The brazil floods 2011 9090
Between January 11-12, 2011, torrential rains in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state caused devastating floods and mudslides that killed over 900 people and left over 17,000 homeless. The city of Teresopolis was hit hardest by the floods and mudslides, which were worsened by deforestation and a lack of drainage infrastructure. While rains are common during the Brazilian summer, experts noted that the scale of the disaster was exacerbated by a lack of preventative measures and urban planning in poorer mountainous regions prone to flooding.
Business Risk Assessment and the Management of Climate Change Impacts
This document analyzes climate change risks and impacts for 16 cities in the Philippines. It discusses the national climate outlook, including more extreme weather events like tropical cyclones and rainfall. It then assesses each city's climate exposure, socioeconomic sensitivity, adaptive capacity, and develops scenarios. The analysis uses a three vector approach involving exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity to integrate the information and determine each city's overall climate risk level.
WATER WARS "is water the new oil?"
This document discusses water governance and politics around the world. It focuses on basin-level water governance in Brazil, specifically the Rio das Velhas basin. The basin committee for the Rio das Velhas, CBH-Velhas, is considered active and successful in reconciling water use between various stakeholders. It also highlights some local water issues, including the proposed Apolo mine in Serra do Gandarela and a dam in Santo Hipolito that could displace communities and impact water quality.
California to impose fines up to $500 a day for wasting water
The State Water Resources Control Board in California voted to impose fines up to $500 per day for wasting water as the state experiences its worst drought since the 1970s. The fines will target outdoor water use like watering lawns excessively. While some areas like San Francisco have reduced water use by 5%, overall consumption in the state rose by 1% in May. The board hopes the fines will encourage the 20% reduction in water use sought by Governor Brown to help ease the drought, which is projected to cost the state's economy $2.2 billion.

Pakistan flooding ppp
Over 14 million people in Pakistan have been affected by the worst flooding in the country since 1929. The floods, caused by unusually heavy monsoon rains, have destroyed tens of thousands of homes and left over 6 million people homeless. There are concerns of disease outbreaks like cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis as millions lack access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities while living in refugee camps or on the streets. The international community has pledged relief aid, but more funding is still needed to help the millions of displaced flood victims in Pakistan.

Situation analysis of the 2010 floods in Pakistan presented by Naseer Ahmad G...Global Water Partnership
While Pakistan endures one of the country’s most devastating floods—possibly its worst ever—GWP Pakistan is joining with others to help provide relief and rehabilitation to remote communities that have been particularly hard-hit. In addition, the GWP Partner Hisaar Foundation and the Karachi Water Partnership, has launched an appeal to raise Rs 10 million for immediate flood relief, largely for the provision of safe drinking water.
Recognizing the scale of this disaster, GWP has invited the Pakistan delegation to the annual GWP Consulting Partners Meeting to present information on “Integrated Flood Management: analysis of the devastating floods, early recovery and rehabilitation plans” on September 3 in Stockholm, Sweden. The special session will be presented by the chair of GWP South Asia, Sardar Muhammad Tariq, the chair of GWP Pakistan, Naseer Ahmad Gillani, and the Ambassador of Pakistan to Sweden, Nadeem Riyaz. The floods have highlighted the need to place water resources management at the forefront of national development policy.
As part of its response to the floods, GWP Pakistan in collaboration with its Area Water Partnerships will assist in rehabilitation and resettlement, restoration of jobs, and sowing of new crops. The activities planned include:
1. Prepare an early recovery plan
2. Provide hygiene education to the volunteers
3. Identify and rescue flood affected poor people
4. Provide treatment to critical cases
5. Provide tents, water coolers, chlorinating tablets, sleeping rugs, etc.
6. Distribute printed material for prevention of health problems
7. Provide basic sanitation facilities on communal use basis
The Integrated Rural Development Organization of Islamabad, a GWP partner, will monitor and evaluate the activities.
The chair of the Hisaar Foundation, Simi Kamal (former member of the GWP Technical Committee), wrote that in addition to the Rs 10 million appeal, the Foundation is working on a concept of “total water solution” stretching from relief through rehabilitation to post-flood normalcy, and water needs in each of these phases.

