionately impacted agricultural regions and farmers, undermining agricultural production and Pakistan's economy.

Considerable rainfall raises the water level. When
the water level is higher than the conduit bank, the water
diverts out from the stream, there will surge. Surges are
caused by atmosphere ponders and events that pass on more
precipitation to a waste bowl that can be immediately
absorbed or secured inside the bowl. Surges can be caused by
typical, natural or anthropogenic factors. There are a couple
of purposes behind surges and change from region to area.
Flood is coming to fruition in view of unprecedented
geophysical event to make an astounding danger to human
life and property. Surge occurring in thickly populated locale
can do most extraordinary mischief to life and property.
Country practices and deforestation have altogether changed
the condition in whole stream bowls. Passing, disease, harm,
expulsion of people and fiscal hardship are the standard
consequences of surge. So the purpose of this examination
work is to research the effect of flooding on children, water
sanitation and cleanliness.

Disaster
A disaster is defined as a sudden event that exceeds a community's ability to cope using its own resources. Disasters can be natural or human-caused. Natural disasters include hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones that kill thousands and cause billions in damage annually. Human-caused or manmade disasters result from technological hazards, wars, and deliberate attacks. Developing countries are often more vulnerable to natural disasters due to factors like population growth, deforestation, and lack of disaster prevention planning. Effective disaster management includes preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery efforts to minimize risks and impacts and return communities to normalcy.
EXOGENOUS HAZARDS docx
Floods are a major exogenous hazard in India that cause significant damage and loss of life annually. India has over 40 million hectares of land that is prone to flooding each year, and floods have increased in frequency and severity in recent decades due to factors like population growth, urbanization, and climate change. Flash floods can occur rapidly within six hours of heavy rainfall. Major rivers that experience recurrent flooding include the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and other peninsular rivers. Flood forecasting and warning has improved but flash floods remain difficult to predict. Urban flooding has increased risks due to faster floodwater flow times and dense populations. Mapping of flood prone areas and reducing encroachment in floodplains are key
Elective presentation
The document discusses disaster management and defines a disaster as a serious problem that causes widespread loss exceeding normal human and community coping abilities. It notes disaster nursing aims to meet physical and emotional needs from disasters. Several types of natural disasters are described like floods, earthquakes, droughts and cyclones. India experiences many such disasters and faces threats of cyclones, floods and earthquakes affecting millions. The document outlines India's major disasters over history and discusses key government initiatives like the Disaster Management Act of 2005 aimed at prevention, mitigation, preparedness and relief.
DM presentation for Planning Institute 11 TH Sep 19 (1).ppt
India is highly vulnerable to various natural and man-made disasters due to its diverse geographic, climatic and socio-economic conditions. The country experiences 27 different types of disasters that affect its states and union territories. Over 12% of India's land area is flood-prone while 68% of cultivated land is drought-prone. India also experiences cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. Within India, Uttar Pradesh is particularly vulnerable to recurring floods and droughts that severely impact lives, property, and livelihoods across the state. Key affected districts in Uttar Pradesh include those in eastern, western, and central parts of the state.

- Drought is the most costly natural disaster and can lead to widespread impacts like food and water crises. Semi-arid areas are more prone to drought.
- Major droughts occur every 12-16 years in Pakistan, with lesser droughts every 4-6 years. Drought can cause secondary hazards like dust storms, disease, and wildfires.
- The 1999-2001 drought affected the entire country, causing $1.2 billion in losses and negatively impacting economic growth. Tharparkar district was among the worst affected areas.
- Pakistan needs to implement both structural measures like dams and non-structural measures like policies and

Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating both natural and human-made disasters. It includes preparedness activities before a disaster strikes, rebuilding and supporting society after natural disasters occur, and dealing with their impacts. Major goals are minimizing harm and damage through preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts. Common natural disasters in India include floods, droughts, earthquakes, cyclones, and tsunamis. Major human-made disasters discussed are the Bhopal gas tragedy, Chernobyl disaster, and 2013 Uttarakhand floods. Modern technology can help forecast and mitigate disaster impacts if people make informed preparedness a priority.
Post flood impact on Pakistan economy
The floods in Pakistan in 2010 caused widespread damage that severely impacted the country's economy. Agriculture, which accounts for 20% of GDP, was hit hardest with over 1.9 million acres of crops damaged. This economic blow, combined with infrastructure destruction and rising inflation, threatened to reduce Pakistan's GDP growth rate from a projected 4.5% to around 3.5%. The floods also exacerbated Pakistan's fiscal issues by increasing government spending needs while reducing tax revenue, potentially widening the budget deficit to 6-7% of GDP.
DRR Report
This report assesses the impact of a disaster risk reduction project in Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan. The project aimed to build community resilience through training. It found that before the project, communities lacked disaster preparedness and had suffered major losses in 2010-2011 floods. The project formed community organizations and provided trainings on evacuation, first aid, flood-resistant construction. These efforts increased communities' capacity to respond to disasters. Site visits found communities were now mobilized and ready to handle future emergencies. The report concludes the project successfully built disaster resilience.
Waste management, urban resilience and climate change
Waste management and climate change are serious issues facing Bangladesh, particularly the capital city of Dhaka. Dhaka generates thousands of tons of waste daily from residential, commercial, industrial, and medical sources, but waste was improperly disposed of in the past, polluting water sources and spreading disease. In response, the Dhaka City Corporation has implemented waste collection and transportation programs and developed landfills. However, climate change impacts like sea level rise, cyclones, and flooding have increased migration to Dhaka, exacerbating overpopulation and lack of infrastructure in slum areas. Climate change is projected to severely impact Bangladesh through food insecurity and yield reductions due to water stress from rising temperatures and more extreme weather.

Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating both natural and human-made disasters. It includes preparedness activities before a disaster strikes, rebuilding and supporting society after natural disasters occur, and dealing with their effects. Major goals are minimizing the impacts of disasters and supporting recovery efforts. Common disasters in India include floods, droughts, earthquakes, cyclones, and industrial or infrastructure accidents. Government agencies are responsible for coordinating responses to different disaster types. Climate change is increasing vulnerability to some disasters through more extreme weather and effects on agriculture, health, and development. Indigenous knowledge, appropriate technology, and local resources can help communities adapt.

Bangladesh , the largest delta on earth, is situated
in South Asia. It is located between 20°
34′ and
26°
38′ north latitude and 88°
01′ and 92°
41′ east
longitude. It is bordered by India on the west,
north, and east, by Myanmar on the southeast, and
by the Bay of Bengal on the south. The area of the
country is 147,570 km2
. Most of the country is
low-lying comprising mainly the delta of the
Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. A total of 80% of
the country is floodplain . The environment of the
country is under severe pressure due to changing
climate and destructive anthropogenic activities.
Environmental degradation is directly and
indirectly affecting human health, ecosystems
, and economic growth of the country. Demographic pressure, poverty,lack of proper
awareness on environmental issues, and lack of implementation and monitoring of
environmental rules are the main causes for existing environmental condition of
Bangladesh. The climatic condition of Bangladesh is tropical monsoon. The country
currently faces several environmental issues which threaten these resources, including
groundwater metal contamination, increased groundwater salinity, cyclones and flooding, and
sedimentation and changing patterns of stream flow due to watershed mismanagement. Some
of these, such as the changing patterns of stream flow and presence of lead in groundwater,
can be directly correlated with human activity and industrial processes, while others, such as
cyclones and flooding are naturally occurring issues.Lecture 1 flood
This document provides an overview of flooding in Bangladesh. It discusses the major river systems in Bangladesh and defines different types of floods. It then summarizes the causes of flooding in Bangladesh, which include its low topography, high monsoon flows, siltation of rivers, and effects of tides. Impacts of flooding are extensive and include loss of lives, crops, infrastructure, and economic losses. Several major floods are described, including the devastating 1988 flood that affected over 60% of the country. In summary, Bangladesh's geographic features and location make it highly vulnerable to flooding.
Environmental Management
Natural disasters are major changes in the Earth that can damage land and threaten lives. They include earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, wildfires, and cyclones. An earthquake is caused by shifting tectonic plates, which can split the ground apart. Floods occur when heavy rain or snowmelt causes rivers to overflow their banks. Tsunamis are large waves caused by undersea earthquakes or landslides. Cyclones are powerful rotating storms with strong winds. Case studies describe specific natural disasters including the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that killed over 200,000 people across several countries.

This document discusses urban flooding in Hyderabad, India. It provides background on urbanization trends in India and Hyderabad specifically. Hyderabad has experienced significant flooding events in 1908, 2000, and 2008 due to heavy rainfall that overwhelmed the drainage system. Factors contributing to flooding include urbanization and the pressure it puts on land, which has led to increased impervious surfaces and encroachment on drainage channels. The rapid urbanization of Hyderabad has outstripped the capacity of infrastructure like storm drains to handle increased runoff.
Floods in Pakistan
Floods can have both advantages and disadvantages. While floods can replenish topsoil and spread plant seeds, they can also be destructive by damaging infrastructure, drowning people and animals, and stranding people. The 2010 floods in Pakistan were some of the worst in the country's history, affecting over 16 million people across four provinces. Causes included heavy monsoon rains, snowmelt, improper drainage systems, and inadequate dam capacity. The floods caused over $10 billion in damages by destroying crops, roads, power infrastructure, and irrigation systems. An integrated flood management plan is needed that combines approaches like constructing dams and reservoirs, improving forecasting systems, regulating development in flood-prone areas, and educating communities.
Uttrakhand disaster
The document discusses the 2013 Uttarakhand floods in India. It provides an overview of Uttarakhand and describes the heavy rainfall and flooding that occurred in June 2013, which led to widespread destruction and over 5,000 deaths. It also discusses the economic and infrastructure damage caused, rescue efforts, and potential causes of the disaster like glacial melting, deforestation, and hydroelectric construction.
Causes and effect of kashmir flood
September 2014 unprecedented floods in Jammu & Kashmir tell the tale of human misery not witnessed by this state
in over 100 years. The devastation caused by the flood is colossal. It claimed over three hundred human lives and destroyed
everything that came to its way-residential houses, schools, colleges, hospitals, paddy fields, orchards, government
establishments and businesses et-cetera. It has rendered thousands of people homeless and jobless. Today in this paper we are
going to analyse the causes of the flood and its impact on Kashmir, economically as well as socially.
LEDC flooding case study Bangladesh 1998
Between July-September 1998, Bangladesh suffered severe flooding from heavy monsoon rains that resulted in over 1,000 deaths and 30 million people being displaced from their homes. Bangladesh is prone to flooding due to its low-lying geography and location at the convergence of two major river systems draining a large area. Human activities such as deforestation have exacerbated the natural flooding by increasing silt and water flow. The 1998 floods had widespread impacts through destruction of crops, housing, and infrastructure. Relief efforts focused on emergency food, medical aid, and temporary shelters while long term solutions such as dams and levees have been proposed but not implemented due to lack of funds.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
