آج ہم اُردو میں سیلاب پر مضمون فراہم کرنے جا رہے ہیں۔ یہ مضمون ان طلباء کی مدد کر سکتا ہے جو سیلاب کے بارے میں معلومات تلاش کر رہے ہیں۔ یہ مضمون یاد رکھنے میں بھی آسان ہے۔ اس مضمون کو آسان اور سادہ الفاظ میں لکھا گیا ہے لہذا کوئی بھی طالب علم اس موضوع پر لکھ سکتا ہے۔

سیلاب پر مضمون

سیلاب سب سے خطرناک قدرتی آفات میں سے ایک ہے۔ جو بارشوں کے ہونے پردریاؤں میں پانی کے زیادہ بہاؤ کی وجہ سے آتا ہے۔ جس کے نتیجے میں دریاؤں کا پانی کناروں سے نکل کر میدانی علاقوں میں چلا جاتا ہے۔ یہ لوگوں کے مال اور فصلوں کو بہت نقصان پہنچا سکتا ہے۔

سیلاب کی وجوہات

عام طور پر جب زیادہ بارشیں ہوتی ہے تو پاکستان میں سیلاب کا قوی امکان ہوتا ہے۔

شدید دریائی بارشوں کی وجہ سے دنیا کے کئی مقامات کو اس قدرتی آفات کا سامنا رہتا ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ ڈیم (Dam) کا ٹوٹنا اور پہاڑوں پر برف کا پگھلنا سیلاب کی ایک اور بڑی وجہ ہے۔

اگر ہم ساحلی علاقوں کی بات کریں توطوفان اور سونامی ان علاقوں میں سیلاب کا باعث بنتے ہیں۔

بہرحال سیلاب کی وجوہات جو بھی ہوں پر اس کے بہت سے نقصان دہ نتائج ہوتے ہیں۔ سیلاب سے حالات زندگی کو نقصان پہنچتا ہے اور اس تباہی سے نکلنے میں کافی وقت لگتا ہے۔ اس لیے سیلاب کے نتائج کو دیکھتے ہوئے ہمیں اس کی روک تھام کے لیے اقدامات کرنے چاہیے۔

سیلاب کے بعد کے اثرات

سیلاب متاثرہ علاقے کے روزمرہ کے کام میں خلل ڈالتا ہے۔ شدید سیلاب بعض اوقات بڑے پیمانے پر تباہی پھیلاتے ہیں۔ سیلاب کی وجہ سے بہت سے لوگ اور جانور اپنی جانوں سے ہاتھ دھو بیٹھے ہیں اورکئی زخمی ہوجاتے ہیں۔ سیلاب سے بیماریوں میں بھی اضافہ ہوتا ہے۔ کھڑا پانی مچھروں کو اپنی طرف متوجہ کرتا ہے جو ملیریا، ڈینگی اور دیگر بیماریوں کا باعث بنتا ہے۔

اس کے علاوہ، لوگوں کوبجلی کی بندش اور مہنگی قیمتوں کا بھی سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ جیسے جیسے خوراک اور اشیاء کی فراہمی محدود ہو جاتی ہے، قیمتیں قدرتی طور پر بڑھ جاتی ہیں اوراس سے عام آدمی کے لیے بڑا مسئلہ پیدا ہوتا ہے۔

سب سے اہم بات یہ ہے کہ پورے ملک کو معاشی نقصان کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ لوگوں کو بچانے اور اس آفت سے نمٹنے کے لیے درکار وسائل ایک بھاری رقم مانگتے ہیں۔

اس سب کے علاوہ، سیلاب ہمارے ماحول کو بھی متاثر کرتا ہے اور اس سے مٹی کا معیار خراب ہوتا ہے۔ ہم زرخیز زمین سے محروم ہو جاتے ہیں۔ اسی طرح سیلاب نباتات اور حیوانات کوبھی نقصان پہنچاتا ہے۔ لہذا ان سنگین نتائج سے بچنے کے لئے اقدام کرنا ضروری ہیں۔

