ENVIRONMENT
Environment one of the major sector of recovery because whenever disaster (Manmade or natural) happens it is directly or indirectly affecting the cause of enhancing the destruction. All kind of natural or god given resources are limited and we have to preserve for future generation.
Following are the ten intervention have taken in the field of environment.
1 - Drought in Chile and its after math on water resources
2 - How Forest fire in Australia affecting environment.
3 - Volcanic eruption affecting human activity and in directly environment.
4 – Tsunami & Earthquake affecting coastal environment in Indonesia.
5 - Chernobyl Disaster and contamination of surrounding.
6 - Oil spillage in Mexico and pollution of sea. 7 - Frequent Tornado in America. 8 - Earthquake in Nepal and its debris management diluting environment 9 – Flood in Uttarakhand and its effect on flora and fauna 10 - Flood in Kashmir and its effects on landscape. Drought in Chile and its aftermath on water resources Chile being situated all along the coast the disaster like drought is unimaginable. …show more content…
In, many parts of Chile there is no rain fall for last 30 years. So, major chunk of land in Chile is facing huge scarcity of water . In the case of Chile, the sustained economic growth and social development experienced by the country since the 1990s have generated ever-increasing demands on water resources.
The following are the issue in Chile related to water resources ………. A – Water requirement for environment purpose – the demand of water should leads the ignoring of the proper functioning of lakes , ponds , to protection of ecosystem and their associated scenic and tourism value .
B - Water Pollution - water pollution must be tackled from both the perspective of the correct characteristics of the bodies of water themselves and their vulnerability to pollution, and the viewpoint of the sources of pollution and their relationship with the affected resources
Water resource policy applied in Chile
With respect to marine pollution, the Department of Maritime Territory and Merchant Marine (DIRECTEMAR) monitors’ water quality and keeps water quality records, which date back over ten years. For its part, the National Commission for the Environment (CONAMA), in collaboration with other related institutions, has drawn up seven environmental standards for the management of water resources, as well as a Presidential Directive on the establishment of secondary-level standards of environmental quality for inland and marine surface waters For its part, the Water Department (DGA) has drawn up a national policy for water resource management, and developed the first master plans for water resource management, which have the following guidelines for action: - Improvement of efficiency in water use; - Identification of water resources; - Harmonization of water and the environment; - Technical training and education about water; - Information about water resources and flood mitigation Programmes and projects (a) Integrated development and use of water resources (b) Drinking water supply and sanitation (c) Water for sustainable food production and sustainable rural development (d) Safe water plan (e) Industrial discharges Results Water resource protection In 1992, Chilean law placed under the official protection of the Water Department (DGA) the aquifers that feed …show more content…
Identification of water resources
Water networks have been an important development, and we have one of the most advanced water systems of Latin America. Knowledge has been gained about surface and underground water in all the major water basins in the country.