- St. Lucia experienced a severe drought in 2015, with rainfall levels 33.5 mm below the previous year's levels for May. While annual rainfall has remained consistent, patterns have changed with more days without rain and heavier rainfall.
- The drought officially ended in July but rainfall is predicted to be below normal until October. Water rationing continued as the main water reservoir level remained low.
- Adapting to climate change includes improving water conservation and harvesting practices across sectors like tourism and agriculture which are heavily reliant on consistent water supply. Strengthening legislation and enforcement of water abstraction and management is also needed to prepare for more frequent weather extremes.
WATER CRISIS “Prediction of 3rd world war”
The document discusses the global water crisis and issues around water management. It notes that water scarcity is increasing due to rising populations and demands for water exceeding supply. The document also discusses historical water management practices, current issues like decreasing groundwater levels, and calls for sustainable water management through conservation efforts, innovative practices, and ensuring access to safe drinking water for all. Scientists warn that without addressing water shortages, wars may be fought over water in the future and ecosystems will suffer serious damage.

A flash flood in Beitbridge, Zimbabwe destroyed property and infrastructure in the Dulibadzimu Township after heavy rainfall in an area not typically prone to floods. Over 700 people were affected with thousands of dollars in losses. While relief was provided, residents felt the area should not have been developed for housing given the flood risk. This event highlights the need to consider disaster preparedness in urban areas, as hazards can occur anywhere. The author argues that better early warning systems and disaster risk education are needed to prevent future damage from weather events.
Phase III Presentation III
The water crisis in New York City has reached a critical point. Within the next few years, the city is projected to run out of its main freshwater sources, the Catskill/Delaware Watersheds and Croton Watershed, due to increasing global demand for water. An international council will meet to discuss plans to send astronauts to Mars to search for water there. Global water demand is expected to increase 50% by 2050 compared to current usage, while only 2.5% of the world's water is fresh. Many regions will face severe water scarcity by 2025. The post-Black Swan events and solutions for New York City's water crisis remain to be seen.
Watershed
The document discusses the Long Island Sound watershed, which encompasses parts of 6 states and 2 countries. It describes how water flows from higher to lower elevations, forming rivers and tributaries that carry runoff. The main river is the Connecticut River, which connects to tributaries and flows through populated and agricultural areas, picking up nutrients and pollutants before reaching the Long Island Sound estuary. The estuary receives freshwater from rivers and streams and saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean.