سیلاب سے بچنے کے طریقے

حکومت اور شہریوں کو مل کر سیلاب سے بچاؤ کے طریقے تیارکرنے چاہئیں۔ سیلاب آنے پر اٹھائے جانے والے اقدامات کے بارے میں مناسب آگاہی پھیلائی جانی چاہیے۔ انتباہی نظام(Warning systems) قائم کیا جانا چاہیے تاکہ لوگوں کو اپنے آپ کو بچانے کے لیے وقت مل سکے۔

اس کے علاوہ، بارش کی وجہ سے ضرورت سے زیادہ پانی کو ذخیرہ کرنے کے لیے ایک موثر نظام ہونا چاہیے۔ سب سے اہم اقدامات میں سے ایک نکاسی آب کے نظام کو مضبوط کرنا ہے۔ اس سے پانی کو جمع ہونے سے روکا جا سکتا ہے۔

دوسری طرف ہمیں ڈیم (Dam) مضبوطی سے بنانے چائیے جس میں سستے مواد کا استعمال نہ ہو۔ سیلاب سے بچنے کے لیے حکومت کوڈیموں (Dams) کی معیاری تعمیر کو یقینی بنانا چاہیے۔

مختصر یہ کہ ہم قدرتی وجوہات جیسے بارش اور پہاڑوں پر برف کے پگھلنے کو نہیں روک سکتے۔ تاہم، ہم انسانی ساختہ وجوہات کو روک سکتے ہیں جیسے ڈیموں کا ٹوٹنا، نکاسی کا ناقص نظام، انتباہی نظام نصب کرنا اور بہت کچھ۔ ہمیں سنگاپور جیسے ممالک سے  سبق حاصل کرنا چاہیے جو سال کے زیادہ تر وقت شدید بارشوں کے باوجود سیلاب کا سامنا نہیں کرتے۔

نتیجہ (Conclusion)

سیلاب ان قدرتی آفات میں سے ایک ہے جو مختلف علاقوں میں بڑی تباہی کا باعث بنتا ہے۔ اب وقت آگیا ہے کہ حکومت پاکستان اس مسئلے کو سنجیدگی سے لے اور اس مسئلے پر قابو پانے کے لیے سخت اقدامات پر عمل کرے۔

سیلاب پر دس جملے

1) سیلاب ایک بڑے رقبے پر بڑی مقدار میں پانی کا بہاؤ ہوتا ہے، جو متاثرہ علاقے کی تباہی کا باعث بنتا ہے۔

2) دنیا بھر میں کئی خطوں کو ہر سال سیلاب کے مسئلے کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔

3) پانی کے زیادہ بہاؤ اور نکاسی کا مناسب نظام نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے سیلاب آتا ہے۔

4) سیلاب کی شدت خطے کے لحاظ سے مختلف ہو سکتی ہے۔

5) طوفان اور سونامی ساحلی علاقوں میں سیلاب کا باعث بنتے ہیں۔

6) سیلاب بھی دیگر قدرتی آفات کی طرح بڑی تباہی کا سبب بن سکتا ہے۔

7) دنیا بھر کے بہت سے شہر خوفناک سیلاب کا شکار ہوئے ہیں، جس کے نتیجے میں لوگوں اور جانوروں کی زندگیاں تباہ ہوئی ہیں۔

8) کسان سیلاب سے بہت متاثر ہوتے ہیں کیونکہ موسمی حالات کی وجہ سے ان کی فصلیں تباہ ہو جاتی ہیں۔

9) شدید سیلاب کا سامنا کرنے والے مقامات کو دوبارہ بحال ہونے میں مہینوں لگ جاتے ہیں۔

10) اب وقت آگیا ہے کہ حکومت  پاکستان اس مسئلے کو سنجیدگی سے لیں اور اس مسئلے پر قابو پانے کے لیے سخت اقدامات کرے۔

