A case study of flooding in a rich part of the world and one from a poorer area-the different effects of and responses to flooding. England (MEDC) Bangladesh (LEDC) Date & Time July 2007 Summer 2004 CAUSE - Physical Changes in the JET STREAM The unusual position of the Atlantic jet stream has been blamed by some. "This year it has been much FURTHER SOUTH for much of the summer resulting in areas of LOW PRESSURE (a depression) right across the UK which causes HEAVY RAIN," Convergence of Air Masses On Friday July 21st, a cool weather system spinning over the Atlantic drifted into Britain and collided with warm air that was bringing heat waves to Spain, France and eastern Europe. The warm air rose, cooled, contracted and released its moisture in a 24-hour of non-stop rain. Heavy Rainfall As a result, during May June and July the rainfall in the Severn Valley was higher than usual 400mm fell across the UK. It was the wettest period since records began in 1776 water soaked into the ground it became saturated. Almost two months of rain fell in one day on Friday 21st July 2007. RELIEF The flat and low-lying nature of the landscape surrounding the river Severn. When water breached the banks of the River Severn’s channel it just spread across the land for long distances THREE MAJOR RIVERS The Meghna, Brahmaputra and Ganges rivers flow through Bangladesh from India and the Himalayas to their mouth at the Bay of Bengal, bringing water into Bangladesh from a catchment 12 times the size of Bangladesh itself. Heavy Rainfall and a MONSOON CLIMATE, heavy rains between May- September every year, when moist winds blow from the sea. The continuous rainfall fell on saturated soil increasing surface runoff into rivers Melting snow From glaciers in the Himalayan mountains during late spring and summer increased discharge in the Brahmaputa and Ganges river. Peak discharge occurred in both rivers at the same time which increased discharge down stream TROPICAL CYCLONES cause storm surges where sea water is funnelled up the Bay of Bengal and onto low lying coastal areas causing coastal flooding. Coastal flooding also hinders the drainage of the 3 major rivers, into the sea causing the water to back up making them more prone to flooding. Relief LOW, FLAT COUNTRY. 80% of Bangladesh is located on floodplains and river deltas, 70% is less than 1 metre above sea level, so once the rivers overflow the water can spread vast distances.
exceeds the community’s need for drinking water, villagers can now garden and grow vegetables on their land plots. As water now runs from the tap, Nurova, who recently finished secondary school, can provide better care for her sisters and brothers since she no longer needs to spend hours a day getting water for her family. “I never thought of the fact that just an improved access to water can have such effect on the life of people,” says Nurova. Now that water is easily accessible, Nurova plans to cultivate vegetables and plant fruit trees on the family’s 0.18 hectare plot of land, which has never been cultivated due to lack of water and the dry climate. This plot can give the family access to otherwise expensive vegetables and fruits, save money that would be spent at the market, improve the family’s diet with diverse food, and potentially provide income from the sale of excess produce. The USAID Local Governance Project in Tajikistan is a project launched in 2012. The objective of the project is to enhance USAID assistance to the Government of Tajikistan in the implementation of the Law “On Local Self-Governance in Towns and Townships.” On a sub-national level, the project partners with 20 municipalities in districts across all four regions of Tajikistan and aims at improving local governments’ capacity in delivering communal services to citizens particularly clean drinking water. To date, about 26,000 rural residents gained access to improved drinking water with the support of the USAID Local Governance Project in Tajikistan.
Defining outcomes This section includes a summary of the outcomes to which the Water Unit contributes. Table 2: Defining outcomes Regulatory regime Outcomes Safe drinking water framework Continued provision of safe drinking water by water agencies through effective risk management. This aims to prevent the likelihood of illness occurring that is associated with the quality of Victoria’s reticulated drinking water supply. Improved oral health outcomes amongst consumers of Victoria’s drinking water supplies through providing fluoridated water to Victorian communities. Improved health and wellbeing of Victorians through promoting awareness and understanding of issues affecting the safety and aesthetics of drinking water. Public aquatic facilities Improved water quality at aquatic facilities (swimming pools and spas) to reduce the incidence of illness amongst patrons. This is achieved through the provision of advice to local government, aquatic facility operators and patrons.

Data Source: WAPDA. 1990. Groundwater investigations and monitoring Groundwater occurs in Pakistan under varying conditions. As such it is affected largely by changes in prevailing climatic conditions. Groundwater investigations started in the Indus basin during 1957 and extended to mountainous areas of KP, Balochistan and desert areas of Cholistan. Altogether, 33.4 million ha were covered by groundwater investigations. During these investigations, 3399 test bores were made to estimate the sub-surface lithology and aquifer characteristics. In the same manner, groundwater quality data were collected from these test holes. Post project monitoring of groundwater parameters in the private sector stared by WAPDA during 1966 with emphases on water table behaviour and tubewell performance. Later on, water quality was included in this programme. The programme was expanded further to cover evaluation of SCARPs, water table appraisals, soil monitoring, land-use monitoring and water quality monitoring. Quarterly, by-annual and annual reports have been prepared by WAPDA containing monitoring, and evaluation records. WAPDA has published a basin-wide Atlas in 1979 covering aspects of surface and profile salinity, soil texture, water table depth, groundwater quality and land use. The number of boreholes was not sufficient to characterise the water quality. Therefore, WAPDA under the National Drainage Programme has initiated a study to update the Atlas of soil and groundwater with increased numbers of bore holes. This atlas is now available for use. The details of waterlogged area in Pakistan are presented in Figure 6. Figure 6: Waterlogged area in Pakistan. Data Source: IWASRI. 2005. Drainage Atlas of Pakistan, WAPDA. Disposal of Industrial and Domestic Effluents Table 12 shows the industrial wastewater discharges reported by the Punjab Irrigation Department which is receiving polluted water in the drains and rivers. The data reflect that total annual volume of polluted industrial or municipal effluents discharged by only 18 districts of Punjab to the surface waters is 1.08 MAF reflecting more than one percent of the

Water Quality and Our Environment: Frontloading Activity Teacher: Kelly Brown Grade/Class/Subject: 6th Grade Science Introduction: The frontloading activity is designed to activate students’ prior knowledge and address conceptions and/or misconceptions about water quality. The images students observe come from the news articles they will read later on in the unit. Students also complete an initial response to the essential question which can then be returned to later in the unit as a self-reflection of their learning. Unit/Theme: Water Quality Standards: MS-ESS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Content Objective(s): Students will make subjective and objective observations about the quality of water based on photographs. Language Objective(s): Students will write observations and inferences as notes. Students will orally describe observations and ask questions. Key Vocabulary: subjective observation objective observation contamination bacteria purified filtered Supplementary Materials: Slides with pictures See, Think, Wonder note sheet SIOP Features Preparation Scaffolding Group Options ☒Adaptation of content ☒Modeling ☒Whole class ☒Links to background ☒Guided practice ☐Small groups ☒Links to past learning ☒Independent practice ☒Partners ☒Strategies incorporated ☒Comprehensible input ☒Independent Integration of Processes Application Assessment ☐Reading ☐Hands-on ☒Individual ☒Writing ☒Meangingful ☐Group ☒Speaking ☒Linked to objectives ☒Written ☐Listening ☒Promotes engagement ☐Oral Lesson Sequence: Think-Pair-Share essential question, “What is dirty water?” Students complete quick write (5 minutes) in response to essential question, “What is dirty water?” Provide sentence starter , “Dirty water is…” Records students’ answers on board.