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.
IWRM Poster 2012 H. Shraideh
The document summarizes the current water situation in the West Bank of Palestine. It notes that Palestinians have lost access to major water sources like the Jordan River since 1967 and now rely on limited and unequally shared groundwater sources. On average, Palestinians consume less than half the recommended minimum water needs. Water allocation is mainly based on available resources but is also influenced by the political situation and Israeli occupation, which restrict Palestinian access and development. While socioeconomic factors affect distribution between communities, other overriding constraints like limited funding and infrastructure control the process more than economic or social criteria.
A Socioeconomic Baseline Assessment of the Pribilof Islands
The document summarizes a socioeconomic baseline assessment of the Pribilof Islands conducted by Ecotrust. Key findings include:
1) Fisheries have historically been important to the local economy but have recently declined, reducing their economic role. Subsistence harvests of marine mammals are also declining along with populations.
2) Residents are aware of environmental and economic changes occurring on the islands but perceptions vary between the two main islands of St. Paul and St. George.
3) While a simple stable socioeconomic baseline does not exist, the study gathered valuable local knowledge and established a baseline for comparison over time to identify trends.
Water consumption pattern
Water consumption patterns differ between rural and urban settlements. In rural areas, water is mainly used for farming activities like irrigation and vegetable gardening, which accounts for over 50% of outdoor water use. Water is also used for domestic purposes like laundry, showering, and hygiene. In urban areas, domestic use makes up a large portion of consumption, along with outdoor uses like gardening, vehicle cleaning, and commercial/institutional needs. Industrial activities also contribute significantly to urban water usage. Excessive fertilizer and pesticide use can pollute water sources in both rural and urban areas.
Third world war will be due to water
The document discusses how the third world war may be fought over water. As global warming accelerates glacier melting and pollution reduces usable surface water, while population growth increases water consumption sevenfold, water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource. Some areas are facing water stress as resources deplete. Unless habits and policies around water usage change, such as through conservation efforts and cooperative management of transboundary water sources, conflicts over dwindling freshwater supplies could escalate into open warfare between the "water haves and have nots," shaping global geopolitics in the 21st century as oil conflicts defined the 20th. The author calls for action now through water-saving practices to prevent an impending "water war."
Water: Patterns of Production and Consumption
Global freshwater consumption has risen sixfold since 1900, more than doubling the rate of population growth. Currently, about a third of the world's population lives in areas facing water stress, where consumption exceeds 10% of the total supply. If current trends continue, two-thirds of the global population will face water stress by 2025. The uneven distribution of water resources and increasing human population have exacerbated problems of freshwater availability and accessibility around the world. Many regions, particularly in Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia, already face water scarcity issues and this problem is projected to worsen in the coming decades without changes to water usage patterns. Freshwater resources in some areas have been severely impacted by human activities like

Hoboken, New Jersey experienced severe flooding from hurricanes Irene and Sandy, with over 60% of the city falling within the 100-year flood zone. In response, the city implemented a comprehensive green infrastructure strategy using parks, permeable pavement, bioswales and other projects to absorb and redirect stormwater, reducing flood risks. This included major projects like Southwest Park and upgrades to pump stations that improved flood protection for residents.
Haiti Earthquake 12 January 2010
This powerpoint was compiled on 14 January just two days after the devastating earthquake to hit Haiti. I have purposely avoided including precise data, aware that things will change as the days pass. The presentation could be used with any year group though it is probably more suited to older students such as those preparing for EDEXCEL's A2 research unit about tectonic activity and hazards. Having seen the presentation students could be asked to explain why the death rate is likely to be so high. There are many direct and indirect factors that could be included.

Why Were So Many People Killed In The In The Haiti Earthquake Of 2010
The high death toll from the 2010 Haiti earthquake was due to several factors:
1) Years of poverty, political instability, and lack of infrastructure left Haiti highly vulnerable when the earthquake struck near the densely populated capital of Port-au-Prince.
2) Substandard housing built in unsafe locations on steep slopes collapsed, burying many residents.
3) The capital was overwhelmed due to rapid urbanization, with over 3 million people living in crowded slums lacking basic services.
4) Damage to ports and airports from the earthquake hindered international relief efforts.