[Urdu translation] Floods in Pakistan: Rethinking the humanitarian role

The scale of the flooding in Pakistan since June 2022 is immense, with impacts exceeding previous disasters such as the 2010 floods. An estimated 33 million people have been affected, with 7.9 million displaced, and an estimated US$30 billion in combined losses and damages. Large parts of Sindh and some areas in other provinces remain inundated. Pakistan’s government and civil society entities are struggling to mount a commensurately large-scale humanitarian response that can meet critical needs, with a fraction of the international humanitarian funding and operational support that was mobilised in 2010.

Evidence from interviews, available data, and a survey of affected people suggests that the international relief response to date has fallen well short of the need, raising fears for the prospects of recovery.

800 Words Essay on Floods In Pakistan With Quotations

Impacts of floods in pakistan, mitigating the adverse effects of floods in pakistan, 400 words essay on floods in pakistan.

Pakistan experiences devastating floods every year, causing loss of life and property. Despite being a common disaster in the country, the impact of floods remains devastating. In this article, we delve into the causes and impacts of floods in Pakistan and explore ways to mitigate their adverse effects.

What Causes Floods in Pakistan?

Monsoon rainfall:.

Pakistan’s location in the monsoon region makes it susceptible to heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, which can cause widespread flooding. This is because heavy downpours in a short period of time can overwhelm the drainage systems, causing water to overflow into low-lying areas and causing widespread damage. Additionally, the country’s topography, with its mountain ranges, valleys, and plains, also exacerbates the problem by channeling the water into narrow channels and causing flash floods.

Glacial Melt:

The Himalayan glaciers, located in northern Pakistan, are melting at an alarming rate, which contributes to the country’s flood problem. The melting of these glaciers increases the volume of water in rivers and streams, causing them to overflow their banks and result in widespread flooding. The problem is further exacerbated by the rapid rate at which the glaciers are melting, which results in a large amount of water being released into rivers and streams all at once, leading to a sudden increase in the water levels and causing flash floods.

Poor Drainage System:

The inadequate drainage system in Pakistan is a major cause of floods. The poor design of the drainage channels and the rampant illegal construction in the country can result in blockages and obstructions, which can cause water to back up and overflow into surrounding areas, resulting in widespread flooding. Additionally, the illegal construction of buildings and infrastructure in flood-prone areas can also exacerbate the problem by blocking the flow of water and causing water to accumulate in low-lying areas.

Deforestation:

The rapid deforestation in Pakistan is also contributing to the frequency and intensity of floods in the country. Trees play a crucial role in retaining water and reducing runoff, and their loss can lead to increased runoff and flooding. Deforestation also reduces the amount of vegetation that can absorb water, leading to a more rapid runoff of water into rivers and streams and causing them to overflow their banks and result in widespread flooding.

Loss of Life and Property:

Floods in Pakistan have a devastating impact on human lives, often resulting in the loss of lives and widespread damage to property and infrastructure, especially in rural areas where residents have limited access to resources and support. The destruction of homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals can have long-lasting effects on communities, displacing families and causing widespread poverty and homelessness.

Health Crises:

Floods in Pakistan can pose a serious threat to public health, spreading waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and malaria. With contaminated water sources, the risk of water-borne illnesses increases, putting the lives of millions of people at risk, especially in areas where there are limited healthcare facilities.

Agricultural Disruption:

The agricultural sector, which is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy, is often severely impacted by floods, damaging crops and reducing soil fertility. This can have a significant impact on food security, leading to food shortages and increased prices, affecting the livelihoods of millions of farmers and their families.

Economic Losses:

In addition to the loss of human lives, floods in Pakistan can result in massive economic losses, particularly for small businesses and farmers. The destruction of infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and transportation systems, can disrupt trade and commerce, causing significant financial losses for businesses.

