a LEDC meaning it’s a less economical developed country. The rivers leading from the Himalayas flow into the sea‚ when they suffer with heavy rain the excess water starts to over flow and flood and waterlog land and surroundings. The physical causes are‚ the monsoon climate brings very heavy rain and snow‚ and soils are leached and heavy runoff results in soil erosion‚ snow melting results in soil erosion and a rapid increase in river discharge. Moreover some more reasons are because deforestation

In Egypt the Nile River is one their biggest source of water. The Aswan High Dam is in Egypt and sits on the Nile River. The Dam has helped control the Nile‚ which would flood every year in late summer. The construction of the Aswan High Dam started in 1960. As the Dam was built it created Lake Nasser. This Lake has

The flooding was caused due to many reasons. The main reason was the above average & long period of heavy rain which caused all 3 rivers to have their peak flow at the same time. Other reasons for flooding is because most of the country consists of huge delta and floodplain‚ 70% of the total area is less than 1 meter above the sea level and 10% is made up of Rivers and lakes. These are only some of the Physical activities that caused flooding. These are some of human activities that made the

In his eloquent speech “Tear Down ‘Deadbeat’ Dams” in 2014‚ Yvon Chouinard employs a vast selection of oratory tools and discusses the importance of taking down non-effective dams‚ damaging all sorts of rivers and lakes all around the world. Published on May 7th‚ 2014 by the New York Times Company‚ his speech contains many evidences and statistics‚ he used in order to form his argument to the decision that policy-makers should do about removing these dams. Chouinard begins his address with introducing

The water is withdrawn through a side intake from the left bank of the Koshi River. Koshi is known to be heavy sediment laden river‚ according to Hooning‚ 2011‚ the river carries 59 million m3 of sand annually.

held on the land by planting vegetation. Forests and grass should be planted where there are no natural growths. Dams built across rivers help hold back the water. Reservoirs behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons. Dams help prevent floods by controlling the flow of water. Many towns and cities get their water from nearby lakes and rivers. Some communities dump sewage and garbage into the water‚ making it unfit to drink. Water pollution is one of our most serious problems

The term ‘water’ in this project refers to the flowing water such as at the river‚ dam‚ reservoir and others. The behaviour of water is differs depending mainly on the structure of the channel in the nature itself. The discharge and velocity are also change especially due to raining seasons and also sediment transportation. Most