Haiti Earthquake 2010
Housing, location, poverty, and hurricanes all contributed to the massive loss of life in the 2010 Haiti earthquake:
1) Most of the 3 million people in Port-au-Prince lived in slums with poorly constructed housing built on steep slopes without foundations or building codes.
2) The earthquake struck near the capital at a shallow depth, causing widespread damage.
3) Two-thirds of Haitians lived on less than $1 per day, and many resided in extreme poverty without access to basic necessities.
4) Previous hurricanes had destroyed farms, caused food shortages, and increased urban migration, straining housing availability.
Political troubles and an unstable government
Massive earthquake strikes Chile
A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck central Chile, killing at least 214 people and causing widespread damage. Buildings and roads were destroyed, cutting off electricity, water, and phone lines. Tsunami waves from the quake swept ashore in other countries, though there was little damage. It was the largest earthquake to hit Chile in 50 years. Rescue efforts were hampered by collapsed bridges. Aftershocks brought additional damage, including collapsed buildings. Many residents were left homeless after losing their homes. Chile is vulnerable to large earthquakes due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire at the boundary of tectonic plates.
The brazil floods.ppt sarah geog project
Between January 11-12, 2011, torrential rains in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state caused devastating floods and mudslides that killed over 900 people and left over 17,000 homeless. The city of Teresopolis was hit hardest by the floods and mudslides, which were worsened by deforestation and a lack of drainage infrastructure. While rains are common during the Brazilian summer, experts noted that the scale of the disaster was exacerbated by a lack of preventative measures and urban planning in poorer mountainous regions prone to flooding.
Earthquake Problems
The 2010 Haiti earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti at 4:53 pm local time. It measured 7.0 on the Richter scale and caused widespread destruction, killing over 300,000 people. The earthquake destroyed much of the capital city's infrastructure, including government buildings, leaving few resources for rescue efforts. Many residents were left homeless with no way to access help as conditions deteriorated in the aftermath.
L7 favella bairro squatter redevelopment
The document discusses housing and redevelopment efforts in Rio de Janeiro's favelas or squatter settlements. It provides details on:
- Over 1 million people living in over 600 favelas, including Rochina, with houses made of scrap materials lacking basic services.
- Rochina's redevelopment into safer housing with brick construction and access to water, sewage, and electricity for 90% of residents.
- Rio's Rochina Favela Self-Help Scheme aimed to improve buildings, relocate residents from high-risk areas, and later generate employment and education to integrate residents into society.
- Barra da Tijuca, a new suburb developed with services and infrastructure to accommodate
Rocinha Conor
Rocinha is the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro, located between São Conrado and Gávea. While the name originated in the 1920s referring to a local market for fresh produce, Rocinha has grown significantly and is now home to between 100,000-200,000 residents living in small, dense housing often stacked 7-11 stories high. Despite challenges of poverty and high population density, Rocinha has infrastructure like electricity, TV, and basic sanitation. Homicide rates dropped after 2005 but rose again for the 2014 World Cup. The World Cup brought tourism that benefited the local economy and residents had a chance to see famous footballers.
Haiti Casestudy
The 2010 earthquake in Haiti caused widespread damage and loss of life. It occurred on January 12th near the capital city of Port-au-Prince, registering a magnitude of 7.0. Over 300,000 people were killed by collapsed buildings and infrastructure due to a lack of earthquake-resistant construction and safety standards. The government's buildings were destroyed, hampering coordination of emergency response. Difficulties delivering aid through rubble-clogged streets exacerbated the death toll and long-term impacts, including over 1 million remaining displaced a year later.
Haiti earthquake
The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake with its epicenter just west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. It caused widespread destruction and loss of life, with the Haitian government estimating 230,000 people were killed and over 1 million were left homeless. The earthquake exposed Haiti's vulnerabilities as a poor country, destroying much of its infrastructure, hospitals, housing, and government buildings. International aid efforts struggled to provide relief due to the massive scale of the damage and Haiti's lack of resources.
Haiti earthquake yr7
The 2010 Haiti earthquake that killed over 200,000 people was caused by movement along the boundary between the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates. Haiti sits along a conservative plate boundary where the plates move about 20 mm per year, building pressure until an earthquake occurs. A 7 magnitude earthquake struck just 15 km from the capital Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010. The shallow depth of 13 km exacerbated the damage. Over 1.5 million people were left homeless as much of Port-au-Prince was destroyed, including important buildings and infrastructure. The poor conditions in Haiti made providing relief extremely difficult in the aftermath.
Brasil - inundações e deslizamentos 2011
Heavy rains caused deadly flooding and landslides in mountainous areas near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Over 500 people were killed in the towns of Teresopolis, Nova Friburgo, Petropolis, and Sumidouro. Rescuers struggled to reach isolated areas and the death toll continued rising as they accessed remote locations. The floods and landslides destroyed neighborhoods and left thousands homeless.
Haiti 2010 Why Did
The document discusses factors that contributed to the large number of deaths in the 2010 Haiti earthquake:
1) Housing - Most houses in Port-au-Prince were poorly constructed, often on steep hillsides, with no foundations, making them vulnerable to collapse. Over 3 million people lived in the capital, most in slum conditions.
2) Location - The earthquake was only 15km from Port-au-Prince and 6 miles deep, located near a plate boundary that had not seen major quakes in 200 years, catching the population off guard.
3) Poverty - Two-thirds of Haitians lived on less than $1 per day, leaving many unable to construct earthquake-resistant housing
Rio de janeiro is a large city of 11
Rio de Janeiro is a large city located in southeastern Brazil with a population of over 11 million people. It was formerly the capital of Brazil but lost this status in 1960 when the capital moved to the newly built planned city of Brasília. Rio de Janeiro has experienced rapid population growth through both natural increase and rural-to-urban migration, leading to severe housing shortages. Over one million residents live in favelas, which are informal shanty settlements located on the edges of the city and characterized by poor living conditions. The city government has implemented some programs aimed at upgrading favelas and improving infrastructure and services.
A Massive Earthquake in Chile
A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck Chile, resulting in widespread damage across several Pacific countries. The earthquake destroyed buildings, bridges and roads in Chile, cutting electricity, water and phone lines. It also generated a tsunami, with waves higher than usual hitting Hawaii, New Zealand, French Polynesia, Tahiti and Chile. At least 214 people were killed in Chile, where several buildings collapsed including a parking garage that smashed dozens of cars.