Improved Drainage System:

To prevent blockages and reduce the risk of floods, the drainage system in Pakistan must be improved. This can include upgrading existing channels, constructing new ones, and ensuring proper maintenance to prevent blockages.

Afforestation:

The government should launch a massive afforestation drive to restore tree cover, which can help to reduce runoff and prevent floods. By planting trees, the government can mitigate the effects of floods and provide a long-term solution to protect communities from the adverse impacts of floods.

Strict Construction Regulations:

To prevent illegal construction and blockages, strict construction regulations must be enforced. This can include implementing fines and penalties for violators and providing support to local authorities to enforce these regulations.

Flood Early Warning System:

To ensure timely evacuation and advance warning, an effective flood early warning system should be in place. This can include installing early warning systems, such as flood gauges and weather monitoring systems, to provide real-time information to communities, allowing them to evacuate and prepare in advance.

In conclusion, floods are a recurring problem in Pakistan, causing widespread damage to life and property. By addressing the root causes and implementing measures to enhance the country’s preparedness and response mechanisms, we can reduce the frequency and intensity of floods in Pakistan and ensure a safer and more sustainable future for all

Floods in Pakistan have been a major natural disaster for the country. They are caused by heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, as well as by melting snow from the Himalayas. These floods can cause widespread destruction, including damage to homes, infrastructure, and crops.

The 2022 floods in Pakistan were particularly severe, affecting more than 33 million people and causing billions of dollars in damage. The floods affected large areas of the country, including the Balochistan, Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. The heavy rainfall and overflowing rivers caused widespread destruction, including damage to homes, roads, and crops.

The impact of floods on Pakistan can be devastating. In addition to the physical damage caused by floods, they can also have a significant economic impact. Floods can destroy crops and damage infrastructure, leading to a loss of income for farmers and businesses. They can also disrupt transportation and communication networks, making it difficult for people to access essential goods and services.

The government of Pakistan has taken steps to try to prevent and mitigate the effects of floods. This includes building dams and other infrastructure to control the flow of water, as well as providing support to affected communities. However, much more needs to be done to address the issue of floods in Pakistan.

As I mentioned earlier, the government of Pakistan has taken steps to try to prevent and mitigate the effects of floods. This includes building dams and other infrastructure to control the flow of water, as well as providing support to affected communities.

However, there are also other measures that can be taken to reduce the impact of floods in Pakistan. For example, improving drainage systems and increasing vegetation in flood-prone areas can help to absorb excess water and reduce the risk of flooding. In addition, educating communities about the risks of floods and how to prepare for them can help to reduce the loss of life and property.

It is also important for the government to work with international organizations and other countries to develop more effective strategies for dealing with floods. This could include sharing information and expertise, as well as providing financial and technical assistance. By working together, it may be possible to reduce the impact of floods in Pakistan and protect communities from the devastating effects of this natural disaster.

In conclusion, floods in Pakistan are a major natural disaster that can have devastating effects on the country. They are caused by heavy rainfall and melting snow and can cause significant damage to homes, infrastructure, and crops. The government of Pakistan has taken steps to try to prevent and mitigate the effects of floods, but more needs to be done to address this issue.

Floods in Pakistan Essay for Class 10, Class 12 and Graduation

The recent floods in Pakistan were a calamity. They visit our country quite frequently. We live in the modern age, which is remarkable for its scientific advancement but man has failed to overcome floods completely. However, we can set aside the adverse results of the floods to some extent. Floods destroy everything which man achieves after a struggle of many years. They are a horrible thing. They destroy houses and buildings. They uproot the electric and telephone poles. They render thousands of people homeless.

