Question Q2GS3GS3

Recent urban floods of Shimla (2023) twice in one season show the impact of anthropogenic activities.

Main Body

Natural factors: Erratic monsoons due to meteorological phenomena (El-Nino, Bipolar cyclone); Melting of glaciers = GLOFs. Anthropic factors: Climate change causing natural factors (GHG emissions); Encroachment of lakes, wetlands; Urbanisation; Dams, Reservoirs attacking natural flow; Sudden flood of water if waterlevel rises; Illegal sand mining (Legalised in L...).

Local disaster planning; Encroaching wetlands as wastelands EIA; Sponge cities; EWS (IFFLOW, cFLOWs); Flood zoning of plains. Floods increase in recent years show that the focus should be improved on floods in its various forms (averine, urbane, GLOF).
