Why Climate Change is Causing Floods In Assam?

Assam has been rightly called a miniature India because of its ethnic and linguistic diversity, natural resources, and the fact that it hosts various tribes residing in remote hills.

Even though historically the state of Assam has ranked among the most urbanized of India's states, it has been afflicted by various misfortunes recently. In addition, torrential rains and floods in the monsoon months destroy all the capital and development the state manages to produce all year.

The revered Brahmaputra has many meanings to the diverse communities of the state. But the river has also brought curses to the state. The river Brahmaputra divides Assam into two regions; North and South. This long and narrow river divides an entire state and is also very unstable. It changes its direction a lot.

Floods are not a new occurrence in Assam. Throughout history, the Brahmaputra has been prone to floods. There are several natural, hydrometeorological, and anthropogenic causes. Researchers have claimed that since the 1950s, a large earthquake caused much more instability in the Northeast. The state has become flood-prone because of the instability and newly arising man-made causes.

Each year, flooding claims hundreds of lives and affects millions. Assam has experienced 12 major floods since the year 1950, with the frequency being consistent in recent years, and the situation is only getting grimmer by the minute.

What adds to this misery? Climate Change.

Climate change is the evident cause of natural calamities ravaging lives around the globe. The adverse effects of Climate Change can not be denied anymore. And for those living in Assam and the surrounding areas, the impacts of Climate Change are evident.

The states in the North-East region are Assam, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Kerala, and parts of the U.P and Bihar. Whenever Assam is hit with floods, these neighboring states suffer as well. These states have faced major sudden changes in their weather, especially these dry states like U.P and Bihar. The most radical change takes place in Kerala. In the past, Kerala has experienced droughts, water shortages, and poor rainfalls. However, Kerala's weather suddenly changes when Assam is hit by floods. There is a sweeping transition from water scarcity to heavy rainfalls, droughts to minor floods.

These are the direct impacts of Climate Change. And in such states, the rainfall is harsh. The land, the people, and the livestock are not accustomed to such changes. And although the rainfall in these states caused by the weather in Assam is harsh, it is also periodic. This means that Kerala will face sudden rainfall one day, and in the next few days, the scarcity of water will emerge again, leading to yet another water crisis. This makes it a rather unique situation for the people living around Assam.

THE EMBANKMENTS.

Embankments are the walls constructed on the banks of rivers to control the flow of the rivers by directing them in a particular way and to prevent flooding in the nearby regions. Historically, people have believed embankments to be the most efficient way to prevent floods.

But the major flaw that remained unacknowledged by the officials is that when you try to restrict a river flow by narrowing it down and reducing its area, then the speed of the flow will increase along with an increase in the water level.

Therefore, if these embankments are not maintained properly, then the levels will keep rising to a point when the river will start flowing above the embankments. Therefore, these embankments are reconstructed strongly before the monsoon season.

THE PEOPLE AFFECTED.

Millions of people are affected by the floods in Assam every year, while hundreds lose their lives. This year, reports have indicated that since April, 83 people have been killed in the flood, while 17 others have lost their lives in landslides. And as many as 5 million people, including 1 million children from 4,000 villages have been affected.

Every day, new statements from people who survive these misfortunes emerge, people who lost their everything just hours ago.

"There was water everywhere, but not a single drop to drink." – Ronju Chowdhary, who lives in Udiana, a remote village in Assam, describes the horror she witnessed outside her house.

"There is no drinking water in the camp. My son has a fever, but I am unable to take him to the doctor," says Husna Begum, a 28-year-old woman who swam through the torrent in search of help and is now sheltering in a plastic tent with her two children.

"We are surrounded by flood water from all sides. There's hardly any water to drink. Food is running short too. And now I hear that the water levels are further rising, what will happen to us?” – another survivor says.

WHAT WE’RE DOING?

We see and hear with heavy hearts about these people affected by the floods. So, to help the grieving Assamese people, The Child Help Foundation did everything in its ability to share the suffering and help the people with necessities like food and water.

The Child Help Foundation volunteers are relentlessly working in Nalbari and Darrang districts to provide food relief and support to the affected population. We tried our best to follow the motto, that sharing sadness lessens the grief. So, we provide the people with emergency ration kits, and sanitation and hygiene kits. Each kit contains groceries, grains, packaged food, mustard oil, sanitary napkins, and mosquito racquets.