In Punjab, the recent floods played a havoc unknown in history. Almost, all the rivers overflowed their banks and destroyed everything. The villages of Lahore, Dera Gazi Khan, Jhang, Multan and Sargodha were submerged in water. People saved their lives by climbing up the trees. The villagers were sleeping in their homes when the water of the flooding river entered their homes and caused an alarm. They were caught unawares. They rushed out of their homes without taking with them their goods and articles of the house. Epidemics broke out in the villages. Crops were destroyed. Fertile land turned barren and dry. The whole system of communication was paralysed for many days. People saved their lives by swimming in the Water. Many of them climbed up the trees. The army was called in. It was due to the sincere and dedicated efforts of the young men of the army that the lives of many flood affectees were saved. The entire machinery of Government tried its best to set aside the adverse effects of the flood. Relief centres were set up in every town, city and capital. The rich and well-to-date people came forward to help their affected brothers. The causes of the flood are many.

First, they are caused by heavy rainfall in monsoons.

Secondly, the snow on the hills begins to melt in the summer heat. The rivers get swollen. When this continues for some time, the waters rise beyond the banks of the rivers and overspread the neighbouring ground.

Thirdly, the beds of the river are not very deep. That is why they overflow very soon.

Fourthly, all the rivers of Pakistan enter our territory from India. India controls all the rivers. She has made many dams on these rivers. She lets loose a huge quantity of water into our rivers out of revenge. This cannot be controlled by our own efforts unless India cooperates with us.

Last year, l witnessed the scene of a flood in my village. The river Ravi which flows by a village was in flood. It had been raining ceaselessly for over a week. Away on the hills, it had been raining for almost a month. The terrible day came. The river Ravi overflowed its banks and there was water everywhere. There was every fear that our village would be washed away. We brought out cattle to the verandah for safety. We went to bed, but could not sleep for fear of being washed away.

The rain stopped at night. The creaking of frogs, the cries of the cattle and the shouts of men filled the air with fright. A chill wind was blowing. Our courtyard was filled with water. It was almost knee-deep. The water was still rising. Our cattle were drowned in the water. We managed to climb up the trees and stayed there for twenty-four hours. We saved our lives with great difficulty. We spent a very difficult and uncomfortable time there. The helicopters of the army reached us and took us away to a relief centre. We spent there many days and nights in the open. After eight days, the news was brought that the water of the river had gone low considerably. We came to our village and built our house again. We had a serious financial loss in our life. Our cattle and crops were taken away by the floods. We cannot forget the terrible time we had while this flood.

Pakistan Floods of 2010 , flooding of the Indus River in Pakistan in late July and August 2010 that led to a humanitarian disaster considered to be one of the worst in Pakistan’s history. The floods, which affected approximately 20 million people, destroyed homes, crops, and infrastructure and left millions vulnerable to malnutrition and waterborne disease. Estimates of the total number of people killed ranged from 1,200 to 2,200, while approximately 1.6 million houses were damaged or destroyed, leaving an estimated 14 million people without homes.

Record monsoon rains began to fall in Pakistan’s mountainous northwest region about July 22, causing flash floods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa , Punjab , and Balochistan provinces. The unprecedented volume of rainwater overwhelmed flood defenses, sweeping away roads and bridges and inundating large areas of land. By August 1 at least 1,000 people had been killed by flooding and at least 1,000,000 had been forced from their homes. As the floodwaters surged downriver into Balochistan and Sindh provinces in August, rain continued to fall in the northwest. With one-fifth of Pakistan affected by mid-August, rescuers and humanitarian aid workers struggled to reach victims stranded by rising water and by extensive damage to roads and bridges.

Rescue efforts were led by the Pakistani armed forces while humanitarian aid was provided by the Pakistani government, by foreign governments including the United States , Saudi Arabia , and the United Kingdom, and by nongovernmental organizations as well as local charities, some with ties to militant Islamic groups. The Pakistani government was criticized within Pakistan for its response to the floods: many saw it as sluggish and disorganized, and the preferential treatment given to some areas was cited as evidence of governmental corruption. In early August Pres. Asif Ali Zardari furthered the perception that Pakistan’s leaders were indifferent to flood victims’ suffering when, rather than staying in the country to monitor the rescue and relief efforts, he went on a scheduled 10-day trip to Europe. By October 2010 the water levels of the Indus had largely returned to normal. Large floodwater lakes lingered in some low-lying areas until the early months of 2011.

