4.0 CHENNAI FLOOD MITIGATION MEASURES The mitigation measures have to address flood avoidance, flood tolerance, and flood resistance in an integrated way. The measures that are implemented and the new measures to be developed are meant to control causative factors like uncontrolled urban sprawl, loss of natural drainage, the inadequacy of the storm water drainage system, lack of maintenance of existing systems, increase in impervious surfaces and lack of coordination between stakeholders…

Eight inches tall with an 18-inch wingspan. It has dark brown plumage, brown and white vertical breast streaks, and no ear-tufts with yellow orange eyes and white “glasses”. Thousands of this seemingly tame, fearless little owl migrate from Canada south through Maine to points south in winter, but some reside in the state throughout the year. Like the screech owl, it nests in tree cavities and will use a nest box. It prefers dense coniferous and broad-leaved forests next to water. It eats small…

right before I jump in the water, I undergo a wave of excitement and thrill. The best sight I ever endured underwater was when I was diving in Grand Cayman with my father. We went swimming through caverns that were lined with starfish, coral, and crustaceans and ran into millions of silversides (schooling fish) just swimming along. The fish moved so swiftly according to our motions as if we were controlling them. The cavern must have been there for thousands of years and for me to swim right…

Introduction: Due to human’s history of adverse interference, the livelihood of the normally abundant Australian Sea Lion has been affected. It is a pinniped animal, belonging to the genus Neophoca and the species cinerea.. Within this report there will be discussion of why Australian Sea Lions are considered a keystone species, including what their role is in resourcing, dominating, as well as maintaining the ecosystem they populate; scenarios of what would happen if they went extinct; how…

Forensic Entomology Forensic Entomology is the study of insects and arthropods which help aid the legal system. This includes insects, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans most commonly maggots are used. Forensic entomology can not only aid in murder investigations but it can also be used to detect abuse of children and the elderly, to determine the location of the crime scene if the body had been moved, termite damage or even bugs in food. History Forensic Entomology was first…

environmental politics like management of resources and control of the environment. These 3 aspects are highly interconnected and work together to frame the narrative in Mumbai. The presence of mangroves leads to the many different species of fish and crustaceans ("Why Should We Protect Mangroves."n.p., n.d.). The abundance of marine animals breeds a thriving fishing industry however; this leads to the problem of not being able to manage resources properly. The copious amounts of marine life…

Climate change's equally evil twin is the name for ocean acidification its harmful because of the excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since we don't see or feel it because the effects are happening underwater. CO2 is released by burning coal,oil and gas but its doesnt stay in the air but it dissolves into the oceans. The oceans have absorbed 525 billion of CO2 from the atmosphere and they collect about 22 tons per day. Scientist thought it was it good thing because it wasn't…

Overfishing: the practice of commercial and non-commercial fishing which depletes a fishery by catching so many adult fish that there aren’t enough remaining to breed and replenish the population. Currently, fishing operations around the world are two to three times larger than what our oceans can sustain. Our combined global fishing capacity, or the amount of fish that can be taken by a single unit whether that be a fisherman or a trawler, is enough to be evenly expanded over at least 4 planets…

certainly a plausible explanation for their decline in recent years” (Schindler et al.). Additionally, the prey of the salmon may be experiencing similar effects, and perhaps the climate change has caused significantly less habitable options for the crustaceans, amphipods, and smaller fish that make up the majority of the Chinook diet. A potential disappearance in prey may be the reason why the other salmon populations in the region remain strong, as Kings inhabit more northern environments in…