Romsdalen Valley Norway, River Dart England, Mississippi Delta USA
The document summarizes information about the Romsdalen Valley in Norway. It is a 60-kilometer long V-shaped valley that runs through two counties. The Rauma River flows through the bottom of the valley and eventually empties into Romsdalsfjorden. Large debris and material regularly flow down the river, making it ideal for white water rafting. This is caused by rocks falling from the steep valley sides due to weathering and freeze-thaw cycles that cause cracking and crumbling of the cliff faces.

Rio de Janeiro Landslide 2010
- 2. INTRODUCTION On the 7th April 2010, a huge wall of mud and rock raced into the a favela in the Brazilian city of Niteroi, directly East of Rio De Janiero. The area of hillside that collapsed slid around 700m, destroying over 50 homes and killing nearly all of those inside. The tangle of broken buildings and the slippery, wet mud made rescue attempts by firemen extremely difficult.
- 3. CAUSES The favela had been built very dangerously on a slope with a steep angle. In addition, they had little or no foundations, they were simply built on a mound of debris that had piled up over several years. Some officials have tried to move residents from dangerous areas, but there is a lack of alternative settling sites so many do not move. A big cause of the landslide was rainfall. Much of Brazil was hit by the worst tropical rainfall in 50 years. In many areas of Rio over 40mm of rain fell in the month leading up to the disaster.
- 4. EFFECTS Around 150 people lost their lives in the landslide. Around 200 people were still missing on April 13th. More, smaller landslides also occurred and it was estimated that a further 10,000 homes are at direct risk from mudslides. The statue of Christ the Redeemer was cut off from traffic for the first time in history. The combined cost of the floods and mudslides of April 2010 came to US$13.3bn, roughly 8% GDP of Rio de Janeiro State
- 5. MANAGEMENT The mayor, Eduadro Paes, has put into action a plan that will see 1500 families evicted from at least two slums which have been identified as high risk landslide areas. The country is also evaluating other areas where these people can settle. Many have been encouraged to move previously, but a lack of alternative housing has made this impossible. The long term plan is to ensure people build their homes on safer ground with stronger materials. However, most of the safe, flat land has been taken and developed by richer residents of Rio.