The damage caused by the floods promised to have a long-lasting impact in Pakistan. Months after the floods had subsided, hundreds of thousands of people remained in temporary camps with inadequate sanitation and food supply. Many of the people who were most severely affected by the floods were small farmers; an estimated 5.4 million acres (2.2 million hectares) of crops were destroyed, along with an estimated 1.2 million head of livestock. The floods also devastated Pakistan’s public services and physical infrastructure, damaging or destroying more than 10,000 schools and 500 clinics and hospitals while sweeping away more than 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of railways and roads. The Pakistani government estimated that economic losses from the floods totaled $43 billion. A year after the floods, international aid from countries, humanitarian organizations, and private individuals totaled $1.3 billion.

Flood Essay for Students and Children

500+ words essay on flood.

Flood is one of the most dangerous natural disasters. It happens when excessive water is collected in any area. It usually happens due to heavy rainfall. India is highly prone to flood. There are many regions in the country that face this natural disaster because of the overflowing of rivers. Moreover, it also happens because of the melting of snow. Another reason for floods is when the dam breaks down. If we look at the coastal areas, the hurricanes and tsunamis are held responsible for causing floods. In this essay on flood, we will see the prevention and after-affect of flood.

In other words, whatever the cause may be, it is equally dangerous. It has a lot of harmful consequences. Flood damages the living conditions and it takes a lot of time to recover from this disaster. Therefore, the consequences of floods must be known and steps must be taken to prevent it.

After-effects of Flood

Floods interrupt with the day to day functioning of the affected area. The severe floods sometimes cause mass destruction. A lot of people and animals lose their lives due to floods. Several others are injured. Floods also bring a rise in diseases. The stagnant water attracts mosquitoes causing malaria , dengue, and more illnesses.

Furthermore, people face power cuts due to the danger of electrocution. They also have to face expensive pricing. As the supply of food and goods gets limited, the prices naturally grow higher. This creates a big problem for the common man.

Most importantly, the whole country faces economic loss. The resources needed to rescue people and tackle this disaster demands a hefty amount. Plus, the citizens lose their houses and cars which they worked all their lives for.

Subsequently, floods also hamper the environment. It causes soil erosion and this degrades the quality of the soil. We lose out on fertile soil. Similarly, floods also damage flora and fauna. They damage crops and displace trees. Thus, the measure should be taken to avoid these grave consequences.

Ways to Prevent flood

The government and citizens must work together to formulate ways to prevent floods. Proper awareness must be spread about the steps to take when floods occur. Warning systems must be set up so people get sufficient time to save themselves. In addition, areas that are more likely to have floods must have tall buildings above the flood level.

Other than that, dams must be constructed strongly. The use of cheap materials causes dams to break. The government must ensure there is a quality building of dams to prevent floods.

In short, we cannot prevent natural causes like rain and the melting of glaciers. However, we can stop the manmade causes like breaking of dams, poor drainage system, installing warning systems and more.

Essay on “A Flood Scene” Complete Essay for Class 10, Class 12 and Graduation and other classes.

A Flood Scene

Essay No. 01

India is a land of rivers. So floods are very common in this country. We hear of floods every year. They are not new things. There are many causes of flood. Sometimes the rainfall is heavy. Rivers cannot carry all the water. The water overflows and spreads to long distances making flood. Sometimes dams are broken causing flood.

The floods are common in India. They are a natural calamity. Floods are the curse of God on earth. They occur on account. Of heavy rainfall. They  occur almost in every country, when the rains are heavy and continue for a long time. These floods cause a huge loss of life and property.

