A SHORT INTRODUCTION
A SHORT INTRODUCTION
Flood in Assam is a deep headache for its people and also for the government of this state. We know that today you are taking a bit interested to know about this matter. So here we are at your service. Ok, now first let’s try to learn a short introduction of it. Assam is a land of two different mighty rivers. One is the Brahmaputra and another is Barak. Each year the mighty Brahmaputra and it’s tributary rivers cause a flood in vast areas of the valley.
This vast creation of these rivers causes flood and makes huge destruction in people’s life, property, livestock and in many more things. More than 15 districts including upper and lower Assam faces this problem each and every year. They are especially Sivasagar, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Golaghat, Jorhat, Nagaon, Chirang, and Barpeta, etc. As we know, no results can come out without an action; if we take flood in Assam as a result then it must possible that it has a lot of causes too. Assam’s flood has also its natural and artificial causes. Therefore exploring these all causes and solutions we have prepared this post for you. So now let’s take a look at its natural and artificial causes.The 2016 Assam floods were caused by large rains over the Indian state of Assam in July 2016. ... The rainfall resulted in floodingof various rivers and on 5 July the Brahmaputra River had crossed its danger mark level in the seven districts of Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Nagaon, Jorhat, Golaghat, Morigaon and Biswanath.
The state of Assam has witnessed frequent
flooding, almost on an annual basis. The floods in this State are attributed to
the Brahmaputra that passes through state. Its tributaries also contribute to
the constant flooding in the state. The region experiences constant rainfall,
year in year out. The rainfall contributes a lot to the flooding. The state is
located in a plain and this does not help matters much. When it rains in the
upper region, the lower plains experience the fury of the river. Being a plain,
the water will just fill up the low lands, displacing people and destroying
crops during the rainy season. To control the flooding, the authorities can
build dykes on either sides of the channel to restrict the overflow of water.
Without such measures, the flooding will continue to wreak havoc and
destruction. The recurrent destruction can be stopped only if measures are
taken to save people and property.