We hope that together we can help Assam get back on its feet.

What Can We Do To Help?

It doesn’t need to be said that in times like these, whatever we do will not be able to help these people get over the trouble. So that’s why The Child Help Foundation urges you to come forward to save the lives of our neighbors and friends in Assam.

Your generous contributions could go a long way for the people in Assam, who are in a dire need of help. We ask you to keep in mind, that whatever contributions you make to help the people in Assam, won’t go futile, and will be appreciated throughout life.

Floods, Droughts and Relief Funds.

It’s looks like we are almost everyday asking people to donate to some relief fund or the other due to floods in some region in India. It’s impossible to ignore that floods and droughts are becoming, no, they have in fact become the biggest cause of concern for the masses and as usual, what worries the masses, devastates the poor.

India being a tropical nation, surrounded by sea on three sides and Himalayas in the north have a very unique geography. This unique geography is a gift, giving India the biodiversity it’s famous for. But this also leaves India highly vulnerable to any change in climate and global warming as well.

It’s must not be shocking to see the flood events on the rise even when the rainfall is now lesser than what it was. 2018 saw the sixth lowest monsoon rainfall since 1901 while 2019 is the slowest progressing monsoon in last 12 years with July having a deficit of more than 20 percent. This was an all India phenomenon, with 20 states recording deficient rainfall.

Now, the peculiar thing here is that despite all the deficient rains, floods in Bihar, West Bengal and Assam, have left millions stranded when the deficit rainfall in the North East was at a staggering 38%. Similar situations have been observed in Mumbai, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, M.P. and Rajasthan. Both MP and Maharashtra, which are facing their worst floods in decades, had deficit rainfall.

The problem here is the lessening number of rainy days in total but at the same time intensified 10-15cms rainfall in a single day events. This means increased precipitation in less number of days causing flash floods. In the last 60 years, events of extreme rainfall in central parts of the nation have tripled, this is not a natural phenomenon but one that is man made.

Add to this the poor preparedness, construction over water bodies in urban areas, indiscriminate felling of trees, absence of storm water drainage and extinction of any left over water bodies in urban areas, leaves the people in a fix.

Now, the situation is grim and poses certain questions:

1- Is it too late and Is is possible to reverse the trends ?

2- What can be done in the current scenario for short term relief?

3- What is the way forward for long term stability?

Well, these questions are important and we continue to ignore them then there would be no answer to them soon.

Coming to the first question, No, it’s not too late. Well yes, we can’t completely reverse it, that’s not possible but yes we can make sufficient progress to stall the deteriorating situation.

Well, for starters short term relief, we must ensure that no more water body is being filled for construction of some building, construction of storm water drainage must be built and areas which lay low are concentrated more on with proper drainage channels. We must also ensure that relief is planned much before such scenarios and people are not left stranded for relief.

We are all tired of hearing this word but then it remains the truth. The only way forward is sustainable development. India is a developing country, yes and it would need to use its natural resources and people will demand certain things which would mean even exploiting the nature. Yet, one must remember “existence comes before essence” if the living conditions themselves would make the country inhabitable with the entire coastlines destroyed and floods and droughts displacing millions and rising temperatures making cities living chimneys, what use would be the developing and yes, the pace at which we are moving might not be able to catch up.

So, it’s important to stick to the plan. The government has laid a lot of stress on the idea of SDGs and its focus on areas like Solar energy, Nuclear energy, Interlinking of rivers, Diversification of crops from to less water intensive ones, Switching to electric vehicles completely by 2025, reducing carbon emissions to a third of 2005 levels by 2030 and many more.

It was heartening to see that India is well on track to achieve 2 out of 3 major commitments it made in the Paris agreement well before time which was till 2030. But one target of creating additional carbon sink is still not in reach, which is very important as well.

India has taken big strides, so much so that it has outdone many developed nations and emerged as a leader in taking actions on this front but a lot is to be done.

While the intention is there and actions have also been taken, these actions are needed to be sustained and also, intensified. This problem that we face, we must remember is man made, we created it, thus, we have to fight it and find a solution to it. Together, we can do it.

Also, if you can, do donate to relief funds, people need your help and at this time, there is no better way to help for someone sitting in their homes hundreds of kilometres away.