I live near the Yamuna river in a small village. Forty families live there. Every year during the rainy season our village is surrounded by Yamuna water. We have built our houses on the rocky ground. It is much above the level of the surrounding earth. Last year heavy rains caused flood. We had to vacate our village. We saw big sheet of water all round. Boats were playing in the Yamuna. I saw with great horror many houses surrounded by   angry water. Ultimately we had to vacate our houses and went to our farm where we were safe. The farm was situated at about fifteen kilometers away from our village in the interior.

 The effect of this flood in neighbouring villages was very great. It caused a great loss of human life and property. Crops were damaged, tree were uprooted, houses were washed away, cattle were drowned. Heavy loss of life and property took place and epidemic broke out. The people were rendered homeless.

The Government officers had made arrangement for a big camp. This was arranged for those who left their hearths and homes. Food was freely supplied to them. To save people from the possible attack of diseases all the precautions were taken. The people in the camp were given medical aid. I remember that  for two days we also had to stay there. The condition of the people was very  miserable. They had to stand like beggars in queues for food. The poorest people were given good first and then people like us had good in the last. 

The floods in the river Yumuna caused great loss to the people of affected areas. It spoiled the crops completely. Our village specially suffered a great loss. Nearly all the mud houses wren washed away by the swift current of water. Hundreds of cattle were drowned. When the water receded, the Government gave financial aid to the farmers. The poor people got money to rebuild their mud houses and to purchase some necessary things such as cloth, sugar and food. We also got some loan from the Government for buying seeds and chemical fertilizers. Three hundred rupees were given by way of financial aid to us. Now new attempts are being made to check the floods. Government has started to construct embankment along the river banks.

We have no control on the causes of floods. We cannot check extensive rains. Science has failed to conquer the heat of the sun. man is powerless in this respect. We can only minimize human suffering and loss of property. To avoid the dagger of the flood, big tanks and canals should be made. Big dams should be constructed to prevent the water of the flooded rivers. People should be trained to serve in such calamities. They should be taught swimming and rowing.

Essay No. 02

Flood in My Village

 It was the rainy season and for one whole week, the rain poured incessantly. The water level in the river rose steadily until the water split over, flooding many low-lying areas. My village was one of the areas affected and we had to move our belongings to higher ground. There, we waited for rescue teams to arrive. The whole village was submerged in about one meter of water. The currents were swift and merciless, sweeping away livestock and furniture. Red Crescent members could be seen busy evacuating old folk, women and children trapped by the rising waters. Flood victims were taken to a Flood Relief Centre. Here we were given hot drinks, porridge and milk for the babies. Some had to be given clothes and blankets as they could not save anything in time.

After three days, the rain subsided and the flood waters receded, it was such a relief to see the sun again. Flood victims began to move back home, to clean up the place as well as to assess the damage.

Essay No. 03

In spite of phenomenal scientific and technological advancements, we suffer from many natural calamities like flood, drought, famine, earthquake and devastating storms every year. We in India are frequent victims of these devastations. Floods cause a great havoc in India. They destroy life and property on a vast scale every year in the plains of northern India. Floods have been a major cause of calamity in India because there is a big network of mighty rivers. They get flooded during the monsoon season every year and create terrible devastation. The Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmaputra, Gomati, Gandak, Kosi, etc., are snow-fed and perennial. During the monsoon season, they receive very heavy rainfall and so they discharge the maximum quantity of water causing frequent floods. The peninsular rivers like Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri Narmada, Mahanadi, etc., are mainly rain-fed, but they too get flooded in rains. The swollen rivers, during monsoon months, often burst their banks and dams causing a deluge. The Worst affected areas are those of Assam, Bihar, West Bengal and Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Consequently, standing crops, people livestock, villages and towns are swept away. Houses, buildings and huts collapse and roads; railings, bridges, etc., are damaged and destroyed. Power and electrical failures plunge the vast areas into darkness and gloom. Had there been no floods and droughts, India would have been a very prosperous country because it is mainly an agricultural country.

