Persistence of iodine deficiency in Gangetic flood-prone area, West Bengal, India.
In 2000, India revoked the ban on production and sale of non-iodised salt. We conducted a study in the north 24 Parganas district in the state of West Bengal to assess the prevalence of goitre, status of urinary iodine excretion (UIE) level and to estimate iodine content of salts at the household level. We surveyed 363 school children aged eight to ten years selected using a multistage cluster ...
متن کاملMitigating flood exposure
Introduction. In 2011, following heavy winter snowfall, two cities bordering two rivers in North Dakota, USA faced major flood threats. Flooding was foreseeable and predictable although the extent of risk was uncertain. One community, Fargo, situated in a shallow river basin, successfully mitigated and prevented flooding. For the other community, Minot, located in a deep river valley, preventio...
متن کاملProbabilistic flood hydrographs using Monte Carlo simulation: potential impact to flood inundation mapping
Flood inundation modelling generally involves two steps. The first involves the use of a hydrologic model, such as RORB, to estimate the design flood hydrograph for a given design storm event. These models require several inputs, such as design rainfalls (i.e. duration, intensity & temporal pattern), losses, baseflow and routing parameters; each of which has an associated degree of uncertainty ...
متن کاملStudy on Livelihood through Adaptation and Diversification in Flood Prone Areas in West Bengal
The study points out the need for third party intervention in promoting the livelihood patterns which are less exposed to the damaging effects of flood. Self-employment in small business or trading is a good option for households to supplement their streams of income. But such business even though required small capital, required at least some degree of training and skills development. Therefor...
متن کاملIntroducing the Flood Vulnerability Index (FVI) as a flood crisis management tool
Background and objective: Floods are among the most dangerous natural disasters that causes loss of life and property every year. The destructive effects of floods are more documentedو due to climate change and increasing economic and social development. Social and infrastructural vulnerabilities have also increased due to human settlement adjacent to river floodplains. Therefore, to prevent mo...