Both floods and droughts are most ravaging. These are the two major calamities visiting India every now and then. Floods are a regular feature in India. It is a matter of great regret that our Government has not been successful to tame the rivers so as to solve the problems of devastating floods. Something very effective and lasting must be done to prevent floods and huge recurring losses of men and material caused by them. The poor masses in the villages are the worst sufferers. Rivers are a great boon and blessing, but when they are in flood, as they often do in rains in the northern plains, they become a great curse. During floods the rivers often change their course and submerge big areas of agricultural and populated land.

There are many causes of floods in India. During monsoon there is heavy rainfall in the Himalayas and its adjoining areas. As a result of this tributaries and rivers begin to overflow as to receive excess of water from their catchment areas. During  summer the melting of snow in the Himalayas causes fly, Silting caused by landslides, etc., in the rivers also causes floods. When the rivers get chocked because of continuous silting, there are terrible floods. Indiscriminate destruction of forests, trees and vegetation cover of the vast areas of land is another cause of floods. Because of deforestation there are soil erosion, landslides and no-absorption of water into the earth.

Thus, floods are not only natural, but they are also man-made. By aforestation on a vast scale in the catchment areas and slopes of the mountains, etc., we can minimise the floods. The destruction of forests and cutting of trees for timber, fuel, etc., should be immediately banned. Afforestation would go a long way in checking the overflowing of the rivers and the floods. A developing country like India can hardly afford huge annual losses caused by floods and deluge. Another effective method to control the floods is to interlink the rivers of the country. It would help the excess of water in taking to the areas where there is drought and lack of rain. Besides big dams, a chain of small reservoirs should be constructed to check floods. These small dams, tanks and reservoirs would not only help in controlling floods, but also help in power generation. Thus, a vast hydro-electric potential can be exploited to Our great advantage. A few of our rivers, rise in Nepal. Therefore, it is essential that Nepal’s cooperation is sought, in this matter. There are already some river-projects undertaken jointly by India and Nepal, but more cooperative efforts by both the countries should be made in the areas of flood-control, afforestation, conservation and water-storage for power-generation and irrigation.

Similar cooperation between India and Bangladesh is essential. There are some rivers which are common to both the countries. Huge losses caused by floods can be checked by cooperation between India and Bangladesh in construction of dams, afforestation and desiltation of the common rivers. When the floods are unexpected the losses are still greater for than the people are taken unawares. When floods are expected, precautionary measures can be taken to save men and animals. Sometimes floods can be taken advantage of to some extent when expected. Floods enrich the soil and help in moving logs from heights to the plains. To check and control floods huge sums of money is required besides much man-power. Therefore, only the government can make such efforts, but individuals can also help check the floods in their own way, by planting trees and preventing the denundation of green cover in their respective areas.

When there are floods, the life become miserable. The houses are demolished and swept away, crops, and fields are inundated, people and animals die in large number and public services like transportation, electricity, food-supply, schooling, etc., are wrecked. In the wake of floods there are diseases and epidemics. During flood massive relief operations are to be undertaken to rescue the flood affected people. Food-supplies are dropped from the planes and helicopters to the flood victims. They are to be rescued by boats. Many people die in floods for want of quick and timely rescue. The victims of flood are to be provided shelters, clothes, food, medicines and other help immediately. The quick and proper disposal of corpses and carcases also becomes a problem then. A flood is a terrifying scene. Sometimes men and women can be seen clinging to the trees or crying for help on the roofs of their houses during floods. During floods the government have to take immediate reliefs and rescue measures and sanction huge funds for the purpose. To alleviate the suffering of the victims of flood relief camps are opened where people are provided with shelter, food, clothing, medicine, etc. Public also donates generously to the flood relief fund. Then there are Prime Minister and Chief Minister’s relief funds for such national calamities as floods. But prevention is better than cure. Such steps should be taken as to minimise the dangers of floods. When there are floods government starts relief works on a massive scale with the cooperation of the public at large. Since floods are a recurring feature in India, they are being accepted as a part of life in flood-prone areas of the country.
